SUMMARY:Casting Call for a Commercial
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to be in an advertisement?  The board received this request from AHC Casting.  They are going to do an advertisement for T Mobile.  So\, if you’re a T Mobile customer and live in the Augusta area\, read on.  In particular\, they would like to find a family who is active\, outdoorsy\, likes winter activities\, etc\, and ….who uses T Mobile. \nI’m reaching out with an unusual inquiry. My office is casting a T Mobile commercial that is going to be shooting in Augusta\, ME in late February. We are seeking LOCAL families (who currently live in/near Augusta or the surrounding cities – Vassalboro\, Benton\, Oakland\, China\, Norridgewock\, Waterville) who are also real T Mobile customers who might want to be considered for the project. It’s going to be a fun\, one-day shoot for $1200/ person. If production decides to film talent in their home they’ll earn an additional $300.  \nWe would like to find a family who is active\, outdoorsy\, likes winter activities\, etc\, and ….who uses T Mobile. \nWe are holding zoom interviews on Monday and Tuesday (January 30 & 31) and anyone who wants to be considered can email at this address directly. lindsay@alysonhorncasting.com  \nI am available to speak more about this project if you have questions and please feel free to check out our Instag. ram page as it has a lot of our current work: https://www.instagram.com/ahccasting.  The website is: https://www.ahccasting.com/.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting – Africa
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Gina Garey tells us about an extraordinary\, life altering experience in East Africa\, including time in Tanzania and Kenya. \nWe visited several national parks\, conservancies and refuges\, the Jane Goodall Chimpanzee Sanctuary and the the Wildlife Orphanage located adjacent to the Mt. Kenya Safari Club\, to name a few highlights of the journey. \nThe cultural exchange opportunities and wildlife viewing at a Unesco World Heritage site were unparalleled\, as we had the privilege of coming up close and personal with a wide variety of newborn species\, and of course\, the big five. \nOur wildlife guides were the “best on the ground” offering their insights and expertise as they knew exactly where and how to find the more extraordinary experiences for us all. With over 1\,000 photographs and dozens of videos\, it will be a challenge to condense such a special adventure in the bush\, but I’ll do my best! \n  \n___________________________________________\nGina has a Master’s Degree in Animal Behavior\, and operates a private practice here in Maine. She is an avid downhill and cross country skier. She is looking forward to getting back out on the slopes this winter with all you MOAC skiers\, following a number of health setbacks in recent years that are finally in the rearview mirror! Gina looks forward to some winter fun with you all! \nShe also serves as the State Director in Maine for Animal Wellness Action\, and the Center for a Humane Economy. \n___________________________________________\nIn addition to the speaker\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers.  It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions.  Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza).  Here’s a Google Map link. \n

SUMMARY:MOAC Monthly Meeting – Travel in Burma!
DESCRIPTION:Visit the fascinating country of Burma (Myanmar) with Jean Armstrong.\n\nJean\, a long-time MOAC member\, waited to travel independently to Burma (Myanmar) until 2011 when it was possible without going via a government restricted tour. Here\, she experienced 3 World Heritage Sites. Shimmering\, gleaming Schwedagon\, 6 acres of temples and stupas in Yangon was spectacular as was the vibrant tea house street culture.\n\nShe visited Inle Lake\, a trekking area with many colorful ethnic minority groups\, packs of dogs and frequent brownouts. Inle lake has stilt villages built in the middle of the lake\, and active farming and fishing done on the lake berms. She was able to bicycle and wander into countless payas and stupas in search of frescos in Old Bagan\, where there are 6000 temples built between the 11th and 13th century. Armstrong spent time in the city of Mandalay which has gravel streets and 1 trishaw\, or motorcycle taxi for every 3 people there.\n\nShe took trucks to U Bein Bridge\, the tallest Teak pedestrian bridge spanning 3/4 of a mile and Sagaing\, where 600 white temples are set in the mountains along a river with hilly enclosed staircases running from 1 temple to another. The highlight of her trip was being the only Westerner in a military town and finding an ex Shan State videographer for a guide. They rode into Shan State on degraded roads on his motorcycle and stayed in Palaung village homes. She was overwhelmed with the desire of the Burmese and the minority groups to connect with her and share stories about their experiences of living in an oppressed country where time stood still for 50 years.\n\nWhile it is still possible to obtain a 28 day VISA to visit a few select restricted areas of Burma\, The US State Dept. strongly recommends against it due to safety issues which have increased since the 2021 coup.\n\nArmstrong is a long time MOAC member since the first year of the club and has enjoyed participating and leading a number of sports of any season.\n\n___________________________________________ \nIn addition to the speaker\, the meeting is a chance to hear about recent outings\, hear about upcoming outings\, and socialize with other MOACers.  It’s also a chance for new or prospective members to ask questions.  Meeting begins at 7:00\, but come at 6:30 to socialize and meet people. \nLocation: the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church\, 524 Allen Avenue\, Portland (near Northgate Shopping Plaza).  Here’s a Google Map link. \nWhile we would love to see you in person\, here is a zoom link: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85487590664?pwd=YjM3bG1xbnl5MEM5STNmUGJNSEVyQT09 \nMeeting ID: 854 8759 0664\nPasscode: 362996 \n

SUMMARY:MOAC Monthly Meeting with Wendy Hayes
DESCRIPTION:Let’s Visit Iceland!\nJoin us as Wendy Hayes takes on a journey to a beautiful country with waterfalls\, cliffs\, volcanoes\, and hot springs – it’s just an amazing place. \nShe’s made several trips to Iceland\, the last trip in June 2021.  She’ll be sharing some of her images\, knowledge\, and adventures at the September 7 meeting.

SUMMARY:MOAC Monthly Meeting with Freddie Wilkinson
DESCRIPTION:The challenges and pleasures of climbing with Freddie Wilkinson\, Marketing Director and Partner at Salt Pump Climbing Company\, Scarborough. \n—————– \nFrom the teahouses of Khumbu Himal to obscure glaciers of the Alaska Range\, Freddie is an alpinist known for his infectious energy and original lines of ascent. He graduated with a degree in history from Dartmouth College\, though he probably spent more time roaming the White Mountains than he did studying. After school\, he fell into the guiding/climbing lifestyle for many years\, which afforded him the opportunity to travel and climb extensively in such places as Alaska\, Patagonia\, Yosemite Valley\, India and Nepal. In 2010\, he published the narrative non-fiction book “One Mountain Thousand Summits: The Untold Story of Tragedy and True Heroism on K2.” Wilkinson is also a partner guide at Cathedral Mountain Guides\, based out of North Conway\, New Hampshire. When not writing or away on expeditions\, he enjoys amateur lamb-farming with his wife Janet and two kids\, Casey and Oscar.

SUMMARY:May General Meeting - The Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) with Molly Geiger
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 1988 (one year older than MOAC)\, the idea of a coastal water trail in Maine was born in the late 1970s following a land survey conducted by the State of Maine of the uninhabited coastal islands. As part of an evaluation between the State and the non-profit Island Institute in the mid-80’s\, Dave Getchell\, Sr.\, a founder of MITA\, explored the length of the coast and identified some 40 public islands suitable for recreational use. These public properties eventually formed the nucleus of the original Maine Island Trail. \nToday\, the trail itself has steadily grown to encompass the entire coast of Maine – from New Hampshire to Canada – and to include well over 200 islands and mainland sites. But it is not that simple. \nJoin us as Molly Geiger\, MITA Membership Manager\, give an overview of MITA’s history\, stewardship work\, and mission of providing access to Maine’s spectacular islands. You’ll learn more about how you can get involved in the MITA community\, whether through volunteer work\, events\, or by becoming a member. \n——————— \nMolly joined the MITA staff in fall 2019. A native Mainer\, she grew up in the Midcoast region\, exploring the islands and coastline from a young age. She received her BA in Anthropology from Bard College\, and has worked in the conservation and education fields since 2006\, including a several year stint at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago. Molly got her first kayak as a teenager and has been an enthusiastic boater ever since. Most recently she is enjoying learning the challenges and joys of stand up paddle boarding on the Maine coast. \nJoin us on Zoom HERE.
