The Sanford-Springvale Rotary Club is growing fast! On November 18, the Club inducted four new members. Pictured below from left to right are Colleen Adams, Community Outreach Coordinator for the Sanford Police Department; Jason Rice, an attorney with Cordell & Cordell; Robert and Jessica Lane, Corps Officers (Lieutenants) with the Sanford Salvation Army; and Rotary Co-President Lawrence Furbish. They join other recently inducted Rotary members – Kaitlin Burnell, co-owner of the Aroma Joes near the Sanford Airport; Troy Richard, manager of the Sanford Aubuchon Hardware store; and Bob Myott, owner of 12 Subway franchises in southern Maine. In a couple of weeks, the Club will induct two more new members, Ericka Sanborn and Jessica Rice, a teacher and principal respectively at St. Thomas School. Great to have more helping hands with Rotary’s good work for our community and the world beyond.
