The Damariscotta-Newcastle Rotary was in the Twin Villages before Route 1.
It has been around for 16 presidents of the United States and 22 governors of Maine; its first, Percival Proctor Baxter, lent his name to one of the state's most famous parks.
In other words: The Damariscotta-Newcastle Rotary has been around a while.
The group celebrated starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 5 at St. Patrick's Church social hall with a dinner. The dinner was free to Rotary members and $15 to guests.
The Rotary recently picked up a legislative sentiment from Representative Mick Devin, D-Newcastle, as well as praise from the Damariscotta Board of Selectmen.
