Knox County Homeless Coalition is one of seven Northern New England nonprofit organizations selected to receive donations from Bar Harbor Bank & Trust’s employee-driven charitable giving program, Casual for a Cause. The contributions collected in Q4 2020 total nearly $12,000.
“These nonprofit organizations provide much-needed services to our communities, and the employees of Bar Harbor Bank & Trust are honored to be able to assist them with their efforts,” said Jack Frost, VP Director of Community Giving at Bar Harbor Bank & Trust.
Casual for a Cause gives Bank employees the opportunity to dress casually on Fridays in exchange for a bi-weekly payroll deduction made to a pool of funds collected during each quarter. The employees then vote on the nonprofits to receive their contributions. Employees have donated more than $100,000 to more than 50 organizations across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont since the program launched in 2018.
Opening day for COVID vaccine at Leviâs Stadium
It was opening day at Levi s Stadium; not for football but for COVID-19 mass vaccinations.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - It was opening day at Levi s Stadium; not for football but for COVID-19 mass vaccinations.
Tuesday afternoon s events were designed to ramp up vaccine administration for as many shots as the medical team can get their hands on.
For the recipients, it will be either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, the only ones allowed so far, but with others to come pending official approval.
The mass vaccination site is California s largest. But, for now, vaccine seekers must have an appointment, just as two retirees Mary and Tom Donahue of Sunnyvale have.
Feeney for the people
By Bill Knight
Anne Feeney’s fiery, flowing red hair somehow contrasted with her silky singing as she played a rousing set of protest songs, folk and bluegrass and other numbers from the back of a truck.
And from the heart.
She was full of fun and fury.
That was in 1995 at a Decatur demonstration following a march of hundreds of Auto Workers, Rubber Workers, Paperworkers and supporters protesting Caterpillar, Bridgestone/Firestone and A.E. Staley.
Now, her strong voice is silent.
Last week, the popular 69-year-old troubadour died from COVID-19 at a Pittsburgh hospital.
She and I crossed paths a few times over the decades, but the hard-working musician activist was inspiring for many people for many years.
