Greetings!
June has been a busy month for us. Last week, we benefited from an amazing fundraiser called "Italiaoutdoors Night at The Homestead." It featured gourmet food with paired wines, as well as a silent auction that raised money for the agency's summer camp scholarship program. The event was an enormous success and raised over $1,200. Most recently, we received a donation of over $1,300 worth of copper wire from Oxford Networks. The wire will be used in creative art projects and in art therapy sessions. An unexpected benefit was the excitement from the kids when they saw the huge bucket truck from Oxford Networks arrive. There's something kids just love about trucks! On behalf of the agency, thank you to everyone involved in the "Italiaoutdoors Night" fundraiser and the Oxford Networks donation. Have a safe and happy 4th of July! Sincerely,
|

Summer has finally arrived! It's great to see all
the kids outside on our campus enjoying fun and games with one another.
WHAT's NEW...
At The Maine Children's Home for Little Wanderers in Waterville, a little wire can go a long way. On Monday,
June 20, Oxford Networks donated 100 feet of copper wire valued at $1,300. The wire, typically used on telephone poles, was requested by the agency for creative art projects for the 2- to 5-year olds at The Children's Place, students at the Teen Parent School Program, and clients in art therapy counseling
