Our recent crisp weather is a sad reminder that the lazy days of summer will soon be behind us. As the kids head back to school, I will be headed back to J.P. Thornton’s in South Portland, where for some time I have met with constituents once a month to share a cup of coffee, ideas and concerns.

These coffee hours have been invaluable to me and other members of the South Portland legislative delegation as a chance to keep in touch with the constituents we serve and the issues that are important to them.

I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank Tom of J.P. Thornton’s for making them possible. I encourage everyone to take advantage of his generous offer and join me there, at Evans Street and Broadway, on the second Saturday of every month, from 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Rep. Jane Eberle
