Jim Bird<\/a> if you’d like to help out by staffing our information table.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The Boardwalk campaign group will be meeting next week. \u00a0The main purpose of the meeting is to map out our campaign to raise funds to finish reconstruction of the Boardwalk. \u00a0As of today we need to raise $46,000 to get to the half way point in reconstructing the Boardwalk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The next 48 boardwalk sections from Great Northern Docks (designed and built by UMaine alumni Steve Merriam) will be arriving at the end of March\/early April. \u00a0We have about 40 old sections to take out and then we start putting in 96 new sections. \u00a0We learned much about installing new sections last year so installing these sections should not take as long as last year. \u00a0We will be sending out a call for volunteers sometime in the first part of April to help (weather dependent).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Boardwalk has joined the Bangor Chamber of Commerce. \u00a0We did this so that we can start meeting Bangor area business owners\/leaders that would be willing to help us in our fundraising efforts. \u00a0Tracy Willette is the main contact but all management committee members are on the Chamber mailing list.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are looking into developing a safety plan for the Boardwalk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have updated the Boardwalk case statement for our fundraising efforts. \u00a0Jim Bird will bring copies to the potluck social on 3\/14.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have new t-shirts with the campaign logo (the banner we use at the cabin) designed by former Orono Land Trust volunteer Katy Hackelroad. \u00a0They look really good. \u00a0We’ll have the first batch available for purchase at the potluck social on 3\/14.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We will have a yard sale this year but in July, not June. \u00a0More later.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since Jim Bird retired at the end of December (congrats Jim) he’s been hard at work organizing the Boardwalk files, which he hopes to complete in the next couple months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We hope to see you all on\u00a0March 14th at 6:30pm\u00a0at the Birch Street School Senior Center in Orono.<\/p>\n
