Waterville, Maine — The Waterville Rotary Noon club has had a busy year of putting “Service above Self”. With the new Rotary year starting in July, the club has already completed several Community Outreach and assistance projects.
In June, to wrap up the previous year, Rotary District 7790 hosted its District Conference in Waterville. Visiting many local businesses, tours, and events, Waterville saw an economic impact of over $100,000 in spending over the two-day conference. Many visitors also extended their stay in Waterville beyond the conference.
Rotarians Jeff Melanson, Michele Prince, Andrea Pasco and Dan Eccher volunteered to help distribute hundreds of LLBean backpacks filled with school supplies at the South End Neighborhood Association's 18th Annual "South End National Night Out Event on August 6 at the Green Street Park in Waterville.
Club member Jim Chapman, Advisor of the Kennebec Valley Business Club and Student Senate also volunteered at the festival. The students offered face painting and a ring toss game with prizes. They loved spending time with the community and are looking forward to future collaborations
Despite 90F+ record breaking temperatures on Wednesday June 19, Rotary volunteers weeded and mulched gardens at the Riverwalk at Head of Falls, one of our club's signature projects.There is a planned tour of the Riverwalk for attendees at this weekend's Rotary District Conference, so we want the walk to look its best!

Our club was happy to join the Sunrise Club to collect toothpaste for the Waterville Area Essentials Closet. Over 5 dozen tubes of toothpaste was donated by club members. The Closet is a program of the 1srt Congregational Church of Waterville and provides personal and household items for community members in need. They have served over 1650 different people who represent more than 4500 family members in their homes.
Members of our club participated in the South End Neighborhood Association Annual Spring Clean Up, which was held on Saturday April 27. Rotarians gathered trash from both sides of Donald Carter Memorial Drive leading from
the bridge to the intersection of Grove St in Waterville.
18 contractor size garbage bags of roadway trash were collected along with a pickup truck bed of larger items, We estimated that at least 90% of the trash collected was plastic!
At a recent club meeting, Dan Eccher, club president and Michele Prince, Community Services Chair present Paula Raymond of the South End Neighborhood Association (SENA) a check for $1500.00 to support purchase of bikes for SENA's annual bicycle program..PNG)
