AUBURN — David Nealley will be guest speaker for the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club meeting from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, July 6, at the Village Inn.

Nealley was born in Bangor in 1961 and graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1984. Upon graduation, he became a stock broker and spent eight years in the financial services industry.

Years later, in an effort to resurrect an old family business, Nealley spent another eight years as the general manger of Snow & Nealley Co., manufacturer of axes and garden tools. In this position, he received a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Blue Chip Award for his turn-around of the business, and an article was published in Entrepreneur and Forbes magazines for his niche marketing expertise.

Nealley also worked on a successful referendum initiative for Bangor Historic Track, resulting in one of the largest economic developments in Maine, Hollywood Casino. Due to his varied work experience, he has traveled extensively.

He is serving his fourth term on the Bangor City Council and he has worked with the legislature and the governor to establish Maine Seniors Day. As publisher of Maine Seniors magazine, Nealley has a refreshing outlook on Maine’s senior population.

Lunch is available for $14 at the restaurant, 165 High St. Reservations are not required.
