Between annual appeals\, communications\, virtual event planning and fundraising\, you’re overwhelmed. And now you’ve been tasked with writing a grant and you don’t know where to start. Our online grant writing program can help! \nThis interactive online professional development program will teach you the basics of seeing a grant through a full cycle—from inception to completion. You’ll learn how to get your organization ready to apply for grants\, where to find funders and funding opportunities\, how to write the components of a grant and how to submit a successful application that has all the information funders want to see. \nUsing case studies\, this program will focus on real-world grant applications. Comprehensive checklists and worksheets will guide you through every step of planning\, researching\, applying to and managing a grant—without missing a thing! You’ll also develop language specific to your organization that answers common grant questions. \nThe only thing you won’t learn in this program is how to celebrate securing a grant proposal. We figure you’ve got that one covered. 🙂 \nVisit our website for more information:\nhttps://dll.umaine.edu/grant-writing/ URL:/calendar/event/grant-writing-essentials-9/2026-10-20/ LOCATION:ME CATEGORIES:Conferences & Workshops,Lectures & Seminars,Online Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261021T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261021T200000 DTSTAMP:20260731T130856 CREATED:20260327T163410Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260727T150332Z UID:10007314-1792607400-1792612800@umaine.edu SUMMARY:What’s Next?

Through highlighting the nuance of high-level acrobatics\, audiences experience a heightened appreciation of the countless hours required to master the skills they are witnessing. \nThis is a love letter to our bodies and the amazing things they let us do every day. \nThis is an invitation to watch us work. \n“Once again gravity and other myths bring shock\, awe\, and delight.”\n– Glam Adelaide \n“Jaw-dropping”\n– The AU review \n“Regular gasps and squeals of disbelief from the audience members behind me\, and spontaneous applause from the audience throughout\, reassure me that it is not just me who thinks some of the skills on display are unbelievable. This is an almost mind blowing level of skill on display and what can be achieved with a dedicated pursuit of perfection.”\n– The Clothesline \n“The performance is a showcase of this company’s talent that extends way beyond acrobatics\, into visual storytelling\, movement\, and contemporary dance.”\n– Stage Whispers \n“I would give this 10 stars if I could. An absolutely mind blowing show from this home grown Adelaide company.”\n– Kids In Adelaide \n$42-$62\, Students at 91±¬ÁĎ and 91±¬ÁĎ Machias are eligible to receive one free ticket for this show.

TIME is an immersive journey through the nature of time – from daily rhythms of nature to its role in the structure of the Universe. It follows humanity’s attempts to measure time and explores modern physics\, where relativity\, entropy\, and spacetime challenge our intuitive understanding of the present. In the end\, the film turns to human perception\, inviting viewers to reflect on how we choose to spend our time.\n\n\nTickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults\, $8 for 91±¬ÁĎ Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $7 for children under 12.
