Greetings!
 With the kids back in school, leaves changing color and cooler temperatures at night, fall is one of my favorite seasons in Maine.
Here on campus, fall means we're busy getting ready for two major fundraisers in October. On October 14th, we will hold our traditional fall Lobster Lunch and on October 19th, T & B's Celebration Center will host our Passion for Fashion fundraiser. You can learn more about both of these events and how you can participate by reading the stories below.
This month, I also want to acknowledge our Friends organization for their time and effort to make the Lobster Roll Lunch possible. This team of volunteers is so important to us and I encourage you to learn more about what they do and see if you might like to be a part of the fun-loving group.
Sincerely,
Sharon Abrams, Executive Director
