The Buzz

Dear Maine Course Family, It is with a heavy heart, that I inform you that our beloved friend, coworker and amazing leader, Kim Dennis, passed away Thursday. Kim fought valiantly during her battle with cancer over the last two years – continuing to work during her treatments for the disease since 2022, including major surgery. A month ago, just before our Gala, Kim called me just to talk. She talked about how much she would miss seeing all of you at the Gala and the love that she had for all of you. We talked for close to an hour just about her life, her family and about her time with all of you, as part of the Maine Course Family. She sounded peaceful, accepting of her fate but acknowledging the love she was receiving from Mark, her husband, Josh and Joe, her sons and as well as her pride and joy, her two grandsons. We stayed in touch over the last two years and even during her last month. There wasn’t one time that she didn’t try to impact my life. She talked about how fortunate she was to have so many friends within Maine Course. Kim has and will continue to be an example of someone to emulate. Who hasn’t felt her love in some way, whether through a sweet text, email, phone call and of course one of her HUGS. She will be one of the kindest people we have ever known. There will be a private service for family in the next couple weeks. More details will follow as soon as we have them. Let’s try to live as Kim has shown us. And from the thousands of guests, associates and Maine Course family. Thank you, Kim, for your kindness, love and friendship.If you feel so inclined, you may share a kind word, story or how Kim impacted your life in the comments. We’ll grieve the loss of Kim, but we’ll remember what a gift she was. … See MoreSee Less

  • Boomers view on Millennials

    How many of us Boomers say things like…. “They don’t make employees like the old days. Work ethic is gone with Millennials. All kids do is look at their phones and don’t welcome customers.” Sound familiar? Well, in some cases this may be true. But I want to show you how millennials changed my mind…
