Painting the Campus with Marigolds - A Letter From Dr. Jeffrey Bell


During the month of May we had a lot of rain in Maine. Thus, we are a few days late in planting flowers on the campus. Staff members plant 600 marigolds just on the walkways at the Institute and Tracy Hall. Other potted flowers are distributed around the campus. Most of these flowers are paid for by people who save their empty bottles throughout the year.

We receive many compliments throughout the summer concerning how beautiful the campus looks with all the flowers.

For several years we have had no place, except the great outdoors, to park our snowplow and other equipment. As you know, Maine has severe winters, and can be hard on equipment left to the elements. We are happy to report that a shed has been built on to our furnace building. This will aid us greatly in getting our vehicles under cover.
 
Blessings,


(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell
President
