Robert Sprague first joined the Caribou Rotary Club as an Honorary Member having been recognized for years of giving selflessly to the Nordic Ski program at Caribou High School. In addition to being the team’s coach for many years he assisted in the development of on campus ski trails, the construction of a Ski Center and later an expansion to the building that included additional restrooms and a commercial kitchen. As a Rotarian, Bob was an enthusiastic member, serving as club secretary, chairing the Rotary Youth Exchange Program and coordinating volunteers for the Caribou Soup Kitchen.
Curtis Richards has volunteered for over 16 years, grooming and maintaining the ski and snow shoe trails at the Caribou High School. He also has served as Head Coach for the Caribou Community School Ski Team and assistant Coach for the High School Ski Team when needed, along with serving as President of the Northern Skiers Club. The award recipients received a 1893 print of the City of Caribou. Also, the Club will contribute $1,000 to each of Robert and Curtis’ charity of choice.tion here









This summer, two of our local students will be participating in a short-term exchange with the countries of Finland and Germany. Featured in this photo and attending the Swedish Midsummer are three of our youth exchange students; Anna Thibodeau on the left with her exchange student far-right, Meri Halme from Finland and Victoria Leavitt in the middle, who arrived in Germany this week to begin her exchange with Pia Broghammer.
We wish our students all the best on their summer youth exchange adventure, and we look forward to hearing all about it upon their return.
Making the world a smaller place and bringing people of different cultures together, with Rotary Youth Exchange.
