Houlton Rotary Club is part of a larger district that includes all of Aroostook County, some of Canada and down to Calais. Under District Governor Leigh Cummings last year the group raised with matching grant funds over $100,000 for the Water filtration systems that will be installed.
“We are very excited about the trip,” said Tammie Mulvey, Rotary spokesperson. “It is a great humanitarian project that will help people less fortunate than ourselves to have good clean water to drink. So again thank you to all that have provided any type of support.”
