NORTHEAST HARBOR, ME — Captain Michael Johnson sent this photo with a note: “I always think of the Sunbeam as being a decent sized vessel, but she is dwarfed by Front Street Shipyard’s lift.”
The Sunbeam is having a routine major refit. It is scheduled to be back in Mission service by Christmas 2019.
Meanwhile, the Sunbeam crew will keep up their island work aboard the new Moonbeam and on airplanes.

CHERRYFIELD, ME — Mission Service Program Director Wendy Harrington sends a note and news of the arrival of two ladies taking part in Down East magazine’s The Great Maine Scavenger Hunt.
“Cathy Ames and Valerie Hill were awesome helpers and wowed our diners with four homemade pies and a big pot of baked beans,” writes Wendy Harrington.
The Hunt’s purpose is to send “Down East readers out to explore all 35,385 square miles of Maine — from mountains to sea, from potato fields to city streets — in pursuit of the best Maine summer ever.”
One item on the Hunt’s list is to be at a “Community Supper in Cherryfield.” What better than our Downeast Campus’s “Table of Plenty” Community Supper?

Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School volunteers with Housing Rehabilitation Program Manager Scott Shaw
CHERRYFIELD, ME — Housing Rehabilitation Program Manager Scott Shaw sent this photo of “a new wheel chair ramp built by the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School on the Community Center this past week/weekend!”
What a fantastic addition to the Weald Bethel Community Center, making it easier than ever for people relying on wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers — or who have difficulty using stairs — to get in-and-out of the Community Center and enjoy the events.
Thank you, Assabet School volunteers.
