Portland Press Herald 2023 The Year in Photos
“The best photojournalists carefully observe the world. They notice authentic details and bring them to us in ways we are unable to forget. Photographs can pinpoint what we have in common, what is worth our investment, our hope, our struggle, and our fight.”
Join us for an opening reception with light refreshments on Tuesday, July 2, 5:00-6:30 PM
Earth Day Celebration on Tuesday, April 16 at 5:30 PM
Join your three local land trusts for a climate presentation celebrating Earth Day! As climate change and its harmful effects accelerate, so does the urgency for effective climate action. Learn how various climate policy solutions stabilize the climate and impact sustainability, justice, trade, energy, and income disparity. This interactive climate policy workshop uses MIT Sloan School’s EN-ROADS Climate Policy Simulator to explore our current climate trajectory, how recent legislation has improved our long-term outlook, and how Maine is uniquely positioned to advocate for a stabilized climate and a livable future. Peter Dugas is an EN-ROADS Climate Ambassador, Maine Sunday Telegram Source Award Winner, and a long-time advocate for finding climate change solutions. Peter is the Maine State Coordinator for Citizens Climate Lobby, a nonpartisan grassroots organization focused on practical and equitable climate solutions. He serves as the liaison to the office of Senator Angus King (ME-I). Light refreshments will be served.

This will be a Zoom presentation moderated by Mary-Lou Boucouvalas, Library Director.
For anyone new to this very popular monthly event, Lani and Betsy choose the pair of wines prior to the event. Each time, we “experience” wines from a specific country or new varietal. All participants are encouraged to purchase the month’s wines from Maine & Vine (Kings Wharfe, Ocean Ave) or Wine House on Main (Kennebunk).
