Dear Cumberland Citizens,
Welcome to the
new edition of the Cumberland Crier. I will be trying to put the most
important Town news as a priority, followed by agendas and as much local
information as can fit. If you do not see your information in
this letter, I will try to get it in the next edition. I will do my
best to accommodate everyone. If you have any community event that
you would like to submit for this newsletter, please email todonnell@cumberlandmaine.com
Have a
wonderful weekend, and thank you for subscribing.
