“Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.” Rotary International Vision Statement, June 2017
Rotary is an organization of business and professionals and community leaders united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace throughout the world. There are 1.2 million Rotarians in over 200 countries.
The Rotary Club of Damariscotta-Newcastle membership of approximately 50 women and men enjoys fellowship and has organized fun activities that raise funds to help those in need, locally and throughout the world.
It is our daily actions and our daily decisions, that determine the course of Rotary for us all. As a service club committed to improving our communities, the Damariscotta-Newcastle Rotary participates in hands-on activities, fundraising and projects such as meals for hungry kids, Karl's Kids, scholarships (academic and vocational), literacy, polio eradication, clean water, peace building, etc.
We encourage new membership; if you are interested, contact any Rotarian and join us early any Tuesday morning for a good breakfast and an interesting program. Our meetings are open to all : visiting Rotarians, guests of Rotarians and future Rotarians are always welcome.
Jane Oliver Gravel, President, Damariscotta-Newcastle Maine Rotary 2018-19
