Just as we have closed the Pantry for another season, it is time to begin its replenishment. We are fortunate to have been designated a beneficiary of the David R. Harding Memorial Golf Tournament this year And, Touch-a-Truck, has once again designated us to benefit from that event. This is an important way for us to get a start on building up our funds for next season. I need your help once again!
Touch-a-Truck Event, Saturday, May 11, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Trenton, Gateway Center Drive (across from P&J's Farm Market on Rt. 102 Suggested donation ($5/person $20/family, Infants free) will benefit Harbor House Children's Center and the Westside Food Pantry. Come check out TONS of vehicles: Construction Vehicles, Rescue Vehicles, Fire Trucks, Buses & MORE! Smokey the Bear & Sparky the Fire Dog will visit! Beverages & Treats available for purchase. Live broadcast by Star 97.7.
Golf Tournament: Tuesday, June 4, Kebo Golf Club, Bar Harbor. The Pantry needs to supply volunteers to work in a variety of ways throughout the day (8 AM -- 6:30 PM). Duties include: set-up, registration, hole supervision, auction/raffle facilitation, evening dinner support, and clean up. Your schedule and duties will be based on your availability and preferences or restrictions. You can help out all day, half a day, or the hours that you specify. It is important that the Pantry supply volunteers to help alongside the Bar Harbor Bank and Trust employees and the Bar Harbor Food Pantry volunteers. In other words, we need to do as much as we can to help make this day succeed! I plan to be there all day, and I hope that you will join me for all or some of the day.

Saying Farewell to the Lanes
On Saturday, May 18th, we will gather with Episcopalians, people of all faiths, and people of no defined faith, to celebrate a festive Eucharist with Bishop Stephen T. Lane, 9th Bishop of Maine on the occasion of his retirement.
Bishop Lane has served the Diocese and the wider Episcopal Church since 2008 and, together with his wife Gretchen, will be returning to Rochester, NY next month. This will be the bishop's final sermon in the Cathedral and we hope you will help us honor him with your presence and your best wishes. Immediately after the service there will be a casual reception in the upper parish hall. We will be unveiling Bishop Lane's official portrait at that time.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, the 18th.
Note: please…no gifts, however if so inclined, the Lanes have indicated donations to Camp Bishopswood would be welcome.
