Charles F. Allen Recognition Luncheon held September 23, 2011

The Charles F. Allen Society was established in 1995 to recognize alumni and friends who share their intent to support the University of Maine through their will or other form of planned or deferred gift.

Every other year, the University and its partners, the University of Maine Foundation, University of Maine Alumni Association, Maine State 4-H Foundation and Pulp and Paper Foundation, host a luncheon to recognize and thank these members. This year, UMaine's 19th President, Paul Ferguson,welcomed Charles F. Allen Society members and friends at the luncheon  held on Friday, September 23, 2011 in the McIntire Room of Buchanan Alumni House on the Orono campus.

Edward Keefe '86, Charles F. Allen Society member, was the guest speaker along with Heather LeDoux, a scholarship recipient. Following the program, guests enjoyed a performance by the Maine Steiners.
