Donations and Drips

Ok, two things here.
Serious and fun.

Serious:

Amanda Grondin, a student who works in the Women's Resource Center, is hoping that you will help out this holiday season. She is asking for donations for Family Crisis Services in Portland.

Family Crisis Services is an organization that helps victims of domestic abuse. They have a wish list of simple items that the women and children in their shelter could really use.

All you need to do is take a look at the list, see if there is anything you would be willing to contribute, and then drop it off at the Women’s Resource Center in the Student Center in Portland, Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm.

***Due to health and sanitary reasons, all items must be new, please!***

If you have questions, please email Amanda.grondin@maine.edu.

And now, a fun thing:

We work in an old farmhouse. Slowly but surely, the antique windows and doors are being replaced. Our former front door would swell like crazy when it rained or was humid in the least, and a few days ago, our door was replaced with a shiny new one that looks just like the old!

Well.

Today, it's raining.

...THROUGH the new door.

Good times, folks.
