Hello membership, I hope you are all adjusting well to the start of the new term! I am very excited to be working in person and while my dog probably misses me a little extra, I am happy to have stepped out of my virtual office and into my *actual* office. I wanted to share with you all COE's goal for Maine to reach 10 $40 donations for the 40th anniversary of COE. So far, we have 3 of those donations! Here is the info they would like for me to share: COE has a special fund raising campaign to celebrate their 40th Anniversary. They are hoping for folks to donate to this campaign by September 30. This can be your annual donation to COE-just doing it early. Donate any amount but make sure it includes $40. So your donation could be $40, $140, $240, $540, $1040 or whatever you can afford. Each state has a goal of 10 individual donors! Thanks for helping out in any way that you can! If you are attending COE in person, maybe I'll see you there!
