Kudos to the Friends of Downtown for a fantastic Cruising with Friends event on Friday night!

The Little Theatre at Nasson Community Center works hard to bring quality, local theater programming to the greater Sanford-Springvale community. Most recently, the Theatre had an incredibly successful summer production of Nunsense. Later this year, they will be bringing a full children’s production of the beloved classic, The Wizard of Oz, to the stage, with full live accompaniment. Other diverse offerings are being planned as well. All of these take a tremendous amount of resources, therefore they are asking for your support. Any amount is appreciated and will be used for only future cultural offerings. Donate here: https://visufund.com/nasson-little-theatre-patron-campaign
Want to earn a few extra bucks this fall? Sanford Soccer needs referees! There will be a Grassroots soccer referee training at Shaw Field on Sunday, August 14th, from 9:00 to 3:00 and Sunday, August 21st, 9:00 to 4:00 pm. You must attend both days to become certified and complete your online work. The cost for the class is $115. A complete referee uniform set is available for $55, and includes a long sleeve shirt, shorts, socks, whistle, lanyard, wallet, cards, Velcro for your patch, and one flag. Anyone age 14 and older can be a referee, but they encourage adults to sign up and learn the game of soccer while making some extra money. Referees earn between $25 and $60 per game.
