“Canine Athletes run to Moosehead in February”

The ninth annual Plum Creek Wilderness Sled Dog Race will take place Saturday, February 7, 2015 over forested mountain trails maintained by our partners in this race, Plum Creek Timberlands and Appalachian Mountain Club.  One of only three long-distance races in New England, the Wilderness Race will begin and end in the town of Greenville and offers mushers and their canine athletes a chance to compete in a 66 mile race that will start at 9am at Leisure Life Resort in Greenville.  A 30-mile race is also held, and fun activities will be provided by AMC and Greenville Recreation for spectators and families throughout the day at Leisure Life Resort. This event is free to the public.

Pine Tree Hospice offers a bi-monthly adult bereavement support group that meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 7-8 P.M. at the Pine Tree Hospice office.

This session’s focus is on “Loss of a Loved One.” The group is for adults who have experienced the loss of a loved one and are seeking a safe place to share their feelings, remember the person who died, and give or receive support from others.

It is not necessary to attend all sessions to participate. To register or for more information, please call Pine Tree Hospice at 564-4346 or e-mail wecare@pinetreehospice.org.

With colder weather approaching, Spectrum Generations is in full swing helping older and disabled adults in central Maine get the assistance they need to stay warm and safe this winter.
