Let’s hear it for the power of teamwork. Our 27th Annual TV Auction grossed just over $51,000 if everyone pays for the items they bid on during the auction. It is always nice when a plan comes together and it is not an accident that our auction is successful each year.
I was counting and over half of our club was at the auction working in some capacity yesterday. That is absolutely awesome and I want to thank everyone who showed up and worked.
At the outset I have to thank Jackson for chairing the event. For all those who have chaired it, you always wonder what is going to go wrong, but due to many incredibly dedicated and committed people, the event succeeds year after year. I talked to the Time Warner people and they assure us that we are the poster child of the well run auction. They do a few other TV auctions around the state but ours is by far the best run, most fun and successful TV auction that they have seen. They beg other organizations to use our model though apparently none do.
I have to also thank Julie Villemaire who, as I am typing this, is still doing Pick and Pay at the Community Center. Her commitment to the whole process is really unbelievable and it is her organizational skills that make the whole thing happen. She keeps the inventory straight; has a system to makes check out as smooth as possible; and organizes the items so that we seldom, if ever, lose anything. We all owe Julie a huge round of applause at our next meeting.
Lucie Kay and group made sure we were well fed all day. Laurie Jo and CJ tore out most of their hair when our phone operators failed to show up or failed to show up on time, but thanks to Rotarians stepping up our phone lines remained open and we did not really miss a beat.
Three unsung heroes of the auction are Ken Farley, Rollie Eon and Karen Chasse. Ken prepares the script every year which is a huge amount of work. Furthermore, this year Ken had to use his contacts to make sure that we were live streaming on the internet when that connection was not made before the auction started. Rollie was our floor director all day keeping us on time and on task. Trust me, without him we would not come close to finishing the auction on time. Karen made sure that the event was publicized and that the Courier ad was clear and accurate. All three people deserve our thanks.
Our on air people make the auction fun and keep it moving. In addition all of the Rotarians who set up or tore down the auction, you are truly a well-oiled machine.
I also want to thank some of our newer Rotarians who took the time to work at the auction. Conrad Welzel and Don Pilon displayed our inventory all day and we all know it is all about the presentation. Sabine McElrath and Naomme Paris helped out. I believe Sabine did a stint on the phones which is never easy and Naomme was making those follow up calls to make sure the bids were real. Heather McLean ran bids for a good part of the day despite the impact that a TV camera can have on one’s appearance! Jeremy Ray jumped in as a new auctioneer which is a tough job, and if you don’t believe me try it. Paulette Bonneau was on the phones as well as starting in one of our videos.
I also have to thank the tabulation crew from our club. Jim McAllister, Rob Moody, Brian Dallaire and Chuck Hennessey worked to help give us the fastest board summaries ever. A special thanks to George Wandel who is not in the club anymore but he showed up with his nephew to again help with tabulation even though George really wasn’t feeling well. It is that kind of dedication that makes the auction work. Brian also assisted with checkout which helped when the lines got long.
At the end of the day, it is clear that our club does well more than its share in making the auction a success. Thanks to all of your efforts, big and small, because it is the sum of all of those parts that raises such big money to support all that we do as a club.
Time to start planning for the 28th annual auction. Bernice, what is taking you so long to get started?

We are proud to announce that Volunteers of America Northern New England has received funding that will allow us to build our Cabin in the Woods program. It's the first project of its kind in the state of Maine, and the only program in Maine that will assist homeless male and female veterans, as well as their families. We will be constructing 21 energy-efficient, ADA accessible residential cabins (16 one bedroom and 5 two bedroom), with special attention to maintaining a rustic, wooded, private setting for each. Also on site will be a two bedroom cabin for office and community space. - See more at: http://www.voanne.org/cabin-in-the-woods#sthash.FHIkfyF8.dpuf
Behavioral Health Services:
We serve individuals who are 18 years or older and who have been diagnosed with persistent mental illness or co-occurring conditions. Our programs welcome people whose behaviors have frustrated the best efforts of other care givers. We use evidence-based programming to foster new thinking, attitudes and behaviors that lead to positive personal changes, independence, maturity and self-responsibility. - See more at: http://www.voanne.org/behavioral-health#sthash.5NPoJHaO.dpuf
A team of trained and caring staff members at each residence helps residents learn to cope with the challenges of everyday living by developing daily living skills, maintaining counseling, obtaining education regarding mental illness, improving, and learning how to manage symptoms, with an individual rehabilitation and treatment plan. For many of these individuals, it is a major step to greater independence. - See more at: http://www.voanne.org/behavioral-health#sthash.5NPoJHaO.dpuf
Camp Postcard:
Summer camp for Maine Boys and Girls which serves 150 children annually.
Camp POSTCARD is FREE! There is no charge for the week long summer camp program for 5th and 6th grade boys and girls. Kids from all over the state are chosen to attend. Every year, we ask for support to help raise the funds needed to provide this one-of-a-kind experience for kids – most of whom have never been to summer camp. Camp POSTCARD is UNIQUE! All of the camp counselors are volunteers from Maine's Law Enforcement community. These dedicated men and women give their time to provide positive role models and promote the understanding that local law enforcement officers are there to help. Camp POSTCARD is FUN! Campers experience new challenges – rock wall climb, swimming, boating, arts & crafts and all kinds of outdoors sporting activities. The camp's Demo Day (June 22, 2016) includes demonstrations of healthy snack making, military equipment, trained police K-9 dogs, wilderness survival skills, karate, fire prevention, a "touch tank" of live marine creatures, an ice cream truck, face painting and more. Science Day offers a range of educational science projects for campers, including several "stations" for them to explore and experience in groups. Camp POSTCARD is a long-term partnership between the Maine Sheriffs' Association, the Maine D.A.R.E.® Officers Association, and Volunteers of America. Qualified officers are invited to become volunteer leaders at camp. Contact us for more information. - See more at: http://www.voanne.org/camp-postcard#sthash.UMUjOeZ9.dpuf

Cabin in the Woods
Cabin in the Woods is an innovative housing program for homeless veterans being built on 11 wooded acres surrounding TOGUS.
Eight thousand Maine veterans live in poverty. One in ten is homeless. These statistics need to change. We have been working tirelessly to find ways to shelter and care for the men and women who have served our country.
We are proud to announce that Volunteers of America Northern New England has received funding that will allow us to build our Cabin in the Woods program. It's the first project of its kind in the state of Maine, and the only program in Maine that will assist homeless male and female veterans, as well as their families.
We will be constructing 21 energy-efficient, ADA accessible residential cabins (16 one bedroom and 5 two bedroom), with special attention to maintaining a rustic, wooded, private setting for each. Also on site will be a two bedroom cabin for office and community space.
With an emphasis on family reunification and employment, Cabin in the Woods will work with many local, regional, state and federal agencies to meet the needs of veterans and their families.
The $4.2 million development cost of the project will be funded primarily by Maine Housing Tax Credit Allocation. Our work continues with Maine Housing to finalize the timeline and construction documents.We have partnered with the Veterans Administration to secure a 75 year lease on the land.
We are tremendously excited to be bringing this program to fruition, with so much support along the way.
Our Current Programs
Volunteers of America Northern New England operates two successful programs for homeless veterans in the Saco/Biddeford area.
The Arthur B. Huot House provides 10 efficiency apartments for Veterans who are homeless. The program, which is the only co-ed Veterans Transitional Living Program in Maine, provides Veterans with stable housing and additional services to help them transition back into the community and All the Way Home™. Named in honor of the late U.S. Navy Veteran Arthur "Skip" Huot, the program is operated in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Maine State Housing. Arthur B. Huot believed that "It's the day by day acts of kindness that changes the world" and that we should help our Veterans as a community..
The Veterans Career House provides safe supportive transitional housing and support services to male Veterans who are homeless. Our evidence-based programming helps Veterans gain stability and life skills to re-enter their community and the work force. This eight-room facility is in a rural setting and offers private or semi-private rooms with shared living, dining, kitchen, recreation, and bathroom areas. Heat, laundry, electricity, and hot water are included.

More about VOA nationally:
Volunteers of America was founded in 1896 by social reformers Ballington and Maud Booth. They envisioned a movement dedicated to “reaching and uplifting” the American people. On behalf of the organization, the Booths pledged to “go wherever we are needed, and do whatever comes to hand.” That declaration continues to guide Volunteers of America’s outreach efforts today.
The Early 1900s
In turn-of-the-century America, there was no shortage of work to do. The Volunteers moved into tenement districts to care for people in poverty. They organized day nurseries and summer camps, provided housing for single men and women, and established the nation's first system of halfway houses for released prisoners.
The Depression
The Great Depression of the 1930s stretched the nation's private social welfare system almost to the breaking point. Volunteers of America mobilized to assist the millions of people who were unemployed, hungry and homeless. Relief efforts included employment bureaus, wood yards, soup kitchens and "Penny Pantries" where every food item cost one cent.
Wartime
Volunteers of America served proudly on the home front during both world wars. The group operated canteens, overnight lodging and Sunday breakfasts for soldiers and sailors on leave. Affordable housing and child care were provided for defense industry workers. Further, Volunteers of America spearheaded community salvage drives during World War II, collecting millions of pounds of scrap metal, rubber and fiber for the war effort.
The 1960s
Our special mission in housing dates to our organization's founding. Volunteers of America helped accelerate real estate development during the 1960s by taking part in numerous federal housing programs. Since 1968, Volunteers of America has developed over 300 affordable housing complexes in more than 30 states.
The 1970s
In the 1970s, the organization emerged as a major provider of professional long-term nursing care. Today, Volunteers of America not only offers home health care and related services, but owns and operates several nursing facilities, and assisted and independent living residences.
Today
Now in our second century of service, Volunteers of America is one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive human services organizations, touching the lives of more than 2 million people each year in hundreds of communities across the United States.
