We'll discuss the nuts and bolts of protecting your land through conservation easement, including working with a land trust, the many steps from start to finish, and financial considerations.

Join Faith Community Church for our March Dinner & Movie Night at the Unity College Centre for the Performing Arts located at
42 Depot Street in Unity, 948-7469. Dinner will be served at 5:00 p.m. in the Banquet Room, followed by the movie Secondhand Lions in the Auditorium at 6:30 p.m.
"This comedic and touching family film follows the adventures of a shy young boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncles (Michael Caine, Robert Duvall). At first shocked by his uncles' unconventional behavior that includes ordering African lions through the mail, the boy soon becomes enthralled with unraveling the mystery that has followed the uncles for years. Hearing tales of their exotic adventures involving kidnapped princesses, Arabian sheiks and lost treasure, not only brings him closer to his uncles but also teachs him to believe in something… whether it's true or not."
Join us for great food, fellowship and a fun family film. Everyone is welcome!! For additional information contact Pastor Paul Keller at 557-1625, or email paul@unityfcc.org.

In the Gallery
Wood, wood and more wood……… Six accomplished woodworkers will display furniture, guitars, marquetry, boxes and “lumpheads” at the gallery for the month of March. A public opening reception will be held at the gallery on March 6th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm with refreshments.
Jim Crampton from Searsmont has spent the last 20 years creating well built and visually stunning pieces combining woodworking and stained glass. He will also show his burl boxes which he crafts to emphasize their inherent natural beauty.
Richard Crampton who lives in Orland teaches and works for the fire department, but in his spare time creates carved faces (“lumpheads”) from strange pieces of wood he finds in the forest. All of his carvings are meant to be touched, lifted, and inspected. Once his carvings have new owners, he encourages further modifications like glasses, beards, earrings, etc.
Mel Lidstone who owns Burnham Shaker Products produces handcrafted reproduction oval Shaker boxes and furniture. The boxes are made from native Maine hardwoods using a procedure that is a handmade and precise process much the same as the Shakers used 150 years ago. He will display some of the Shaker – influenced furniture pieces he makes which have a wax over paint finish which gives them a warmth that is easy to live with.
James Macdonald has been creating custom furniture featuring marquetry and inlay work at his studio in Burnham, Maine since 1989. Recently James has been focusing on marquetry, the creating of pictures using thin veneers of different kinds of wood. Marquetry can be used to embellish a furniture design or can be displayed on the wall and examples of both will be on display at the gallery.
Liza Wheeler’s pieces at the gallery are a mirror framed with planed walnut veneer pieces arranged in an archetypal form found in nature in whirlpools, the eye and the whorl of leaves or petals, and an exquisite table whose design was influenced by a traditional Chinese table. Wheeler works out of her shop in Belfast where she does commissioned work while occasionally teaching furniture making at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport.
David Holbrook is an artist and woodworker from Liberty who has been making instruments and furniture for 20 years. He will show two guitars which he made for himself but he welcomes commissions for custom instruments. He is currently studying and building his first violin.
The gallery is open when there are performances or other functions scheduled in the building or by appointment at any time. Call 568-3147 or 948-7469 for more information.
