West Bay Rotary
Semi-annual donation day
We help organizations that help others.
This is where the Rotary money goes & where your money goes.
Coastal Mountain Land Trust
Doug Sensenig – Land conservation between Camden and the Penobscot River
Half of the land protected voluntarily by land owners / half purchased as reserves
Kristen Lindquist has raised about $10,000,000 to protect land
Rotary has been a great partner in land preservation
Pen Bay YMCA
Troy Curtis
West Bay has been a long time partner for summer camp opportunities
1500 weeks of summer camp
300 of those weeks were given or at a reduced rate to families
The need is always there & west Bay is always there to support this cause.
MCH – Making Change Happen
Lee Karker – Executive Director
MCH is very appreciative of the support that West Bay has provided.
The goal to keep seniors and people with disabilities independent, in their homes, for as long as possible.
Provide transportation, housing, etc.

Meals on Wheels – Where we have to raise the most support
PAWS
Marty Martens
Restoration in progress – we have raised about 2/3 the amount of money needed for the reconstruction.
They would love to have newspaper bags for waste removal.

Camp Capella
Dan Mosier & Hillary
Hillarys’ son is a junior at Camden Hills – he has Cerebral Palsy
Her son goes to Camp Capella – overnight camp. It is a really big deal. For a child with a disability, camp is challenging. It needs to feel right.
Great for the family, great for Alex to have those memories.
Thank you!
