We’re happy to announce that new summer resident Dan Downing will be joining us on Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 10 a.m. to discuss simple approaches to solving personal technology issues. He’ll also take questions from the group on phones, computers, Wi-Fi, and anything tech-related. Dan is a retired software engineer who ran his own consulting businesses and is now a Florida-to-Maine snowbird.

The Community Center is organizing a field trip to the Frances Perkins National Monument, located at 478 River Road, Newcastle, on Thursday, Sept. 18. The group will depart from the Community Center at 10 a.m. Join us as we explore the extraordinary life and contributions of Frances Perkins, the first woman appointed to a U.S. presidential cabinet. She served as the fourth U.S. Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945—the longest tenure in the position’s history. Spots are limited—reserve yours today by calling the Community Center at (207) 633-9876!

The Community Center will be hosting our State Representative, Holly Stover, who will speak about issues that concern you and our community. She’ll share updates on what’s happening in the legislature and how it could directly affect you. Stay tuned for the date and time she’ll be joining us.
