“My husband and I appreciate Maine Public’s vast service in our state, including dependable news via TV and radio, as well as the Classical Station. We use the Online programs on occasion, too, and appreciate their availability. Our state is most fortunate. Thank you for what you do!”
“Personally, Maine Public is my primary news source – always informative and timely. That’s why I contribute. As a corporate underwriter (MEMIC), we’re also assured to reach an educated and engaged audience throughout the state. In my opinion, there is no better source for news that matters.”
“Thank you so much for facilitating the instrument donation for Maine schools. As you know musical instruments are very expensive, you have done a great service to our music program for providing instruments for my students to play and enjoy. Again, thank you so much for your kindness, my students were amazed to see the beautiful instruments and so excited to play them. ”
“Socially isolated older immigrant clients often rely on younger family members/friends to learn about what’s going on where they live. Maine Public News Connect provides them with a direct source for local news. It also allows pre-literate folks to access the news. It gives older immigrants something more to talk about with their English-speaking neighbors and friends. It helps them feel more connected to and understand their sometimes strange new home.”
