Doris Anne Beaulieu

Back in 1981, Doris became a certified community advocate, helping her community, from Tiny Todd group leader raising funds to benefit low-income kids and helping low-income families in areas that she was trained in. In 1984, she received a certificate for her volunteer service from the University Of Maine co-operative service—all about helping kids learn to cook and have proper nutritional values.

Doris then became the treasurer of the Task Force on Human Needs and became a member of the board of directors. She was also the vice president of Maine Association of Independent Neighborhoods, working on pieces of legislation to help the community, as well as the vice president of the American Legion Auxiliary in Lisbon Falls, helping vets and raising funds. Doris then spent many years doing voluntary work in schools and receiving many awards, starting with Head Start and then three different schools. She made costumes for plays, published kids’ personal classroom books, participated in fluoride treatment for one whole school weekly, and did her favorite classroom crafts. She would do crafts for holidays and weekly crafts on the learned subject of the week to help what they had learned to stick a bit better.
