On September 29th, Ogunquit Rotary Club President Bob Cruickshank presented club member Carol Brennan with a Paul Harris Fellow award.

Congratulations, Carol Brennan!
December 6th, Ogunquit Rotary Club hosted its annual Senior Holiday Luncheon at Jonathan’s Restaurant in Ogunquit. Every year, the club invites local Senior members of the community to enjoy a holiday luncheon along with a group of Wells Junior High School’s 5th grade students and teachers, Rotary Club members, guests, and guest of honor Santa Claus. The event brings together generations to share a meal, while also enjoying holiday music performed by Pastor Jeff Patnaude and pianist Ann-Marie Johnson, and singing assisted by the Wells 5th grade students and attendees. Ogunquit Rotary donated a set of books, handpicked by Ogunquit Librarian & Rotarian Mary Littlefield, to the Wells 5th grade students for their school library.
ROTARY PARK CHRISTMAS TREE
Finally, the Ogunquit Chamber’s annual Christmas by the Sea event was held December 8-10th, and this year it included the official lighting of the Rotary Park Christmas Tree, which was handpicked and decorated by the Ogunquit Rotary Club. Then the following day, the Ogunquit Club participated in the Christmas by the Sea parade, which originates in Perkins Cove & concludes at Ogunquit Beach. The Ogunquit Rotary Club is thankful for a wonderful year of service, community-building, & fun!
