District 7780 Day of Service....

the damariscotta-newcastle club will begin our semi-annual participation in Adopt-A-Highway.  details to follow.  

This week we look forward to Marty Helman sharing her recent trip to Turkey for the Grand Opening of the newest Rotary Peace Center.   What's a Rotary Peace Center??  There are eight Rotary Peace Centers in the World teaching conflict resolution and international and national cooperation.  An amazing project of the Rotary Foundation -- and just one more reason to be proud to be a Rotarian.

The mission of LCHA is to collect, preservce and interpret the history of Lincoln County Maine, which one extended from Brunswick to Canada.  Key to their work are the Pownalborough Courthouse in Dresden (1761), the Old Jail in Wiscasset (1811) and the Chapman-Hall House (1754) in Damariscotta. 

all 3 museums feature collections of textiles, costumes, tools, furniture, baskets, housewares, maps, photographs, manuscripts and other ephemera that tell real human stories the years our towns became settled communities.

Raised between Hoboken, New Jersey and Dixfield, Maine, Corinne grew up immersed in two completely different worlds. It is no surprise that food became the medium in which she communicates with the community and world around her. She enjoys traveling to strange places, eating weird food, and listening to the stories of the people she meets along the way.

While attending college, Corinne explored entrepreneurial endeavors. Largely focused on plant based menus, she has spent time as a Personal and Executive Raw Food Chef in New York City and Portland, OR, launched a brick and mortar restaurant in Jersey City, NJ, offered affordable and nutritious alternatives to school lunch programs in Northern New Jersey, and explored the world of consumer packaged goods with a raw dessert pie product in the Pacific Northwest. Corinne graduated from the Art Institute of Portland, Oregon with a degree in Sustainable Food Systems and Management in 2013.

As Fork Food Lab’s General Manager, Corinne oversees daily operations and supports both staff and members. She is committed to promoting sustainable economic growth for the future of Maine's food community and she looks forward to working with you.

Past Presidents Linda Brunner and Dirk Brunner of Walpole, Maine, once again create  a magical, traditional Maine lobster bake with all the fixings: lobster, clams, corn, potatoes, onions and eggs all baked in seaweed in a fire pit right on the rocks by Clarks Cove on the shore of the Damariscotta River.  Club members and family enjoy this treat every late summer/early fall, paid for with their happy dollars collected all year at meetings.
