Bear Mt. Inn to Host Rotary

Bear Mountain Inn in Waterford will invite donations for the BridgtonLake Region Rotary Club’s long-time project in Kakamega, Kenya, at its Winter Pub this Saturday, Jan. 28, from noon to 4 p.m. There will be live music, as well as food and beverages for purchase.

“When I went to Kakamega in March of 2018 with a team of Rotarians from southern Maine and coastal New Hampshire, I was overwhelmed with the work taking place there encouraging education for children and entrepreneurship for women. We met children, families and women students learning business planning, farming and animal husbandry. This allowed these women to take an active role in communities most of them were not born into,” Carol Madsen remarked. “From the 13 bins of supplies we brought with us to funding for latrines and roof repairs and most recently a Rotary Global Grant for the education in entrepreneurship, the work of Kenya Rising is fully supported by our Rotary Club, the region and the world.”

Rotary President Aaron Hagan said, “I hope that folks will come by the pub and talk to us about our work in Kenya. We’ll have some fun while talking about the good news in Kakamega.”
