CASTINE—With the growth of the Castine Visitor Center since its inception in 2015, co-coordinators Jeannie Reed and Sue Macdonald are now in the process of hiring a director for the 2017 summer season.
The paid position is a first for the center, which has operated on a volunteer basis since opening right above the Castine Town Dock. Reed has been in charge of the volunteer schedule and has filled in on many shifts when a volunteer has not been available. Now, however, as both her daughters are expecting the birth of children this year, Reed has decided that she can no longer keep up in the capacity she has been.
“[Macdonald] has been such a driving force for this as well, but she’s also involved in so much in town that it became apparent to us that we needed someone to fill that position,” said Reed.
