After the phenomenal success of the 2002 men of Maple Corner calendar, why on earth would we do another? We sold over half a million dollars worth of calendars and raised enough money to keep our community center alive and thriving into the future. With 39,000 Men of Maple Corner calendars sold worldwide last year and the Calais Community Center Building Fund full beyond their wildest dreams, what could they possibly do with more money?
The answer is give it to groups that need it. After numerous community meetings to determine the needs within the town of Calais, all of this year's calendar earnings will go to local area non-profits determined by the Community Center Board. Money will be earmarked to fix the Curtis Pond Dam, help the 3 local volunteer fire departments covering Calais, and many other community groups, from the emergency food shelf, to the Historical Society. A new group of brave men offered to put their butts on the line, and our loyal fans encouraged us to do it again. So, for the last time ever, we offer the 2003 Men Of Maple Corner! In the new edition you will find: 12 exceptional monthly photos of Maple Corner’s finest. We are including 4 extra pages with 34 additional behind the scenes photos.
See the work of restoring our community center, and learn its unique history. Read the story of the making of the Men of Maple Corner calendar and our meteoric rise to fame. You’ll learn of the Maple Corner Men for Decency protest group. And you’ll see more of your favorite men from last year.
