What's Up, Calais?

The Eastern Maine Electric Co-op’s annual meeting was well attended on Saturday with great music by Cook & Lamb and delicious food provided by East Coast BBQ. The biggest winner of the many prizes given away was Art Carter. Not only did he receive a credit to his account for being the oldest attendee, but he also won a door prize and one of the two $500 giveaways. In a generous gesture, Art donated the $500 cash prize to the Calais Veterans Center. Congratulations to him for his wins and his wonderful act of kindness!
