Dear Subscribers,
As we were about to hit publish on this week's newsletter, we received word that due to Hurricane Lee, many of the BNAM Reunion Weekend festivities have been postponed until September 2024. But it's not all bad news!
They plan to hold their Grand Opening Ceremony as scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday followed by a “Parking Lot Party” featuring a food and cash bar by Cook’s Lobster & Ale House, and Flight Deck Brewing beer starting at 2:00 p.m.
Unfortunately they are postponing all of Saturday’s reunion events including the Lobster Bake Banquet. With their tent unable to safely manage the forecasted winds and no available inside alternative for the size of the event, the safe and responsible decision was to reschedule for next September. The BNAM is asking that registrants consider donating their fees but are also offering refunds as requested.
We've had a front row seat to the renovation of the BNAM - if you haven't had a chance to see it, take a peek at the rendering below and in-person the next time you're on the Landing!
Congratulations to the entire BNAM team, we hope you are able to enjoy Friday and laugh at Hurricane Lee someday :)

MARC Progress Photos
Chapter 2: taken on 9/12/23
OK...we know...it doesn't look that different from two weeks ago (except the blue sky has been replaced by the ever-present-summer-of-2023 cloud cover). But we're excited to compile these progress photos and to put them together one day to see just how far the MARC has come.

“I am committed to helping MCHPP continue operating flexible, accessible, low-barrier programming for years to come,” Chatalbash said in a statement.
The Brunswick-based program, which has a staff of 18 and more than 700 volunteers, operates a food pantry and soup kitchen on Tenney Way. It also runs pantries and delivery services in several other Midcoast communities, including schools.
