Mary's Walk began in 1999 as a way to honor Mary Kerry Libby, a much-loved member of the Saco-Biddeford community who passed away from Burkitt's Lymphoma. 28 years later, Mary’s Walk has raised over $4.6 million for Maine Cancer Foundation. Join us every March to celebrate community and raise money to fight cancer in Maine!

Enhance strength, balance and body awareness in this classical Pilates series at the JCA. Led by classically trained and certified instructor Becca Asen, each session focuses on mindful and controlled movements and proper alignment. Rooted in Joseph Pilates’ six core principles — centering, control, concentration, flow, breath, and precision — this method offers benefits for all bodies and abilities.

Participants are welcome to attend any number of classes in the series. Yoga mats will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their own. No prior experience is necessary; all abilities are welcome, ages 13+. Class punch cards are available for purchase at the front desk. With a punch card, you buy 10 classes and get the 11th class for free! Punch cards never expire and may be redeemed for any class with Becca Asen at the JCA.

Gardeners and orchardists are invited to bring their seeds, scionwood and cuttings to share. If you don’t have any, come anyway! There is always plenty of seeds and scion to go around.

Community members and local seed growers regularly bring an incredible variety of vegetable, fruit, flower, and herb seeds. We also regularly have over 150+ types of scionwood to share, including scionwood sourced from MOFGA’s orchards. We will also have limited quantities of rootstock for sale. Custom grafting is available by donation to the Maine Heritage Orchard.

Other items for sharing are welcome such as plants, cuttings, seedlings, hatching eggs, kombucha and yogurt starters, salves and other homemade items.

The day’s offerings also include gardening workshops, pruning demonstrations, and other educational activities.

Anastasia: The Musical is a dazzling musical based on the 1997 animated film of the same name, telling the story of Anya, a brave young orphan who may be the Princess Anastasia Romanov, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II.
