Bar Harbor Bank & Trust announces the recipients of the 2013 Agnes Salisbury “Customer Service” Award
Bar Harbor, Maine – Bar Harbor Bank & Trust is pleased to announce that Colleen Maynard and Michelle Curtis are the recipients of the 2013 Agnes Salisbury “Customer Service” Award, the Bank’s highest employee honor.
This award, established in 1989 in memory of long time employee, Agnes H. Salisbury, recognizes beyond best service in a number of areas: customer service, teamwork, positive attitude, community service, or assuming extra responsibilities above and beyond the call of duty. Each year, an employee committee selects two award winners from nominations received from Bank employees.
Colleen Maynard, AVP/Branch Relationship Manager (Southwest Harbor) is recognized for her exceptional customer service, using her extensive banking experience to help customers and also taking the time to get to know them on a personal level and understand their specific financial needs. Customers love Colleen because of her warm and friendly personality, and they know they can trust her. She displays patience and compassion when helping others, delivering devoted customer service from the heart. Colleen always has a positive “can do” attitude, encourages her staff, and leads by example. She would not ask anything of a team member that she is not willing to do herself. Not a week goes by that Colleen isn’t using her personal time to help others in her community through her involvement with MDI Lioness, creating the Women’s Business Group, and volunteering for various local fundraising events.
Michelle Curtis, AVP/Branch Relationship Manager (Topsham & South China) is recognized for her professionalism, unfailing friendly attitude, and devotion to exceed the expectations of customers at every opportunity. She will not rest until she solves a problem or addresses a concern to the customer’s satisfaction. Michelle is upbeat and selfless, always putting the needs of customers and team members ahead of her own. At the branch, Michelle is a great team leader, building confidence within her team and instilling a “can do” attitude. A trusted leader in both the bank and the community, Michelle serves on several committees with the Southern Midcoast Maine Chamber, is a member of Brunswick Rotary and Midcoast Young Professionals, is on the board of the local American Red Cross chapter, and volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Please join Bar Harbor Bank & Trust in congratulating these outstanding employees.
Bar Harbor Bank & Trust is a community bank with more than $1.3 billion in assets. Founded in 1887, the Bank offers a full range of financial services and products for families, businesses, and non-profit organizations throughout Maine with 15 branch locations, from Topsham to Lubec.

News from the Nest
Don't miss our gallery talk by artist Robert Pollien, Wednesday, August 21 at 7:00 p.m.With summer at its peak, we hope you'll join us for another opportunity to inspire connections between people, nature, and art. We cordially invite you to the Gilley next Wednesday, August 21 at 7:00 p.m., for a gallery talk delivered by the artist of our current exhibit: Naturally Drawn: Recent Works of Robert Pollien. The talk coincides with Wendell Gilley’s birthday and is free and open to the public.
Please join us to hear Robert discuss his evolution as an artist, and how he communicates the “gestalt” of being immersed in Mount Desert Island’s coast and the nuance of posture and behavior in his intimate crow series.
Near the Shore Path, 2013, graphite and conte on paper by Robert PollienTop of page: Landing (As the Crow Flies), 2013, graphite and conte on paper by Robert Pollien
Our second annual Flight of Swallows was a soaring success! More than 100 guests, volunteers, and Gilley trustees and staff joined together for a summer evening of elegant tastes, sights, aromas, and sounds. An exquisite selection of 52 French wines, including three true champagnes, were enjoyed by everyone amid paired hors d’oeuvres and the classic jazz stylings of Scott Cleveland on piano and John Gallagheron bass. What we enjoyed most of all, however, was the company of our friends and supporters. From all of us at the Gilley, thank you.

Healthy Acadia & Partners Offer Grants to Increase Access to Oral Health

“Healthy Acadia &
Partners Offer Grants to Increase Access to Oral Health”
Healthy
Acadia and the Downeast Community Transformation Collaborative are
pleased to offer competitive grants to organizations to increase
access to oral healthcare for children in Hancock and Washington
Counties. Non-profit organizations as well as private practices are
eligible to apply, and they must provide dental screening, oral
health education, and dental sealants to children through a
school-based or school-linked program, in order to bring about
lasting changes to children’s oral health.
“Oral
health is a critical part of the overall health of children and
adults, and these grant opportunities can make a significant
difference in the health of our community members,” said Elsie
Flemings, Community Relations & Development Director for Healthy
Acadia. “Lack of preventive care can lead to serious dental
disease, causing significant distress, poor physical health and high
treatment costs. 43.2% of adults in Washington and Hancock Counties
have tooth loss due to gum disease or tooth decay. Increasing access
to oral health education and services, including dental sealants,
reduces tooth decay and enhances overall health.”
Grants
of up to $10,000 are available. Organizations, including private
dental practices and non-profit organizations, with the ability to
serve children in regions of Maine’s Washington and Hancock
Counties are eligible to apply. Oral Health Access projects must
include delivery of dental screening, delivery of oral health
education, and delivery of dental sealants to children through a
school-based or school-linked program.
School-based
oral health programs are conducted entirely in school settings, while
school-linked programs are conducted partially in schools (e.g.
patient selection or parental permission), but would generally
provide the oral care at private dental practices or other clinics
outside of schools. For this grant opportunity, Early Childhood
Education Centers are considered “schools,” along with schools
serving students between kindergarten and twelfth grade.
Grant
applications must be sent electronically or by mail by Friday,
September 13, 2013.
Awards will be announced by October 4, 2013. For more information or
to receive an application, please contact Sandie Dubay at 288-5331 or
sandie@healthyacadia.org, or visit www.healthyacadia.org.
The
Downeast Community Transformation Collaborative is coordinated by
Healthy Acadia, in partnership with the Passamaquoddy Tribal Council
at Indian Township, Washington County-One Community, Washington
County Council of Governments, the Hancock County Planning
Commission, and the University of New England. The Collaborative was
awarded a two-year Community Transformation Grant from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to improve health and
reduce chronic disease throughout Washington and Hancock Counties.
Through
the Collaborative, Healthy Acadia and partners are implementing a
broad range of strategies to bring about lasting improvements in the
health of communities across Washington and Hancock Counties.
Initiatives include: increasing the number of children receiving
preventive oral exams, education and treatment, increasing access to
preventive health services, promoting active community environments,
increasing farm-to-school and healthy food experiences in schools,
working with schools to implement Coordinated School Health programs,
and increasing access to nutritious food among people experiencing
low income.
Healthy
Acadia is a non-profit community health coalition serving the
Downeast-Acadia region and is a Healthy Maine Partnership. For more
