Rotary Club
The Mars Hill Rotary Club met Aug. 2 at the Aroostook Health Center and the guest speaker was Brian Harris of the Maine State Police. He spoke about being part of the security force at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio recently.
He and six others from Maine were part of a group of 1,500 troopers sent from 22 states to
help the local police forces during the convention. The Maine group helped as part of teams of five patrolling on foot in the area around the convention center. They put in very long days but were pleased with the way the event went and Harris said it was a good learning experience for them.
Food Cupboard need
The Mars Hill Food Cupboard is in need of a special volunteer that can be available on the first Wednesday of each month from 2-5 p.m. for the food delivery. This individual or couple will be responsible for unloading the food products and stocking them on the shelves. For more information, please contact Caroline Hallett at 429-9059. Please consider this volunteer opportunity as a way to help those in need.
