Rotary Club of Wells
About Our Club
Rotary Club of Wells
The Rotary Club of Wells was chartered on January 17, 1986 and was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ogunquit Maine. As a community-based nonprofit focused on humanitarianism within our community, we often partner with other community organizations to help make a positive impact.
Community projects which we have supported:
- the refurbishment of the Wells Activity Center, construction of the Wells Harbor Park Pavilion,
- Construction of the new Wells High School Concession Stand,
- Construction of the Wells Park and Recreation Pavilion.
- We also spearheaded the effort to install a beautiful (15') 4 sided clock near the town center, adjacent to the firehouse on Route 1
Fundraising is also a part of our club mission with all proceeds dedicated to meet the critical needs of our community. Proceeds have benefits scholarships, local food pantries to name a few. Some of those have included:
- The sale of onion bulbs
- Annual Golf Classic
- Mystery Dinner
- Miniature Golf
Service projects are not only a benefit for the community but also a great way to enjoy fellowship with fellow Rotarians and members of the community. These are not typically fundraisers but rather projects where we donate our time to help make a difference. Some examples of those include:
- Community reading at Wells public Schools.
- Monthly volunteering at “Soups on” food pantry
- Christmas Caroling at Stephen Eaton Apartments
- Red Cross Blood drives
Currently our club meets the first and third Monday of the month for breakfast and we start each meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer followed by breakfast, meeting updates and a speaker. For more information, please contact Rick Coyne at
