    Alna announced via email Oct. 4, Maine Municipal Association (MMA) has recognized Alna's 2022-2023 Annual Report as "Superior" among towns with populations between 500 and 999. The criteria focused on attractiveness of the cover and layout, reader appeal, and the presentation of materials to succinctly inform readers of the community's achievements. Alna joins Carrabassett Valley and Starks as award winners in this population category.

    The Alna Annual Report will be on display with other award-winning reports during MMA's Annual Convention in Augusta Oct. 4 and 5, and Alna will receive a framed certificate.
     
    The email said competition panelist Betty Adams noted, "Community and municipal officials are to be commended for their work in gathering the information that goes into these annual reports. It is obvious that many people have had a hand in the effort."  
     
    The announcement added: “We agree, and especially would like to thank Katy Papagiannis for generously volunteering her time to the composition, and the many Alna students whose poetry appeared throughout the report.”
