The ANNUAL FUND — We’re pleased to announce that our yearly fundraising efforts to preserve the historic circa 1822 Hastings Homestead will now be earmarked as donations to the “Annual Fund.” The cost of keeping the electricity on and providing minimal heating in the first-floor rooms is something our board is committed to. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated (and are tax-deductible since we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization). Our mailing address for checks is P.O. Box 1642, Bethel, ME 04217 or you can easily donate via PayPal or credit card here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/… We’d be honored to receive your support!
