Come try out water polo with Southern Maine Water Polo! We are a club that welcomes all newcomers. The only requirement for the sport is that you are an experienced swimmer. We will help to teach the fundamentals of the sport throughout practice. Expect a fantastic workout while playing this fun sport! Make sure to check out our website for any changes to our schedule. We do not practice on holiday weekends.
Chatham Trails Association maintains approximately 40 miles of hiking trails around Evans Notch in the White Mountain National Forest in Maine and New Hampshire. Join us for a FREE weekend of trail work to help keep these trails in good condition. These weekends are a great way to connect with others and to give back to the trails we are so passionate about. Comfortable accommodations available at the AMC Cold River Camp and all meals provided from dinner Friday to sack lunch on Monday. Prior trailwork experience is welcome but not necessary--we'll gladly teach new volunteers. Event runs from about 6pm Friday to Monday after breakfast with full days of trailwork on Saturday and Sunday and the possibility of smaller projects on Monday morning. Registration required by May 15. There is no cost to volunteer at this event and tools will be provided.
Scottish Country Dance is the ballroom dance of Scotland, done in longwise sets of several couples. We meet weekly to learn and enjoy the dances. All dances are taught. We recommend soft soled, flexible shoes. Bring a water bottle. There is a beginner/preview session at 5 p.m. by request. Note, we do not dance during the month of December.
Jokes abound in this world premiere about the writers of I Love Lucy. Follow head-writer Madelyn Pugh as she fiercely and hilariously navigates the male dominated entertainment industry, and her contentious relationship with writing partner Bob Carroll Jr. Prepare to be surprised, amused, and laughing the whole way through!

The Lewiston Public Library, in partnership with ArtVan, will be offering in-person art programs.
Starting on September 10th, the programs will take place on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month from 3:30pm-5:00pm in the Children’s Department for children ages 5-14.

Program takes place on the 3rd floor of the Lewiston Public Library, in the Children’s Department. Children aged 5-8 must be accompanied by an adult.
ArtVan is a mobile art program that brings hands-on creative art opportunities for self-expression, personal growth, and fun. All of their projects aim to inspire art-making with a variety of materials to explore. ArtVan programs engage all age groups, encourage time outside and reduce screen time, help youth stay connected, diminish stress, and provide release for unvented expressions of emotions, such as loss and confusion.
ArtVan began in 2004 and has provided therapeutic art and strengths-based programs to under-resourced neighborhoods.
The Lewiston Public Library is located downtown at 200 Lisbon Street at the corner of Pine Street. More information on ArtVan programs is available by contacting the Lewiston Public Library at 513-3133 or LPLKids@lewistonmaine.gov.
