Our local Grateful Undead group is setting up a phone buddy system to help older residents who are alone at home and would like someone to check in regularly to give them someone to talk to, someone who can know they are safe, and if not, to get them assistance. This buddy system is entirely voluntary, and anyone may participate to make calls, and is voluntary for older residents who would like to receive calls.
If you know of someone who might be interested, have them call our Porter contact person, Kathy Chaiklin , at 625-8030.

DownloadThe latest recipient of the Boston Post Cane is M. Ellen Miliken. She
was born 97 years ago in Parsonsfield, ME. She moved to Porter in 1981 and has lived here ever since. She worked most of her life doing various jobs such as babysitting, working in the apple orchards, rock picking for Manuel Stacey, and anything else that needed to be done. She and her husband raised four children, Ruth, Faye, Marie, and Richard. She has eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren and one great great grandchild with two more on the way. She still lives by herself in her home in Porter. Amazing.
