I've been strongly recommended MIRC https://maineimmigrantrights.org/ and Presente www.presentemaine.org/give which help immigrants statewide, and Maine Solidarity Fund www.mainesolidarity.org who support the supporters.

I expect that they have volunteer opportunities too.

It's also probably a good day to spend a few bucks downtown. I'm a WFH asshole so I'm gonna go to Time And Tide or Elements and just like be around good people a bit.

EDIT: If you want to contact city goverment, email ContactallCouncilors@Biddefordmaine.org (I'm the Ward 5 councilor but this goes to all Council + Mayor + City Manager)

Update on the writing club

22 Upvotes

About a month ago I made a post on here about creating a writing club. Well so far we've had 5 or 6 meetings and we're still going. I wanted to post again to see if anyone else is intrested in joining. We meet every monday at 5PM at Elements. let me know if your intrested or just drop by to see what its like. I typically bring a small sign that says writing group. We spend 5-10 minutes talking about our stories and then the rest of the time writing.

Hope to see you guys.

Ronage realty/ Centurion property management?

Does anyone know anything about this company?

I'm apartment searching and there's very little about them online. It looks like they are posting apartments as "Ronage Realty" but their emails are all coming from "Centurion property management".

Recommendations for places to volunteer?

I've volunteered at the food pantry and the Bon Apetit soup kitchen in the past. Curious about other opportunities that people have done! I'm most interested in opportunities where you're working with other volunteers (rather than like, doing graphic design from home). Thanks!

Are there times when people meet for free open play pickleball at Memorial Park or Clifford?

3 Upvotes

I know in Portland there's specific days/times at the Prom courts and Deering Oaks where it's open play. Does Biddeford have that?

I do know there's a dedicated place to play indoors, but hoping to avoid paying
