Who would have thought the progress that has happened the
past 15 + years to our community: For Example: Partnering with
local associations to Building YAC 100 yard field, to light Oak
Knoll Fields, to rebuild Lake Orono Park, and to
build the Furniture and Things Community Event Center, etc. No
one thought any of this was possible, but by working together the
