Announcements

Lee Hansen said we were just shy of $20,000 worth of donations for this week's televised auction, which could net a possible $15,000 - $16,000. He asked that everyone call their friends and acquaintances to remind them about the auction. It will be televised in Kennebunk this year. He also reminded everyone not to park by the gates where the returning Time Warner trucks park.

Wheels Around Us - John Kreie still needs a grill and volunteers for Sunday, May 23 at the Harbor Park Barbeque for the Wells PTSA. It will be from 10 a.m. to 2-3 p.m.

Dennis Thayer will take Lee Hansen's place as a greeter at next week's assembly meeting.

Dates to Remember

Last week's Speaker

Jodi Bissonnette, Director of the York County Food Rescue Program, has been in the food rescue business for 13 years.  She explained that food rescue is the practice of safely retrieving food that would otherwise go to waste and distributing it to those in need. Jodi enthusiastically explained the process by which the food is collected, inspected and redistributed to 45 York County food pantries and meal programs from Scarborough to Kittery. Last year 2.2 million pounds of food was provided, 70,887 people were served, and 62,127 soup kitchens were supported. The operation is located at 199 Jagger Mill Road in Sanford, but they are looking for new warehouse space. There is one part-time employee who works 20 hours weekly and 50 volunteers. Both Bob Bohlmann, Maine State Emergency Services, and Russ Grethe, Wells Food Pantry, praised Jodi for her exceptional response in emergencies and to the food pantries in the area.
