The Rotary Club of Bethel Helps Children in Iraq

When Bethel Rotarian Robin Zinchuk asked her son, U.S. Marine Cpl. Brian Zinchuk, what he wanted for his birthday in September, the young man didn’t want gifts for himself. Instead, the 23-year-old Marine, on his second tour of duty in Iraq, asked for soccer balls and other toys for children in the area where he is stationed. His wish was publicized in several newspaper articles, and to date more than 200 soccer balls, along with many stuffed animals, have been collected and sent to Iraq. Coordination has been provided by the Bethel Rotary Club. Wrote Brian to his mother, “The children seem to be reacting really well to everything that you are sending. Sometimes it’s hard tell them that I don’t have anything left.” While soccer balls and toys continue to be donated, the charge to ship them overseas is quite expensive. If any other Rotary Clubs in the district wish to contribute funds to help with the shipping, it would be greatly appreciated. Checks payable to the Bethel Rotary Club may be sent c/o The Inn at the Rostay, 186 Mayville Rd., Bethel ME 04217.

The Wells Rotary Club is raising money to build a Pavilion at the Wells Park and Recreation Area. A number of fundraisers have taken place and a number are scheduled to raise some $60,000 to construct the pavilion. The pavilion is expected to be similar to the one built in Harbor Park several years ago.
