The Loring Military Heritage Center

We are the Loring Heritage Center and we are located

at 131 Cupp Road, in Limestone Main

on the former Loring Air Force Base which is

now called The Loring Commerce Center.

We are a Federally Registered Non-Profit

Organization with the Internal Revenue Service

under Section 501© 3.

We applied in the Summer of 2005 to the Loring

Commerce Center for a building on base to

open a Center and our request was granted,

nevertheless, we still have to pay for insurance, fuel, water and electricity along with several quarterly and annual fees, plus building upkeep. To protect our displays, the building must be heated during the Winter here in Northern Maine, as you know, and fuel cost is a large expense.

Our Center is located in the former bank building and we have items on display from the year 1948 when Loring Air Force Base was first built, to 1994 when the base was officially closed. The populations served is former Loring Air Force Base military personnel, their spouses and dependents and civilians who worked on the base as Civil Servants. Most of our display items are mainly donated and represent the 42 nd Bombardment Wing (host wing) and the numerous other squadrons that supported it.

It's Brownie Ala Mode time!

The Brownie Ala Mode sale will take place on Friday Feb 12. If your local and would like to order any let me know. They are 2.50 each and really good size. We deliver to Caribou and PI.

We are accepting donations of mix if you would like to do that. We also need help. We usually start around 7am and go to about 2pm. We need brownie makers, cookers, putting together and delivery. If you can help in any way it would be great. Please contact Cuppy if you can help.

All orders need to be in by Feb 5th if possible. This helps Mary Ellen do her tallies!

P. S. The brownies we use are the dark chocolate from Duncan Hines.
