BRIDGTON — The Bridgton-Lake Region Rotary Club presented seven pairs of boots to the Steven Brook Elementary School on Wednesday, March 3.
Rotarians Nicholas Orgo, of Stella’s on the Square, and Aaron Hagan, of Key Bank, bought and delivered the boots to Lindsey Hagan, school counselor. Most of the boots were bought at Renys.
In addition, in January Rotarians George Klauber and Orgo delivered children’s boots, jackets and snow pants to Songo Locks Elementary School in Naples. Requested sleds were delivered to Bridge Crossing at the same time.
Because of the on and off nature of in-person classes and the restriction on in-person gatherings, not only were the students’ needs frequently unknown, but delivery was difficult. It has been a tough year for schools — children, teachers and staff alike. We have encouraged school counselors to reach out to the Rotary Club if further needs become known.
“One of the reasons I love being a Rotarian is that I have many opportunities to help in the community and a circle of like-minded people around me, other Rotarians, who are there to partner with me,” Hagan said.
