West Enfield NOI August 2019
I have attached the important notice about the relicensing of the West Enfield dam, and the upcoming Scoping meetings at which the people are able to discuss their concerns directly with the regulatory agency. This is a very important step and will help protect Tribal interests and the river, if people show up to participate!
Thanks!!

Penobscot Nation Youth Program
The Penobscot Nation Youth Program is looking for donations to help increase and enhance activities and programs for the youth. The youth are the foundation of our future and needs our help and support to create positive opportunities that will only strengthen our community. There are many ways to help: monetary donations, donations of supplies, and a donation of time with the youth. You can invest in many things in life and you may win some and lose some, but when you invest in the youth you win every time. The youth needs your help more than ever and every little bit helps.
Please contact John Neptune at 207-659-3490 or Brittney Fields at 207-217-1906 to let us know how you would like to help. A payroll deduction form has been attached, if that is a way you would like to support the youth of this community.
