Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 9th, at 12 p.m. at the Dog & Pony Restaurant, 4 Rodick Place, Bar Harbor.
I have some sad news to share that our beloved past member Gina Farnsworth passed away on April 3, 2025. Gina was the daughter of John W. and Alice E. (Thurlow) Smith. She was born August 29, 1929, in the small town of Lee, Maine. She graduated from Lee Academy, and her first job was as a telephone operator in Connecticut. She married Bion Farnsworth of Bar Harbor, Maine, on May 20, 1950 and moved to Hulls Cove, where Bion had a boat yard. Gina had five children and while they were growing up, she was the consummate housewife/mother. She was a Den Mother for many years for her only son’s troop as well as a co-leader of her daughter’s Y-Teen group. She later began working for the Bar Harbor Chamber of Commerce when it was basically a one-person office and continued to work with them for over 50 years. A member of the Church of Our Father in Hulls Cove, she held various positions, including Senior Warden and treasurer of the church’s fair committee for many years. Gina was also a member of the Bar Harbor American Legion Auxiliary for several years. Always a volunteer for the Bar Harbor YWCA, she worked on many projects, and she was selected as the YWCA of MDI Woman of the Year. Gina was also a member of the Bar Harbor/MDI Rotary Club, and she was one of the first women to receive the Paul Harris Fellowship. Friends are invited to call from 2-4 pm. Friday, April 11, 2025, at Jordan-Fernald, 1139 Main St., Mt. Desert. Memorial Services will be held in July 2025, at the Church of Our Father.
Please let me know if you have any news or announcements for future Bulletins.
Have a good week,
