Rotary Charity Auction 2012 |
Aug 4, 2012 |
Our Annual Charity Auction and Flea Market was a great event! A sudden thunderstorm Friday night played havoc with the Book Tent, but even so, Margie managed miraculously. We debuted a new "make me an offer" section of the Live Auction, and outsourced the Food Tent to the East Boothbay Methodist Church. |

Rebuilding Together |
May 5, 2012 |
Rebuilding Together is an opportunity for neighbors to help neighbors who need an extra hand doing maintenance in their home or yard. One weekend a year, we come together to paint, scrape, roof, thwack and hammer and generally help out our neighbors who may be too elderly or physically unable to keep up with the maintenance on their homes. |

Basketball Tourney |
Apr 6, 2012 |
Every year since before women's sports have been fashionable, we've cohosted a junior-high mid-coast basketball tourney. While the boys play in the gym at the Y, we staff the girls' tourney at Boothbay Region Elementary School. That means staffing the door, the refreshment stand, and working as timekeepers. |

Friends Forever is a joint project of Rotary and the YMCA that each year brings 10 teens from Northern Ireland -- both Protestants and Catholics -- together for several weeks in our area and teaches them that they have more in common than they think.

Rotary - Lions Golf Tournament |
Jun 5, 2011 |
It's always fun when Rotary and Lions get together for our almost-annual joint golf tournament, and when Brenda Blackman chairs the event, we know it will be a success. It's also remarkable how much money Bill Bailey can make just selling mulligans and dispensing philosophy, and who knew that Vic Taylor was born to be an auctioneer?

Looking Back at Lobster Bakes |
Sep 1, 2005 |
The Boothbay Harbor Rotary Club has celebrated the end of summer with a lobster bake for as long as even Ken Honey can remember. In years’ past the event was held at Howie Friant’s place on Boston Island, and if these photos are to be believed, the day was a stag affair more often than not. Take a trip down memory lane with these photos, which date back to the early ‘80s. Recognize anyone’s younger self?

Looking back at Rotary Auctions |
Aug 1, 2005 |
In 1957, the club voted to take over Lobster Time, previously a project of the PTA. That year, the price for a lobster was set at $1.50, and the fundraiser netted $895. Then the club expanded the event to include an auction starring Brud Pierce as auctioneer, and eventually the lobsters were superseded by the more lucrative sale of donated stuff. Here's some of the photos from the Clubhouse archives. |
