Rotary Spirit Student Award March/April 2021
Olivia Langner and Alex Mejia were recently honored as the March/April 2021 Rotary Spirit Student Award (RSSA) recipients at this morning's meeting.
Each school year-quarter, the Fort Fairfield Middle/High School faculty/staff provide student nominations for the RSSA. The club’s program committee then selects recipients from amongst these identification redacted-nominee write-ups. The program’s evaluation criteria recognizes that in order to be a productive member of the community the student must be well-rounded in academics, citizenship, and personal development. Each recipient receives a recognition certificate and an iTunes gift card.
At school year's-end, the Rotary Spirit Student of the Year (SOY) is chosen from amongst the eight quarterly recipients. The SOY receives a monetary award and their name is displayed on a perpetual plaque at FFMHS. All RSSA recipients and the SOY are recognized during the FFMHS Honors Night event.

Meet a Rotarian: December 2020
For the December edition of 'Meet a Rotarian,' we learn more about Fort Fairfield Rotary Club President/Treasurer Tracy Copeland.
I joined the Fort Fairfield Rotary in 2009, shortly after moving from the Chicago suburbs to Fort Fairfield with my wife. A few months after joining I became the club treasurer, a position I hold today. Three years ago I also became club president and continue in this role.
One of the reasons I like being a club member is the many contributions we have made to our community, both monetarily and through volunteering. We support our schools through things like scholarships, and the Rotary Spirit program. We support our town by sponsoring the bike rodeo at the Maine Potato Blossom Festival, sponsoring the annual Thanksgiving dinner, along with many other sponsorships and activities. Although our club has become smaller in number recently, we continue to provide support to our town. Club members feel a special bond with each other, making it a pleasure to attend meetings. New members are welcomed and encouraged to become involved in club leadership.
Apart from Rotary, I am employed at Burrelles in Presque Isle and attend Easton Wesleyan Church. I am married to Dr. Carolina Merida-Copeland, have a 10-year old daughter named Isabella and own 3 American Eskimo Dogs.
Please consider attending one of our club meetings. We meet at 7:00 a.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (check this page before attending to see if there have been any adjustments to this schedule). We practice social distancing and masks are worn during meetings."
