Club News - May 24th, 2010

If you’ve been to the last several meetings, you know the club is bustling with energy. Our snowbirds have landed in Maine and attendance is lively. Here is a quick overview of some of the Rotary and community activities we have lined up this summer


LITTLE LEAGUE AND CAMDEN ROTARY ~ Photo Opportunity & Game

What says more about community than a Little League baseball team and their local Rotary Club sponsor getting together for a photo opportunity at the ballpark followed by a game of baseball?

We would like to invite you ALL to join in on the photo opportunity, meeting at the Rockport Recreation Center by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, June 2nd.

It would be fantastic to see a strong turnout of Rotarians. Bring your family too…as this years undefeated Rotary team is certain to provide some exciting baseball for your viewing pleasure.

Reach Within to Embrace Humanity ~ RI Theme 2011-12

RI-2011-12-Theme RI President-elect Kalyan Banerjee will ask Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity during the 2011-12 Rotary year.  Banerjee unveiled the RI theme during the opening plenary session of the 2011 International Assembly, a training event for incoming district governors.  He urged participants to harness their inner resolve and strength to achieve success in Rotary.

"In order to achieve anything in this world, a person has to use all the resources he can draw on. And the only place to start is with ourselves and within ourselves," Banerjee said.

Once Rotarians find their inner strength, he continued, they can accomplish great things in their communities and around the world.

"Discover yourself, develop the strengths within you, and then unhesitatingly, unflinchingly, go forth and encircle the world, to embrace humanity," he said.
