News from our Board of Directors
Yesterday, we had the privilege of hosting Senator Angus King! We got a presentation of the River Park, Building Better Beginnings, and spinning mill project. We also got to tour the spinning mill and saw all the progress that has happened so far!
Special thanks to Brickyard Hollow for hosting us for lunch, our very own Samuel Hight for assisting our Executive Director with organizing the day, and Bigelow Brewing Company for welcoming us in to see the progress!
