I just love summer (when it finally gets here)!
This month I want to address the way we accept
the Registration Forms through the Mail and
when you drop it off in the Township Drop
Box. Those of you who mail the completed
Registration Forms will be given first consideration before the forms in the drop box. So if we
receive your form in the mail on Tuesday, it is
opened on Tuesday. The forms in the
drop box on Tuesday will be
opened and entered on Wednesday after the mail is opened. We
still DO NOT ACCEPT Walk-ins.
So let's work together to make this
process run smoothly for both
you and the MaineStreamer Staff! Thank you!

Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden defined beauty standards for the first
half of the 20th Century. Brilliant innovators with humble roots, both were
masters of self-invention who sacrificed everything to become the country’s first
major female entrepreneurs. They were also fierce competitors, whose 50-year
tug-of-war would give birth to an industry. From Fifth Avenue society to the
halls of Congress, their remarkable rivalry was ruthless, relentless and
legendary - pushing both women to build international empires in a world
dominated by men. Starring two Tony Award winners Patti LuPone and Christine
Ebersole!
