Rotary's "Friend Raiser" Series

Posted by Dave Seddon

A great gathering at the Allagash Brewing Company last week with over 40 Rotarians and guests! This annual event could not happen without the generosity of a long-time community supporter and recipient of last year's Paul Harris Fellow award, Rob Tod. A warm thank you goes to Charli, our Allagash host, and the "pouring" team. A full array of delicious cheeses and meats, along with Maine's own 'Plucked' Salsa, kept our lively guests fed while enjoying 1 of 5 beers on tap.

The evening highlights, including our raffle proceeds recipient, was United Way's "Summer Feed and Read Program."

Katie Camplin from United Way attended to thank all the Rotarians for their contribution and continued support for this program, specifically the books that make the reading program happen. We raised $1,027 from registration and Allagash-inspired raffle tickets.

We hope to see everyone at this and other future "Friend Raiser" series events.

Special shout-out of thanks to Dave Seddon and Rob Chatfield for continuing this great tradition.
