It was great to see people’s faces, hear their questions and comments, and feel the energy they brought to our first statewide, virtual meeting on April 23. If you weren’t able to attend, below you’ll find some notes and links from the meeting.
We had 43 participants, joining from Houlton to Bridgton to Deer Isle to Falmouth, including several Maine AllCare board members and volunteers. Here are some brief notes from the meeting.
Since there was general agreement that a quarterly statewide meeting, held virtually, would be beneficial, we’re planning the next one for Sunday, July 16, 4-5:30 pm. More details to come. It will be the middle of the summer (!) but we hope you can join.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions, ideas, or comments: info@maineallcare.org.
