Dear Editor:

To friends and family of The Lincoln Home:

This year we celebrate 95 years of serving seniors and our Lincoln County community. Our dedicated staff and Board of Directors could not do this without our valued community members’ support.

The Lincoln Home began with a small group of dedicated women who saw the need to provide a home for seniors in Lincoln County. Starting with seven dollars, their vision grew through the generosity of community member, George J. Woodman, who donated $15,000 to buy the original homestead. The legacy has continued through 95 years, because of the collaboration and support by individual and business members in our community.

The Lincoln Home has grown and evolved to meet the wide variety of needs, expectations and changes the last century has brought. Additions and modifications have been implemented to support a lifestyle for Vibrant Seniors. Harbor View Cottage was developed to provide a nurturing home for community members with memory challenges, and our One2One Care supports seniors who wish to remain at home.

Associates, residents, and family members continue to say what sets our extraordinary community apart, is the feeling of family we share, and staff that go above and beyond.

We need your help to continue to address the evolving needs of our Lincoln County senior community. The Lincoln Home is one of the last free-standing, not-for-profit Assisted Living Homes in Maine, and receives no federal or state dollars. Your donations make it possible to provide a wide variety of opportunities to support seniors with exceptional service and a unique way of life here in the Midcoast. 100% of your tax-deductible donation is used for the direct benefit of residents.

Your contribution ensures The Lincoln Home remains sustainable into the future by maximizing and building on our foundation, honoring our history, and maintaining our valued place in Lincoln County. Mail your tax deductible donation to Lorrie Winslow, 22 River Road, Newcastle, ME 04553 or make a secure donation on our website: www.lincoln-home.org, Help Us Help Others. Donations of $95 or more will receive our custom designed 2022 Lincoln Home calendar.

We are looking forward to celebrating our 95th Birthday with members of our Lincoln County Community! We will be hosting a number of community events throughout 2022.

Lorrie Winslow

Executive Director
