Lisbon Historical Society—http://www.lisbonmainehistory.org Archive Hours—Thursdays 1 PM to 4 PM Meetings—Second Wednesdays of the Month, 7:00 PM In anticipation of the Town's bi-centennial, the present Lisbon Historical Society was organized in 1996. Both Bill Barr, a history buff, and Norm Fournier, then publisher of the Lisbon Enterprise, were instru­ mental in gathering townspeople interested in the history of the Lisbon area. They began collecting historical memorabilia and documents, and held an organizational meeting at the library, but soon moved to a room in the Enterprise building. When the MTM Center became a community resource, the historical society gained two rooms—one serving as a museum for its holdings, and a second room for files and research, as well as a place for the Society’s monthly meetings. The Society not only presents monthly programs at the MTM Center, but also maintains the old Ridge School House, restored and furnished as it would have been as a town district school in the old days. The Society’s volunteer staff actively collects and preserves material that promotes the understand­ ing of the history of the Lisbon area. This group has gathered an extensive collection of historical items, rang­ ing from documents, files, tools, and household goods, as well as many vital records, including obituaries, family histories and genealogies, clippings, pictures, and postcards. They also maintains items relating to school life, town businesses and personalities, and fraternal and military organizations. The collection is con­ stantly growing, and is a boon to preservationists and researchers. Stop by and visit us.

MAINE 04333-0001 Paul R LePage GOVERNOR January 9, 2013 Dear Lisbon Citizens: Maine has a great tradition of civil involvement and citizen participation in the decision making process. Thank you for taking the time to become informed. In the fall of 2011, a prominent national business magazine published a business climate ranking that put the country on notice that Maine is the toughest state in our nation to grow a business and create jobs. As a result of our challenging business climate, our per capita income is just 80 percent of the national average. One of my top priorities for getting Maine moving is regulatory reform. The objective is a cooperative approach to how the State and municipalities work with the private sector rather than a weakening of standards or oversight. This is why I have created a new "Certified Business Friendly Community" program which is geared towards helping towns reduce red tape, and work with our job creators. Plenty of good paying jobs and a growing tax base are what is needed to solve many of our public sector problems. Given the chance, Maine's private sector
