Maine Seacoast Mission vessel the Sunbeam to Host Open House in Home Port

Description

On Tuesday, June 11 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Maine Seacoast Mission’s 74-foot flagship vessel Sunbeam will host an open house in Northeast Harbor Marina, Sunbeam’s home port. Visitors are invited to tour Sunbeam and learn more about the Mission’s work in coastal Washington County and on outer, unbridged islands. Mission President John Zavodny says “We’re excited to welcome the public aboard Sunbeam to learn more about outer islands and the difference our programs make in our communities. It's particularly special to open the boat in her home port of Northeast Harbor, and to visit friends in southern Maine communities.” Mission programming via Sunbeam regularly provides support through counseling, education initiatives, and education services. In addition, a full-time nurse offers flu and Covid vaccination clinics, leads a network of eldercare facilities, provides healthcare check-ups, and connects residents to mainland specialists. Islands served include Chebeague, Cliff Island, Frenchboro, Great Cranberry, Great Diamond, Isle au Haut, Islesboro, Islesford, Long Island, Matinicus, Monhegan, North Haven, Peaks, and Swan’s. There will be three open houses scheduled for coastal Maine this summer: Sunday, June 30 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. with the Wilson Museum at the Castine Town Dock Saturday, July 27 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Brown’s Wharf in Boothbay Harbor Thursday, August 29 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Northeast Harbor Sunbeam Open Houses are open to the public.
