To the Editor:

The Camden Rotary Club would like to thank everyone who supported this year's Super Raffle, which culminated during the Camden Windjammer Festival with our prize drawing. Congratulations to our winners: Mark Gerald of New York City; Gideon Hoffer of Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Judy Bemis of Kingfield, Maine.

We are grateful to all the people who purchased raffle tickets and to French & Brawn Marketplace for allowing us to sell tickets outside the store. All proceeds, apart from the three cash prizes totaling $5,000, will go toward next year's Camden Rotary Foundation grants. Recent recipients of our grants include the Midcoast Recovery Coalition, MCH Meals on Wheels, Camden Public Library and the Area Interfaith Outreach food pantry. Applications for 2018 grants will open in January.

Thanks also to those who attended our Windjammer Festival pancake breakfast on the Camden Public Landing. We take great pleasure in seeing our friends and neighbors at the breakfast every year – and we'll put our earnings to good use for local nonprofits.

Kind regards,

Barry Timms, President
Camden Rotary Club
