Come celebrate one year of Original Birth Certificates for Maine! We have lots to celebrate!  Over 700 people have applied to get Original Birth Certificates, allowed in the great state of Maine by the passing of LD 1084 in 2007.  We have come so far since January 2, 2009, when Original Birth Certificates were once again accessible to all Maine-born citizens!

We will have a welcome reception at Noon, with documentary films showing throughout the afternoon. 

This is a free event, though donations will be accepted.

Our Schedule:

Noon - Welcome Reception
12:30pm - Showing of "The Triumvirate", by Jean Strauss
1:00pm - Showing of "Vital Records", by Jean Strauss
