Annual nut sale reluctantly cancelled

Fri, 12/04/2020 - 4:30pm

At this time of year, Camden Rotary Club members usually spend our weekends selling delicious holiday nuts for people to enjoy with their families and friends.

Our annual sale is a highlight of the year for us – an opportunity to greet people at our downtown table in front of French & Brawn.

In recent years, customers of Camden National Bank, TD Bank,  and The First have been able to purchase nuts in the warmth of bank lobbies.

This time around, we have reluctantly canceled our nut sale due to safety concerns. However, we continue doing charitable work and community service projects. And early in 2021, we will open applications for charitable grants for local nonprofit organizations.

Sincere thanks to our customers and the bank employees who have made this effort such a success in the past.

We look forward to providing tasty treats for the holidays in 2021!

Chris Richmond is President of the Camden Rotary Club
