Affiliate News
There are many exciting things happening at LV of Mid-Coast Maine.

The numbers in our Learners' Book Club have literally doubled in the past few weeks. We now have 10 adults who are reading, writing and sharing their ideas about the workbook they are currently reading.

The Learners' Theater is also making great strides in working on the art of theater and telling their stories. We have given two public performances, so far. We are looking forward to having lots more fun and telling the world ( or at least our piece of it) about how wonderful and hard the process of learning can be!

Overall, the student caseload has exploded in the last few weeks. We have more and more students who have a unique set of needs. If you are interested in helping and you have had LV training, please get in touch with Beth as soon as possible.
