Winteract family fun festival |
Jan 9, 2010 |
Interact, our high school affiliate, raises money for the causes they care most about. For the past two years they have put on "Winteract," a winter family fun festival,with all the proceeds going to the local fuel assistance fund. We toboggan, snow-shoe, enjoy Deb's famous chili and Adam's burgers, and indoor games when the air gets a bit too chill. |

Winter Dance |
Dec 12, 2009 |
For the past two years we've organized a December winter dance. We request corporate sponsors, turn the American Legion hall into a winter wonderland, dance to the sounds of the Big Chiefs band, enjoy great appetizers and cameraderie, and all the proceeds benefit the home heating oil fund! |

Veterans Recognition Night |
Nov 11, 2009 |
Each year we honor our vets, active duty personnel, Gold Star honorees as well as families of currently deployed troops with a special recognition dinner. We thank them for their service, and they thank us for inviting them to dinner. We began this tradition in 2006, and already it has out-grown the Clubhouse! |

Friends Forever |
Nov 1, 2009 |
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. Our Rotary Club has both sponsored and hosted the Irish teens for many years. |

Hometown Heroes 2009 |
Sep 17, 2009 |
Hometown Heroes is our club's response to 9/11. In 2009 we invited all our local First Responders -- police, fire, EMT, communications and Coast Guard -- plus their families for an indoor picnic of burgers and dogs at the Legion Hall. And our own Christin and Chelsie were among the special awardees, because they each responded with quick thinking and rapid action in a time of crisis. |

Lobster Bake 2009 |
Sep 10, 2009 |
It wouldn't be the end of summer without a club lobster bake, and this year 60 Boothbay Harbor Rotarians and family members met for cheer and crustaceans at the Southport Yacht Club. The evening was hosted by Cy and Sandra Seifert, and enlivened by good fellowship and fun. |

Rotary Auction 2009 |
Aug 1, 2009 |
Our Auction has grown into a lot more than an auction: The Silent Auction has joined the Boutique and Flea Market as critical to success, and the entire weekend is a full-participation, feel-good time for neighbors, friends, and oh, yes, Rotarians. Also this year, the Interact Club did a great job at the Food Concession! All the hard work, the prep, and the 100% club participation paid off with fabulous receipts in a recessionary season!

Changeover 2009 |
Jun 25, 2009 |
Boothbay Harbor and Damariscotta-Newcastle Rotary Clubs once again held a joint Changeover event at the Botanical Gardens. Amid a great turnout and fabulous weather, the "gavel was passed" (and so was the wine and beer). Governor-elect Jeff Pelkey joined us for the festivities, and we marked a successful year finished, a new year about to begin. |

Rotary - Lions Golf Tournament |
Jun 13, 2009 |
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?

Soup Bowl Supper |
Mar 26, 2009 |
For the past 12 years, our club has joined with the Watershed Center for the Arts in creating a sell-out community event. Watershed artists make hand-thrown bowls -- lots of 'em -- and Rotarians under the able leadership of Jim Botti ask local merchants and gourmands to prepare soups, chowders, chilis, plus salad, rolls and desserts. Then we all choose our own bowl, use it for dinner and to keep, and dig in! |

Safe Passage/Camino Seguro |
Feb 1, 2008 |
Our Rotary Club has a multiyear commitment to Safe Passage/Camino Seguro, a program that makes it possible for 550 children whose parents are pickers on the Guatemala City dump to go to school and have a future. We have organized several Rotary Foundation grants that have purchased vehicles for the program, and we've also helped build a community garden and sports field. Most important, we've donated our time and energies to the program. |

Group Study Exchange to the Philippines |
Feb 1, 2008 |
Group Study Exchange is a Rotary program that offers young professionals a month-long opportunity to live in and experience another country. Our club enjoyed a banner 2008 for Group Study Exchange: Our District's team included both leader Marty Helman and two team members from our Region. They traveled to the Philippines, and then the Philippine Rotarians reciprocated by sending a team to visit us here. |

Gulf Coast Rebuilding |
Oct 26, 2007 |
When hurricanes Katrina and Rita left tremendous devastation in 2005, our club felt a special "tug" to help. Three club members joined Rebuilding Together's "Rebuild 1000" in 2007 and traveled to Gulfport, Mississippi. They worked on one of six houses that over 100 volunteers painted, plastered, puttied and made move-in ready. Earlier, Rotarian Marty Helman volunteered in a New Orleans suburb, and came back to raise money to rebuild a soup kitchen in Slidell, Louisiana. |

Rebuilding Together 2007 |
May 12, 2007 |
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. |

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. |
