Mainers know that winters can be long - often filled with snow, cold and plenty of darkness. Rather than hibernate, many Maine CUs embrace Maine in the winter by supporting and coordinating a variety of activities including ice skating, snowmobiling, skiing, sledding, or just plain enjoying being outside in the winter.
Turner
Community CU staff are all smiles helping to volunteer at the Turner Ridge Riders Vintage Race. Pictured l-r are: Matthew Shaw, Kirstyn Birkbeck, Betsy Sibley, Natalie Michaud and Therese Raymond.
Fort Kent
Under the, "If you can't beat'em, join'em," category, staff at Acadia FCU got into the Olympic spirit with staff participating in events, such as the Toilet Paper Toss and others. At the "medal" ceremony for one event are (l-r) Amy Michaud; Gail Beaupre; Amber Voisine and Dylan Paradis.
