District Newsletter Editor
RC of Bridgton-Lake Region
Dan Reed is a member of the District 7780 Public Image Committee and the RC of Biddeford-Saco. When I asked for ideas for the Newsletter during the committee meeting, he mentioned that a newsletter he does for SCORE has been highlighting a Consultant a month. These bios have been a big hit. So why not? I asked if he would give us a sample of this work by profiling himself. Here it is.
Why did you join Rotary?
Dan: When I first moved to Maine, I found it challenging to get engaged with the community. When I learned about Rotary, it became clear to me that it was a great way to both meet more influential people in my community and engage with and help many more local people through the opportunities Rotary offers for good works and volunteering.
How long have you been with Rotary?
Dan: I’ve been with Rotary for about one year now.
What do you do in your career?
Dan: I help business owners thrive with marketing and media, helping them get on an even footing with their larger regional and national competitors.
Share something most people don't know about you.
Dan: I really love local art! I like supporting a local community art gallery in Biddeford, Common Roots Studio.
Give us 2 truths and a lie:
Dan: I’m from Ohio.
I enjoy grapefruit for breakfast.
I am a cheese connoisseur.
I enjoy grapefruit for breakfast.
I am a cheese connoisseur.
The Lie revealed: I hate grapefruit.
This may be an addition to the newsletter if readers like the idea. If you would like to be profiled or know someone you’d like to see in this spot, let me know. I’m especially interested in our newer members because they are choosing to become Rotarians in spite of all we and the world have been through with the pandemic over the past two years.
