July 15, which is less than two weeks away, is the deadline for donations and pick-ups for this year’s Rotary Club Auction on Aug. 3. The community has been very generous resulting in a nearly full barn which creates a huge sorting and organizing job for Rotary volunteers. Please get anything you intend to donate to the Rotary or call for pick ups before then. There will be a moratorium on all donations and pickups from the 15th of July to Aug. 30. This is new, so please note, and allow a week for pick-ups.

High schoolers looking to fulfill their community service requirements are encouraged to contact Rotary to find out how and when they can help. Strong backs and willing hands are always appreciated.

Rotary is pleased to thank the following sponsors and welcomes all local businesses and individuals to join this growing list: Boothbay Region High School, Dead River Company, First Federal Savings, First National Bank, J & A Construction, J. Edward Knight Insurance, Southport Island Marine and The Thistle Inn.

Volunteer, donate, and help this year’s Auction be the biggest yet. All proceeds go directly back into the community to support the many Rotary projects.

For more information contact co-chair Debbie Graves at 380-3550.
