September 3rd our guest speakers at Rotary provided a clearer picture of the challenges faced by new immigrants and asylum seekers arriving in the State of Maine. We also gained a great deal of respect for the efforts of those individuals working to support them.

On August 6th the Rotary Club of Kittery had an eye-opening presentation on the dangers of melanoma from Dr. Steve Fine, Rotary Club of Peabody Massachusetts and President of the Melanoma Education Foundation. Far more than a risk to fair skinned, older sun worshipers, the silent killer is a much more broad based threat than we had thought.
The Seacoast Wheelers are bringing Adaptive Bikes to the area, Rides have been planned out, Bikes acquired. A new resource will be available for those who might not otherwise be able to get out and enjoy a bike in our communities.
