Dear Editor:

All of us at The Community Center, Meadow Mall, Boothbay Harbor would like to welcome the men and women who have come from around the world to work in our area for the summer months.

We have unlimited WiFi and opportunities to play Cribbage and Dominoes, read in a quiet place, sit and write letters home, and get a cup of coffee and wicked good snacks! There are computers to use, an electronic piano to noodle around on, lots of good books and a host of interesting local people to meet and talk to. The puzzle table is always busy with challenging jigsaw puzzles and we have a large supply of board games one may use.

Our regular hours are 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Friday except in July and August when we will close at 2 p.m. each day. Additionally, we are open from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Fridays for Game Night. We would remind everyone to watch for the News & Notes column in the Register each week for the calendar of classes and events.

In particular, we want to offer to help with English language skills—we are great talkers and have lots of wonderful life stories to tell. We would enjoy hearing your stories, as well. One note of caution, however. We may send you home with a Maine accent.
