    The Way We Get By
    by Aron Gaudet

    We are hosting a lunch and learn session for Maine State Government employees. The session will feature a volunteer from the Maine Troop Greeters, a nonprofit organization of Veterans and community members who welcome U.S. service members arriving at and departing from Bangor International Airport. This is the group that is the focus of the documentary we would like to screen. The session will begin with the Emmy-nominated PBS film The Way We Get By, which highlights the Troop Greeters and the profound impact of their service. A Maine Troop Greeters volunteer will then share a 15-minute presentation about the organization’s history, mission, experiences greeting service members, and the meaning of this unique tradition of community service. The session will conclude with facilitated audience Q&A and conversation.
