The Islesboro Forum welcomes you to its Summer 2024 season. We are pleased to offer six outstanding programs on the six consecutive Sunday evenings beginning on July 14 and continuing through August 18, 2024. The one-hour programs start at 5:30 pm at the Islesboro Community Center. We invite all islanders to attend and participate interactively in the Question and Answer portion of the program that follows the speaker’s presentation.

The Islesboro Forum’s expenses, which include modest expenditures for technical production, website maintenance, room rental at the Islesboro Community Center, publicity and ferry or water taxi travel by our speakers, are covered through the generosity of donors like yourselves who value the Forum’s contribution to island life.
