Dear Candidate:

The Library in East Blue Hill invites you to join us for one of our weekly Saturday morning coffee hours where the people of East Blue Hill Village, friends, relatives and visitors from all parts of Maine join us to enjoy the congeniality of this community.

This year the election promises to be a highly robust competition; voters want to hear positions and ideas on government directly from you. We know that you are on the road during this season, taking in the voices of the electorate. Conversations here are always friendly and informal with no formal speeches planned.

Because it would be difficult for all candidates to attend on a specific date, we hope you will find at least one Saturday to show up. There is no need to confirm that you are coming, but if you plan to be here you can send a message to EastBlueHillLibrary@gmail.com. We will let the community know you are coming on that date. If you can just drop in at the last minute, that works, too.

So, please join us at one of our coffee-hour “schmoozes,” on any Saturday between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at the East Blue Hill Public Library, 9 Curtis Cove Rd., East Blue Hill, ME. We are adjacent to Webber’s Boat Yard.

For specific questions about this event, send an email to EastBlueHillLibrary@gmail.com. You can also leave me a message on the East Blue Hill Library phone 207-374-5577 with a call-back number. I will return your call within 48 hours.

Sincerely,

Lynda Moulton

East Blue Hill Library Board of Trustees.
