Rotary Club
The Mars Hill Rotary Club met on Tuesday, Sept. 22, at 6:30 a.m. at the Aroostook Health Center. The club discussed some of the projects currently being done — the Birthday Calendars, the UV bracelets and the book to be done on “Remembering Mars Hill.”
Rotarian Larry Fletcher spoke to the club on his experiences as a Rotarian. He joined the Mars Hill Rotary Club around 1982. He remembers many of the past Rotary members and spoke of what he learned from them. He took over the popcorn concession at the high school basketball games and has enjoyed working with other Rotarians on the many projects the Club has undertaken over the years.
He told the newer members that they will get out of Rotary much more than they put into it.
The Rotary Club is part of an international organization that works together for the good of the local community and the world.
