Aroostook County
Meeting, this Thursday, Aug. 2
David Fernald to
speak on ‘Airport Challenges and
Opportunities’ |
Please plan on joining the MBTA as we
head to Presque Isle for our annual Aroostook County meeting
this Thursday, August 2, at the Northeastland Hotel.
The topic: Maine has 36 regional
airports, and like our highways and bridges, they face major
challenges ahead. David Fernald, president of the Maine Airport
Managers Association and manager of the Northern Aroostook Regional
Airport, will talk about some of the hot button issues facing
Maine's regional airports.
There is still time to reserve.
The reception starts at 5 p.m.; the dinner and program at 6.
Please call the MBTA office ASAP at 207-622-0526 or e-mail
deanna@mbtaonline.org.
MBTA Fall Convention returns to the Samoset
Save your space! Register by August

The
MBTA Fall Convention returns to the Samoset Resort in Rockport this
September 14-16.
The Convention Committee has a great
program planned – from the Volley Ball Tournament and Grand Opening
Reception that will kick off the weekend on Friday to the Saturday
evening reception, dinner and entertainment by Laughing Stock Comedy
Company. There are many activities throughout the weekend: bocce,
kayaking, cribbage, the golf tournament, a trolley tour, the silent
and live auctions (that benefit the Infrastructure Development Fund)
and more. The MBTA and Samoset Resort also have a slate of fun
activities planned for the kids. Please note: to secure the special convention
room rate at the resort, you have to sign up by August 14.
Please check out
the Convention packet that was e-mailed to you last week, or visit
the web site, www.mbtaonline.org/events.htm, for registration forms

Foundation raffle tickets that were sent to you in the mail, too! We
will announce the winners at the convention dinner on Saturday,

you know someone who has made a lifetime contribution to
transportation development in Maine? We need to hear about it.
