MMW Annual Meeting
Saturday, May 1st at the
1812 Farm on Route 130 in Bristol Mills.
We have a very exciting program for you:
Nancy Griffin will be speaking in the morning about her new book "Maine 101." Those of you who haven't seen Nancy in a while will enjoy catching up with her; those of you who have yet to meet Nancy are in for a treat.
Then in the afternoon Carol Brightman will be our featured speaker. Carol is known for her non-fiction (“Writing Dangerously: Mary McCarthy and her World,” “Total Insecurity: the Myth of American Omnipotence,” and “Sweet Chaos: The Grateful Dead's American Adventure”) but she is now venturing into fiction. This should make for an interesting conversation.
The general public is invited to the afternoon feature, so tell all your friends to come! The public will be asked to make a donation to the Scholarship Fund as the price of admission, $10 suggested.

DIRECTIONS: Take Route 1 to Damariscotta. From the South, get off at the Newcastle/Damariscotta exit and wind your way into downtown Damariscotta. From the North, get off at the Business Route 1 exit and head into town. At the light at the top of the hill in the middle of Damariscotta, next to the big white church (Baptist) and opposite the Chapman Hall House (natural shingle Cape) turn South on Route 129/130. When the road branches, bear LEFT. This is Route 130 and about 6 more miles will take you into picturesque Bristol Mills. Speed limit 30 mph. You will pass the mill pond on your left, then the Town Office on your left opposite the Bristol Diner. As you come up the hill leaving the village, put on your turn signal as the 1812 Farm is on the top of the hill on your right. The parking area is just past the barn where the meeting will be held. Please remember to leave the spaces nearest the barn for those less nimble drivers,
