Recreation
A collaborative proposal between MSAD #11 and the Recreation Department has yielded a $378,000 grant from the US Department of Education, Carol M. White Physical Education Program. The grant will fund physical education programming and equipment for both entities. This is a great example of successfully leveraging the attributes of each organization to produce a highly competitive collaborative initiative. Congrats to Ingrid and crew!
1% Tax Cap Initiative
Anne Davis has been playing an important leadership role in educating the public about the impacts on libraries/community services should the tax cap initiative pass. As part of that role, Anne will debate Phil Harriman of Tax Cap Yes! on October 29 at 12:30 p.m. live on Maine Public Radio, and which will then air on Maine Public Television that evening at 8 p.m. as part of the Election2004 coverage. Anne is strengthening the proud Gardiner tradition of high profile Library Directors with policy impact!
