The Sanford-Springvale Rotary Club has a new president. Elias Thomas has stepped up to take the reins for the 2022-23 year, which will be the 100th anniversary of Rotary Club.

Stepping down from leadership of Sanford-Springvale Rotary for the past year were Lawrence Furbish, Barbara Sutcliffe (Furbish) and Heather Thomas Beaupre. Each of them served in the role of president for a portion of the past twelve months.
