LEWISTON — The 2021-22 season of the Great Falls Forum continues Thursday, April 21, with Amy Smith, founder and executive director of Healthy Homeworks. Smith’s topic is “Falling in Love with Lewiston.” T
The free program is open the public, and will be from noon to 1 p.m., streamed on Zoom and the Lewiston Public Library Facebook page.
A decade ago, Smith was living in her Yarmouth, her home of 20 years, watching the youngest of her three children get ready to graduate from high school. Now she lives in the heart of Lewiston’s Tree Streets, managing 22 affordable rental units, serving on the Board of Directors of Avesta Housing and Healthy Neighborhoods, and managing two nonprofits: Healthy Homeworks and Lewiston Rowing.
Smith will share her story about falling in love with housing in general, and Lewiston in particular.
Smith graduated from Dartmouth College in 1984 and worked in the software industry for 32 years defining, designing and delivering technical solutions to critical business problems. In Yarmouth, she managed various booster groups and created a high school rowing program. In 2016, she transferred her management and design skills to creating durable, quality affordable housing, and focused her philanthropic work on creating a parallel organization where she could invest in the community. In 2021 she brought her love of rowing to Androscoggin by way of Riverfest 1.0.
The Zoom link will be posted to the LPL website and Facebook before the event. For more information, contact the Lewiston Public Library at 513-3135 or LPLReference@lewistonmaine.gov.
