College Of The Atlantic Reception Aug 18

Posted on July 10, 2009August 19, 2009 by President

Casey Mallinckrodt writes us:

“College of the Atlantic/Beech Hill Farm would like to include a tasting of Maine Cheese at a lunch event on Saturday August 18th. This is a private event for approximately 50 people and the cheese will be a compliment to the meal- not a main component.

We would like to have as many types of cheese as possible, and need only a pound or less from each cheese maker. The cheese will be paid for but we welcome any contributions.”

Maine State Reception in August

Posted on June 30, 2009June 30, 2009 by President

state_seal_sm In 2010 Maine will host the 50th Annual Meeting of the Council of State Governments’ Eastern Regional Conference (CSG/ERC). In preparation of this big event, the State of Maine is planning a “teaser” reception at this year’s meeting in Burlington, VT and would very much like to feature Maine cheese (along with other Maine foods) at that reception.

They are expecting around 300 people to attend this reception, which will be held August 4th. Given that number I “guess-timated” that 10 pounds of cheese (among all the other food) would suffice. The Maine State Legislature (who is coordinating the events) is looking for donations, but is willing to pay for cheese if that would ensure a good turnout. The cheese will need to be shipped to the Burlington Hilton, and they are definitely willing to reimburse for the shipping costs. Given that the reception is on a Tuesday, and the caterers have asked that all food arrive at least the day before the event, the cheese would realistically need to be shipped to arrive on Friday, July 31st.

Please post a comment if you can contribute to this event, or email me directly.

Of course they are also interested in having the Maine Cheese Guild participate in the 2010 event (to take place in Portland) as well; I’ll have more info on that event as it approaches.
