Dancers from Sheri Kean Produtions will take to the stage to perform a "Dance Showcase" on Sunday, August 26. The show begins at 3:00 PM with tickets available for just $12 at the door. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Neighborhood House.

The 18th Annual Bike Parade & Ice Cream Social was held on Wednesday, August 8. Children of all ages gathered on the lawn of The Neighborhood House to deck out their rides with streamers, balloons, stickers, flowers, bows, and all sorts of other fun items. At six o'clock, the gang took to the street along with the Mt. Desert Police and Fire Departments to help keep things flowing smoothly.

Island Connections will be hosting a performance of "Love Letters" on Thursday, August 23rd at The Neighborhood House. The play, which was a Pulitzer finalist for drama, will be performed by Chloe Hatcher and Ephron Catlin, will begin at 6:15. Tickets are just $25/each, and all proceeds benefit Island Connections.

You turned out in droves on Wednesday evening for the 18th Annual Bike Parade & Ice Cream Social, and judging by all of the smiles, laughter, and hot fudge covered mouths and fingers, it was another rousing success.

If you weren't able to make it, no worries.

August is a busy month around The Neighborhood House, with plenty of exciting events and activities happening in (and around) the building.

Luckily, this influx of activity will only impact our normal programming on two occasions.

August is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start making plans for the 18th Annual Bike Parade & Ice Cream Social. We're not sure why this event has grown so much or become such an anticipated annual tradition, but we we do know it's always a whole lot of fun. Grab your wheels (bikes, scooters, skateboards, tricycles, strollers, and other contraptions welcome!) and join us! All ages are welcome to take part in this fun and FREE event, whether you want to speed around the parade course or just want to enjoy the sights and an ice cream sundae.

The Neighborhood House Board of Directors held their annual Summer Meeting on Wednesday night at the home of Tad and Lanie Lincoln. More than thirty people gathered, including Board and Committee members, numerous spouses, and Neighborhood House staff members.

On Thursday, July 12, over 300 guests gathered at Abel's Yacht Yard on Somes Sound for the 3rd Annual Bash at the Boatyard. While the event serves as a fundraiser for The Neighborhood House, it also provides an opportunity to gather and celebrate our community in a fun and laid-back atmosphere.

For the third straight year, the party was held on the shore of Somes Sound with idyllic views of the water and western mountains. Mother Nature cooperated as well, providing a perfect summer evening.

The weather could not have cooperated more, and it was literally a perfect evening to be outside. In fact, several dozen like minded individuals and families decided just that and joined us. Many even grabbed a quick takeout dinner from one our in-town eateries and made an evening of it.

Come to The Neighborhood House to learn how your body moves. Explore fundamental elements of movement and how we naturally combined them to move around. This is not a dance class. Participants will explore the "building blocks" from which all movement occurs.

Guaranteed to put a little tap in your toes and some pep in your step, the "Chicks with Sticks" Steel Drum Band is set to take the stage to do it up tight and out of sight. Join The Neighborhood House and Northeast Harbor Library on Thursday, July 19 as we celebrate our year 'round collaborative efforts with this FREE all ages performance.

The Municipal Swimming Pool, located adjacent to Mt. Desert Elementary, will offer public swim times beginning Tuesday, July 3.
