Community
Opportunity:
Gatekeeper Training
(FREE!) will be held April 28 at the Cumberland Town
Hall.
Gatekeeper Training is a full day training designed for adults who
serve as the first line of recognition and referral for a
distressed youth, possibly at risk for suicide. This includes those
individuals connected to youths because of the roles and
responsibilities inherent in the nature of their job and those
adults to whom youths naturally turn for help and guidance.

Thanks to all
who supported your local farmers through the winter.
The root cellars are about empty of winter produce, but the Cumberland Farmers Market
Association is already making plans for the Summer
market. If you are interested in becoming a vendor, please
contact our Market Manager, Leslie Fitzgerald at market.galME@gmail.com
before March 24th, when we meet and vote in new members.
Opening Day
for the summer market is Saturday, May 21st and hours are 9 AM
- 12 noon. We are moving the market back to the lot at
Cumberland Town Hall. To those who have asked why we
cannot return to the high school location on Main Street: while
there is ample parking, the renovations eliminated an exit, and
it is not safe to have cars driving through the market.
The Town Hall
location provides plenty of parking, enough space for 15-20
vendors, and excellent visibility. At the request of
many, we will once again have piglets, chicks, ducklings, goats,
alpacas, etc. for your enjoyment, but for our farm animals'
safety, customers must leave their dogs at home, in cars,
or at least well
away from the livestock and poultry.
We look
forward to seeing you at the Saturday market, or at one of our
other locations during weekday afternoons: Wednesdays in Falmouth,
Thursdays in Gray, and Fridays in Freeport. Special requests
or suggestions to improve our market may be directed to Pam
Harwood, CFMA president, at pdh@longwoodsalpacas.com
or to Leslie Fitzgerald (email above).
