06_Sanford_05Active Community Environment Team

My name is Casey Lancaster, and I recently started working with Partners for Healthier Communities in the town of Sanford in January! Part of my position revolves around working with an active ACE Team In the Area, and I’m very energized to work with you all! Lee Burnett informed me that the ACE Team here in Sanford has been concerned with improving bicycle and pedestrian mobility in the past, and I’d like to take time to get together and discuss the current issues, and how the ACE Team here in Sanford can address those issues!

I look forward to working with interested members of the ACE Team to discuss how we can make Sanford more active!

45th Annual Waban Telethon

The 45th Annual Waban Telethon will be held on Saturday, March 19th, from 10 AM  to 6 PM, at the St. Ignatius Gym on Riverside Avenue in Sanford. The Telethon is sponsored by the St. Therese of Liseux Parish. For almost 50 years Waban has been making a difference in the lives of children and adults with disabilities.

As a non-profit, much of our financial support comes from donations. Last year individuals, businesses, and organizations came together and demonstrated their unflagging support of the children’s programs at Waban by raising $86,310.00! With the help of the community and individuals like you, we know we can raise even more than last year–come join us.
