Boothbay-Wiscasset Regional Adult Education recently launched The Makeshift, an e-newsletter to replace the winter/spring print brochure. The program moved to a school-year catalog of courses, but wants to make sure the community knows about spring offerings.

“Print material often gets recycled,” Leonard said. “The Makeshift is intended to be a friendly, digital reminder to people who subscribe about upcoming classes and program news.” Sign up to be on the list. and don’t miss a thing.
