The brochure is something Center Assistant Program Director Lisa Brewer has wanted to produce since she started in Wiscasset.

We figure it will reach about 8,000 people, Brewer said. In addition to insertions in the newspaper, the brochure will be circulated in other ways as well.

Were sending one home with every student in the schools, she said.

The brochure replaces the bundles and bundles of flyers the center has been relying on to advertise its programs, a list that grows on a regular basis.

Brewer said the center produced nearly 40,000 copies of flyers for distribution, a number that will be significantly reduced in the future.

Every program we offer between now and December will be in there, she said.

Now that we have a brochure, its just a matter of plugging the new information into it for the next season. She added that the center will still use flyers for special events.

Also included in the booklet is a letter from Center Director Wayne Applebee, a complete list of the faculty and staff and member information, including a registration form.

Brewer said in the future the booklet will have ad space to support publication costs.

Heather Lutes, an incoming senior at Wiscasset High School involved in the school-to-work program was responsible for the bulk of the layout, Brewer said.

If I didnt have her working on it, the brochure would never have gotten out on time, she said.
