It's always interesting.If you'd like to come in May that's going to be May 10 at 9 a.m. with coffee and donuts. Walsh said the Orono Foundation just had their yearly bash last weekend. They raise money for the schools for all the stuff that the schools don't have money for. He said COVID had hurt the event the last few years but it's starting to come back and they raised a lot of money.Walsh named several members of the high school speech team who had qualified for State and National competition and congratulated them. The boys basketball team took third in the State,so hats off to them as well to get that far. Walsh said his own daughter,who is a level nine gymnast,was the State champion and her age level. She also went to regionals a week and a half ago and won the regional championship of the seven-State area. In a few weeks she will go to nationals. So it's an exciting time with a lot of stuff going on. You got to see a couple things we got to talk about tonight with the lift stations and all the things that we've done,the Public Works facility that's going up, all the things that we're doing to make sure Orono was taken care of going into the next century on the budget.Don't believe anything you hear on social media. It's all in our budget.It's been done well.
