⇒Afternoon Music-the last of this season. PROGRAM CANCELED
Kathleen McGee started singing at 5, and professionally since 14. Along with originals, Kathleen loves to find nuggets of music by new artists and putting new spins on older songs. She plays an eclectic blend of blues, indie, alternative, folk and even a bit of pop and rock. Kathleen now performs mostly around Midcoast Maine both as a solo artist and singing backup harmonies for some great local musicians. Sponsored by Aging in Wayne

⇒Meet a Maine Author-Earle Shuttleworth, Jr.
Earle served as the director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission for four decades and as Maine’s state historian since 2004.
More than 35,000 men and women across the state joined the armed forces in 1917–1918 to fight in aid of America’s European allies against Germany. Mainers also provided vital support to the United States and the Allies through war-related Industries, like shipbuilding, munitions, textiles, and agriculture, while purchasing more than $100 million in war bonds and donating bandages, books, and other comforts of home to the troops. The war may have been “over there,” but its effects were found throughout the state of Maine.
