This week we will have our final club assembly for our centennial year. We will focus on our two biggest efforts. Our 5th annual Maine Outdoor Challenge (MOC) will be presented by Cyrus. As you know this event is our biggest fundraiser (outside of this year’s Centennial Gala) and provides the bulk of money for our international and local projects. In addition to being a unique, fun “competition,” there is a great lobster bake to top off the MOC and to celebrate the beginning of summer. As our club's largest fundraiser, it is imperative that all members help in some area. Whether that is finding teams, auction items, or volunteering, this is your opportunity to put service above self.

We will also hear this week about several of our service projects. How is the money we raised spent? We will largely focus on our long-term 3H project: our Dominican Republic (DR) project for Hearing, Hands and H2O. We'll hear from members of this year’s team on their most recent efforts in the DR. We'll also hear from the Community Service and Youth Service committees on where the most recent grant monies have been allocated.

Be sure to attend this week, it will be a report on the core of why you joined Portland Rotary: to give back.
