WASH Rotary Action Group video wins 3rd place
This is a chance for all of us to share in the joy that WASH projects bring to
our beneficiary communities.  The Rotary Clubs of Bath, York, Boothbay and Bath Sunrise
along with District 7780 supported this fun and rewarding effort. The kids learned about the 
transmission of germs by handing around a glitter ball. The children built their own Tippy-Tap
hand washing station and many requested materials in order to build one at home.

CIO University Students
Rich Cromwell reports some news from the CIO Orphanage in Cambodia:
 
We are all so proud of Srey Hang, Sokneat and Sokleng. Not only have they studied hard and passed their national exams (like our SAT's) but
they are also a big help to Srey Mom at CIO. Each has their own heartbreaking story but they are focused with joy and optimism on their futures.
The girls will remain in the CIO family as they continue their studies.
Thank you for your support of CIO and these lovely young ladies!

Lois Skillings addresses the crowd at the Million Mask Challenge event in Portland
Our own Lois Skillings spoke at the Portland stop of the Million Mask Challenge on October 6th, 2020 as a representative of health care workers in our region. The Challenge traveled through six states, hosted nine strategic event stops, delivered 100,000 PPE face-masks to each Rotary District and their Clubs throughout New England. The goal is to have each Rotary Club in these areas provide protective masks to grass-roots first responders, essential workers and schools inside their communities. Rotary District 7780, which includes 41 Rotary clubs in Southern Maine and Coastal New Hampshire, is planning the publicity events around the mask distribution to highlight the importance of wearing masks and the role of Rotarians in the community. Pictured L to R is Bath Rotarian and CEO of Mid Coast-Parkview Health Lois Skillings, District Governor Peggy Belanger and District Governor Elect Dick Hall.
