Dear Subscribers,
Brittany is globetrotting, so it's a Cory edition this week.
This does give me an opportunity to do two things:
- Brittany is outstanding and she does a heck of a job with these
e-newsletters, and I just want you all to know how much we appreciate her here at the chamber. To give us staff time every week, while also running her own business on Brunswick Landing is a lot, and she makes us all look good. If you love these newsletters, I encourage you to stop by Spark Cycling Studio, or drop her an e-mail, and let her know how much you appreciate them. I know I can run for three weeks on a compliment, and I bet she can too.
- I know it's not on Brunswick Landing, but our Chamber After Hours tonight is co-sponsored by Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program who is very much on Brunswick Landing. If you want to come out and support, meet us at The Brunswick Hotel as we will be inside Noble Kitchen +Bar mingling tonight (Wednesday, August 21) from 5PM to 7PM. It's a no-pressure invite- just stop by an have a drink. If you want details, they can be found here, but again, just come on by.
Below leads off with a Block Party recap, followed by an announcement of a new September event, and a few other autumn events to get in your calendar including the MRRA Annual Awards night!
Check it out,
Cory King
BBRC Executive Director

The Landing Block Party and Great State of Maine Air Show Recap | |
A hot and humid day led to an arguably perfect evening for the 3rd Annual Landing Block Party last Friday night. The event was a kickoff to the Great State of Maine Air Show and what a time was had! With food trucks, a bounce house thanks to the Landing YMCA, drinks of all kinds from Wild Oats and Flight Deck, kids activities, live music, and a glorious sunset - incredible! Many of the Thunderbird pilots and support team were on hand to chat, take pictures, and generally hang out with folks who had come out. We can't wait for next year! | |
Saturday and Sunday's weather wasn't quite as good as we've come to expect this summer but rainy mornings turned into nice afternoons when crowds were treated to a fantastic show. While locals could hear and see all of the practice rounds on Thursday and Friday, there isn't anything quite like being on the tarmac for the real thing. The Times Record has a full recap complete with some incredible images! |

On Thursday, October 10, 2024, we will be holding MRRA’s 15th Annual Board of Directors Meeting and Awards Dinner at Daggett Lounge, Bowdoin College from 4:00pm – 7:00pm. We are writing to ask for your support to help sponsor the event. Would you consider being a sponsor?
Your support would greatly assist in the success of our event. This year we have three tier levels for sponsorship; however, as of this date only tiers 2 and 3 are available. (Please see the attached sponsorship form for more details).
.
This event offers a great opportunity for our guests to have an enjoyable evening networking with other professionals. We are inviting our Brunswick Landing businesses, property owners, consultants, contractors, local business leaders and government officials, and other strategic partners and stakeholders – many of whom you already know. We are also inviting all our employees to the event.
We hope that you will view this as an opportunity to support the success of our redevelopment effort, and to have your organization stand out as a community leader.
