Dear MEEOA Community, The 2019 MEEOA Conference is right around the corner and now is the time to start planning your donations/contributions to the annual MEEOA auction! The Maine Educational Opportunity Association's 36th Annual Conference will take place on January 7-8, 2019, at the Black Bear Inn in Orono, Maine. Details are available at: www.meeoa.org We are soliciting items for our auction, which is held during the Conference. All proceeds support MEEOA's advocacy work for Maine's TRIO Programs and students. TRIO programs are located throughout the state, including several grants at UMF that serve students in the Sugarloaf area. If you have an item to donate, please contact Rusty Brown at [log in to unmask] or 207-581-3714. [image: 2019 MEEOA Conference Logo.png] Rusty R.
