On Saturday, February 11, 2012, the Cumberland County Lincoln Club will hold
its annual Lincoln Dinner. These dinners are held every year, around the country, in
honor of our 16th President and one of the Republican Party’s great heroes, Abraham
Lincoln. Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, as well as Governor Paul LePage,
Secretary of State Charlie Summers, Attorney General Bill Schneider and State Treasurer
Bruce Poliquin have been invited.
Local historian Lynda Sudlow will be the featured speaker. Ms. Sudlow is a
resident of North Yarmouth, and recently retired from the Directorship of the Falmouth
Memorial Library. She is a Civil War historian, and the author of “A Vast Army of
Women”, about women from Maine who volunteered in support of the Union Army. Ms.
Sudlow’s topic will be the changing role of women during the Civil War and President
Lincoln’s changing perception of that role.
The dinner will be held at the Italian Heritage Center located on Outer Congress
Street behind the Westgate Shopping Center in Portland. There will be a cocktail hour
with music by jazz pianist Tate Gale beginning at 6:00 pm. Dinner starts at 7:00. Tickets
are $30 per person and can be purchased by contacting any of the members of the
committee or there will be a limited amount of tickets at the door. (Halsey Frank 712-
