The Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club recently provided winter gear to elementary schools in Stevens Brook, Crooked River, and Songo Locks. On December 13, Rotarians George Klauber and Aaron Hagan delivered new boots, pants, gloves, and hats to all three schools.
Every fall, Aaron Hagan collaborates with school counselors to identify the necessary winter gear and sizes.
This project has been important for about eight years, with other organizations also contributing. The club and Friends of Rotary helped meet the need this year.
President Dr. Lisa Ryan expressed gratitude, saying, “Members of the Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club and our Friends always give generously for this important cause. Thank you for helping the schools provide winter clothes to students in need. Our Club wishes everyone in the Lakes Region a happy holiday season.”
