CAMDEN — Members of the Camden Rotary Club are selling tickets for their annual Super Raffle. A drawing on Saturday, September 3, will bring prizes of $500, $1,000 and $1,500 to the three winners.

Sundog Outdoor Expeditions' School Outdoor Expedition program, Merryspring Nature Center and the Knox County Health Clinic (Mid-Coast Health Net, Inc.).
"Year after year, we've appreciated people's generous support of our efforts to help the community," said raffle committee chair Chip Holmes, in a Rotary news release. "With all the challenges that everyone has faced in recent years, we are eager to give generous grants that will benefit those most in need."
