Close to the Coast Race Brings Community Together – Rotary Clubs Collaborating
By: AG Carol M. Marcotte, Ph.D., Saco Bay Sunset RC
As Assistant Governor, I attended the Freeport/Yarmouth Close to the Coast 5K/10K race on Saturday, June 14. The event kicked off in beautiful Winslow Park, Freeport, and drew participants of all ages.
Following the race, attendees enjoyed live music, free food and beverages, and a variety of family-friendly activities. With more than 20 local sponsors, the event raised funds to support meaningful service projects in both communities.
Freeport is directing its proceeds toward housing rehabilitation for elderly residents and individuals with disabilities. Yarmouth is supporting a prosthetics initiative in Ukraine and building a kitchen to help feed children in rural Cambodia.
