In anticipation of possible snow overnight in Lewiston/Auburn, I wanted to remind everyone that we will have our meetings unless school is canceled in the town where we meet. So tomorrow (1/6) if Lewiston Schools are canceled, our meeting is canceled.

Hopefully the snow doesn't impede us in the weeks to come and we can all have awesome meetings this year!

Join Kim and Stephen for a live, experiential workshop blending mindset, reflection, and body-based practices to help you enter the New Year feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded.

The Lewiston/Auburn chapter had an amazing time volunteering at the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society this afternoon!! Volunteer Coordinator Sandy was awesome!

Even if you only have 10 minutes to pet cats or walk a dog, every minute is helpful!

🎄 It’s the season of giving! 🎄

Ken and the GAHS team were able to give our thanks to Tom Caron when he stoped by recently with a donation of dog food and treats - but we need to also shout out his group of friends with the Local BIZness Network for supporting our animals all season long!

This thoughtful organization not only encouraged donations to the GAHS, but several of their members chose to help sponsor adoption fees for some of our long term residents, too!

Please join us in also thanking:

Jonathan Morse and Seth York of Companion Insurance

Dan Reed of Dan Reed Marketing

Sean Banks of Maine Community Bank

Kryston Lemay of Lake Auburn Legal and Accounting

Amber Pruitt of Lunar Property Management

We are grateful to count the group as one of our amazing community partners!

Here are the long term residents of Greater Androscoggin Humane Society we are looking for sponsors to cover their adoption fees at Thursday's event!

Please consider covering the fee to make it easier for these amazing pets to find their furrrever home!

If any of these beauties seem like a good fit for your family or someone you know, they can meet the special pet over at the Society on Strawberry Ave in Lewiston! You can also fill out an adoption application at https://gahumane.org/adopt/
