The guest speaker will be fellow F4SC Ambassador\, Stephen Cote\, from the Massachusetts Coalition to Build Community & End Loneliness who will share with us what they are doing in Massachusetts\, how they are organized\, and the impact they are having. \nWe invite you to register here and share the event with anyone who may be interested playing a role in this Maine initiative.
