We have received inquiries asking whether the $300 check is legitimate or a scam. At this time, we have been told that the program is legitimate. For additional information, please follow the link listed at the bottom of the flyer: Maine.gov/revenue.

However please remember:
If anyone contacts you asking for your bank account number, Social Security number, debit card information or payment to receive these funds…it is a scam!

The State of Maine will not call you requesting sensitive financial information in order to receive this payment.

Scammers capitalize on opportunities like this! Our best defense is education to STOP scams before they start!!

Please help protect yourself, friends, older adults and others in our community by sharing this reminder.

Volunteer Opportunity at The Beacon Cottage

The Beacon Cottage is currently looking for a volunteer instructor to lead a gentle Yoga, Stretching or Pilates class on Wednesday mornings at 9:00 AM.

This offering would help support older adults in our community through movement, balance, flexibility, wellness and social connection in a warm and welcoming environment.

Classes will be held at:
Beacon Cottage
102 Main Street
Ogunquit, Maine

We are hoping to find someone with a kind heart, positive energy and a passion for helping others feel healthy and connected. Experience working with older adults is a plus but not required.

The Beacon Cottage is a volunteer and donation driven community space focused on reducing isolation and supporting older adults through meaningful programs and connections.

If you are interested in volunteering your time or would like more information, please contact us at:
[email protected] or 646-6492 or visit us at the cottage Mon-Wed 9-1pm!

Thank you!

We apologize for the event page time mistake today! Our class with Nicci was at 10am this morning as the flyer states and not 1pm. The time zone was toggled incorrectly in the event on Facebook so we apologize! We hope to have her join us again this summer!
