Stories
Return to WRVC for Summer
We learned last Tuesday that the Legion no longer has Beverly Preston on staff to cook for us each week. In addition, they have instituted a room rental fee.  As a result, we decided to explore options.  
 
Thanks to Mike Foley, we now have a new plan for this summer.   We will be meeting back at WRVC at 125 Stroudwater St starting this coming week, June 21. Mike has made arrangements with Mr Bagel to deliver a variety of meals over the course of the summer weeks for a reasonable cost to us.  He has also been working with Todd at WRVC for access. 
 
See you this week back at Westbrook Regional Vocational Center.
 
Multiple Paul Harris Fellows Awarded
On June 7, we thanked Henry Saunders for his long time support of the Rotary Foundation by recognizing him with a Paul Harris Fellow +2.  In the past, Henry has funded Paul Harris Fellows for his late wife Marge Saunders and his brother Don Saunders.  Henry has served in Rotary for nearly 49 years.
 
 
On June 14, we thanked Dr. Wayne Lopez for his ongoing support of the Rotary Foundation with a Paul Harris Fellow +4. Wayne has served in Rotary for over 36 years. 
 
 
Stroudwater Lodge - New Senior Living Community
Mary Willson, Marketing Director Stroudwater Lodge in Westbrook, was our guest and speaker on June 14. She shared floor plans and elevation drawings as she told us about this new facility under construction off Spring St.
 
Opening this late fall adjacent to Avita of Stroudwater will be Stroudwater Lodge, a Northbridge Senior Living Community of 95 from one bedroom studio to two bedroom units. Designed for people who enter at independent level, but allowing them to remain in their apartment and using services as needed.
 
This state of the art fully sprinkled building will be built to green standards and will include a full spectrum of activities for residents. While residents can prepare their own meals in their units, meals will also be offered in their dining room, with ingredients sourced locally as much as possible.
