We are pleased to report that Michael J Sanphy has submitted an application for membership.  Mike is very active in the Westbrook community.   He is currently Westbrook City Councilman Ward 5 (since 2011) and President of the Westbrook Historical Society. He is on the Advisory Council at MPTC and is involved with many other local organizations.  He has resided in Westbrook for about 50 years.  

 

Born and raised in Portland, he served in the Navy before returning to school, eventually earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Maine.  He joined the Westbrook Police Department in 1968, where he rose to the rank of sergeant before retiring in 2008 as its longest-serving officer. He also worked as a fire department captain and director of Westbrook Emergency Management.

 

The weather in Standish at beautiful Sebago Lake was perfect on Tuesday July 19.  About 50 Westbrook-Gorham Rotarians and friends enjoyed lobster or steak at our annual lobster bake, followed by a Rotary sing-along.  Warren the Moose was also there enjoying the festivities!

 

 

 

Thanks are due to many people: to Henry Saunders for hosting us again this year; to Nelson Harmon for organizing and securing the lobsters; to Dan Willett, Walt Stinson, and Mike Foley for cooking up a great feast; to Pat & Cliff Plummer for elbow grease, utensils, and supplies; to all members who helped prepare the site and/or brought a dish or dessert to share.

 

   

 

A very successful team effort. Thank you for making this a great event of food and fellowship.

 

  

 

 

Let's do it again next year!!
