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 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:
- Benefits Scholarships and Local Food Pantries
- Annual Chuck Cumming Memorial Golf Tournament
- Miniature Golf
- Festival of Trees
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
- "Day of Warming" at the Senior Center
- Harborfest BBQ
- CPR Courses
Currently our club meets the first (8:00am) and third (11:30am) Wednesday of the month for breakfast/lunch at For the Love of Food and Drink located at 411 Post Road in Wells. For more information, please contact Nate Mayo at nate@anchorrealestatecompany.com.
