Golf Classic - Time to start solicitation for our Annual Golf Classic on September 20, 2016. Brochures should be available at our next meeting. Electronic version is available from Steve Rand.
MPTC Beach to Beacon - Race Volunteers are needed to support MPTC as major beneficiary of this year's B2B. If you are interested, go to http://www.beach2beacon.org/volunteer and sign up for Team MPTC.
Literacy Initiative - Kate Wight reported on a reading initiative she is developing with the Village School in Gorham. This will start in the Fall. Any who volunteer are asked to commit to one hour a week for 6 weeks. In addition, the school will be interested in volunteers talking about their vocation with students. This sounds like a wonderful project and it ties in nicely with the Governor's Literacy Award for the 2016-2017 Rotary year and DGE Marge Barker's focus on Literacy.
Gift of Life - Gift of Life New England held a board meeting recently. Paul Emery attended. There as some concern that this organization would disband, but it will continue. Paul has asked the organization to help him fund one child during the upcoming Rotary year.
House Project - Dale Ave - We are nearly ready to put this house on the market. A meeting was to be held Wednesday June 8 to review remaining steps. The mold had been completely remediated. We will look for an update at our next meeting. We must also now start the process of developing the final lot on Dale Ave.
