Speaker: Diane Cyr of Biddeford Cultural and Historical Society
Diane's remarks centered on the formation of this interesting organization and their goals. Currently located at the J. Richard Martin Community Center, the team is looking for a permanent space and is fundraising right now. It is not purely a Franco-Americain organization -- as a matter of fact they have celebrated many local heritages including that of recent Iraqi arrivals, and a celebration of Maine's first mosque, which is located in Biddeford. The group also coordinates the Biddeford Hall of Fame event each year and many remarkable local people have been celebrated. (You can see the banners on Main Street). They also have a YouTube channel called Voices of Biddeford, with several interesting talks, please subscribe. FMI: www.biddefordculturalandheritagecenter.org
Learn more about BCHC and plan to attend their upcoming Open House on October 23 from 9AM-noon, see details here and consider making a contribution to help this local organization and their dedicated volunteers.
Next week is our last meeting at Biddeford Regional Center of Technology, before we move to Ricetta's starting the 20th. Our speaker will be Patrice Leary-Forrey, Director of Kids Free to Grow. Kim has volunteered to bring lunch. Please wear black & orange to celebrate Biddeford Schools, and all that Paulette and her team have done for us during our 3 months meeting at BRCOT. Let's close out strong with a good meeting!
