ROTARY CLUB CONTINUES TO SUPPORT FOOD BANK
WITH HOME DELIVERIES
Rotarian Jesse Walsh is a member of the newest team making home deliveries for Harrison Food Bank. Every Tuesday morning, four teams of Rotarians and Friends of Rotary arrive at the Harrison Food Bank and pick up boxes for their 4-8 home deliveries in Norway, Oxford and South Paris.  The Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club is in its third year providing this service for the food bank clients, many of whom are housebound for various reasons.
 
If you would like to work with this program even on a temporary basis, contact Carol Madsen at carjmad@hotmail.com.  All those who provide this service find it rewarding.

ROTARY CLUB MAKES HYBRID WORK!
Rotary Club President Jessica Putnam and Speaker Mike Jewell of Kismet Rock Foundation
 
After nearly two years exclusively on Zoom, the Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club is adapting well to the hybrid option when the majority of members are meeting in person.  “Each meeting the Hybrid Option is working better and better,” exclaimed Jessica Putnam, President for the Club.  “This past week we had three speakers, two in person and one virtual. About 12 Rotarians and guests attended the meeting in person at Stella’s on the Square.  Another six attended virtually.  We are making it work, even with slide shows and speakers both in person and virtually.  The benefit of hybrid is that members who are out of town, checking in from work, or not yet comfortable meeting with others indoors, are able to participate.  And those choosing the fellowship that in person gatherings affords are able to do that as well. We are excited that it is working so well.”

Bridgton Lakes Region Rotary Club Cooks up another Successful Community Kettle
The Bridgton Lakes Region Rotary Club held its first Community Kettle for 2022 on Thursday, February 24 at the Bridgton Community Center. Chef Nick Orgo, owner of Stella’s on the Square, guided a group of enthusiastic volunteers from the Rotary Club and the Interact Club of the Lake Region High School in the preparation of a hearty combination of chili, cornbread, salad, and cookies. The delicious take-out dinner was well-received, as usual. Please look for our next Community Kettle and join us for a special gourmet meal.
