Today we celebrated the accomplishments of 30 individuals at our 23rd Remember ME Photography & Recognition Ceremony. Their life stories of perseverance, sacrifice, community service, military accolades and more…were truly remarkable. Honorees were presented with Lifetime Achievement Awards and given their individual photography exhibit. We thank Maine's most storied and trusted journalist, Don Carrigan, our special guest speaker.
