Lincoln County Television & Media Center is non-profit, public access, community media for and about the citizens of Lincoln County, Maine

Speaking of community, have you been over to the fish ladders in Bristol and Damariscotta Mills yet? The annual early June alewives run is a celebration for fishing birds (like these seagulls), predator fish, future generations of alewives, the Damariscotta Lake watershed ecosystem, bait for fishermen, eye candy for photographers, and a delight for visitors.

All that bounty doesn't mean that things come easy. It's a lot like LCTV - when we work together, we can accomplish great things. (Like this lucky seagull in this short video.)

June 12 Fundraiser Concert Coming Right Up

Our June 12 fundraiser with A Brother's Revival is less than 2 weeks away. Have you ordered your tickets online or in person at Main Street Grocery? You'll save $5 off the day-of price. Gates open at 2pm for the 4pm show - more details below.

We're bowled over by the outpouring of support from our business sponsors: Ames True Value Hardware, Bangor Savings Bank, Elevation Station, LincolnHealth, Renys, the Cod Cove Inn, and new since last week, Morse Sauerkraut and Mid-coast Energy Systems. 

Please let them know you appreciate their support for LCTV and our services for our community. If you hurry, you can join in as a Concert Sponsor - just reach out to Lang Sheppard at Lang@LCTV.org. As thanks, you'll receive a pair of complementary tickets to both our June 12 and June 28 shows and other benefits. 

Citizen Access to Our Public Officials

It's another week of ensuring citizen access to local government - including one-on-one candidate conversations and municipal meetings. 

On Sunday night at 7:00pm, we’re immensely proud to offer a special show with Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows called “Defending Our Democracy.” Or watch right now. 

This Friday and Saturday, Marva Nesbit will bring us two more candidate conversations before the June 14 elections: Maine State Representative House District 48 candidate Tom Maroney (Friday at 7:00pm) and incumbent Representative Holly Stover (Saturday at 6:00pm). Both shows will be available for On Demand viewing this weekend on LCTV.org and our Facebook page. (Give us a follow if you haven't already.) 

This is in addition to our ongoing municipal meeting broadcasts each weekday at 4pm. See below for links to new meetings from Damariscotta, Newcastle, and Waldoboro, archived for On Demand anytime viewing at LCTV.org.

Keeping You In Touch with Community and Business Leaders

We're sending a big LCTV thank you to the fine folks at the Rotary Club of Damariscotta-Newcastle for the invite to join you yesterday morning. It was a fun way to start the day and share what we've been up to and plans for the future.

On Saturday, we air our monthly "What's Happening at the Y" check-in with our friends at the Central Lincoln County YMCA. Host Sally Farrell is doing a great job! Followed by a new Talkin' Town Talk with Dennis Hilton, president of Cheney Insurance. 

Sneak peek: next week we're starting a new bi-monthly Chamber Chat with our friends at the Boothbay Region Chamber of Commerce. 

Please reach out if you'd like us to meet with your organization, and talk about how we can work together.
