A little networking, a lot of good conversation, and a good excuse to get out of the office a bit early. 😉 Plus delicious b**r from Shipyard Brewing Company! 🎃🍺

We had a great time at the latest Visit Portland Maine mixer, catching up with familiar faces and meeting a few new ones from around the Portland business community.

Thanks Visit Portland for sharing these shots taken by Harleigh Gastman! 📷

A new website is live for Special Olympics Maine, and we’re so proud to have been part of bringing it to life in collaboration with Springtide Studio!

The new site makes it easier for athletes, families, coaches, volunteers, schools, and donors to find their starting line and connect with everything Special Olympics Maine has to offer.

And hearing this from their team made launch day even better: “We’ve heard such positive feedback from our team and community. Thank you all SO MUCH for your work on the site. It is so beautiful and we’re thrilled!”

— Caroline Cole, Vice President of Operations

Congratulations to the Special Olympics Maine team on the launch! 🎉
