Lobster Bake - Don't forget to sign up this week
Don't forget to sign up for this annual social event on the shores of Sebago Lake at the home of Henry Saunders, 15 Long Point Rd, Standish, ME.
 
Look for a sign up sheet at our next meeting.  Payment of $25 this week is appreciated.  Choice of Lobster or Steak, served with corn and boiled potatoes.  We ask that you bring an appetizer, side or dessert to share.  Also, please bring your beverage of choice. Water will be available.
 
Plan to arrive between 5 and 5:30 for social time, with dinner by 6:15 and a group sing-along starting immediately after dinner.  Family and friends welcome. 
 
We will need help on the weekend before to prepare the area for our party (day TBD). If you can help, please contact Dan Willett 839-3280/ 671-8552 or Nelson Harmon 883-6481/712-0807. 
 
 
Cookin’ for those Rotarians
Thanks to Woody Beach, long time Rotarian and UMaine alumna, for presenting us with a District 779 cookbook circa 1958.  His dad was also a long time Rotarian from the Rumford Club and this cookbook comes from his collection.
 
L-R: Christine Johnson President 2015-2016, Woody Beach,
Dan Willett
 
Cookin' for those Rotarians was sponsored by the Westbrook Rotary Club during the District Governor year of our own Phil Stultz.  As noted in the forward, his wife Orra was instrumental in the compilation of the book, collecting recipes from her fellow Rotary-Anns. The book was dedicated to then Rotary International President Clifford A Randall who is said to have been “a specialist in the culinary arts”.  It is fun to note that the contents are in both English and French, as parts of Canada were included in our District at that time.
 
 
 
We will look forward to sharing some recipes in future Scribblers.
 
Jason Beever Takes the Helm for 2016-2017
