Sail, Power & Steam Museum

I received this communication yesterday from the Museum regarding the current Bangor Savings Bank Foundation. The Foundation will give a total of $100,000 to 68 local non-profit organizations. They would like as many Maine residents as possible to vote on the organizations they would like a portion of the funds to go to.
