The Gingerbread House will now post news and information on Facebook

with all of your Facebook Friends as well.

        A new way to help the Gingerbread House has been set up with Don's Redemption Center in
        Norway.  It's easy!  Take your recyclable cans and bottles to Don's and tell him to give the proceeds
        to the Gingerbread House.   Every bit helps however small, and we appreciate your participation in
        this new effort to raise more funds for repairing the roof. 

The Friends of the Gingerbread House gratefully acknowledges the donations made to the Annual Fund during the current fund raising campaign.   Thanks very much to all who have contributed.   Your support will help us to repair and replace the roof on the Gingerbread House during this calendar year. 

We look forward to hearing from others who would like to support the rehabilitation of this important historic structure on Norway's Main Street.   There is a donate button on this website under the heading above "How You Can Help."  Or send contributions to the Friends of the Gingerbread House, P.O. Box 525, Norway, ME  04268.   We appreciate any and all help.

            Susan Denison, Norway, receives the stained glass mosaic
            from Albert Judd, a member of the board of directors of the
            Friends of the Gingerbread House.  Denison had the winning
            ticket in the Friends fund raffle that raised $500.00.   Proceeds
            will be used to repair the Gingerbread House roof.
            The mosaic was created and donated by Sue Moccia, another
            Friends of the Gingerbread House board member.

stands at the Gingerbread House booth at the annual DECA Fair
held at Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School.  Board members
and others contributed gingerbread items, including gingerbread
ornaments and gingerbread cookies, to sell.   This event raised
over $700.00 for the roof repairs to be done in the spring/summer
of 2013.

Volunteers Dick Joyall (right) and Otis Brown (left) are shown setting up materials and equipment to enclose the open end of the basement level of the Gingerbread House in Norway.   On a sunny day in late September Dick and Otis spent a few hours to make sure that Norway’s landmark structure will be prepared for the coming winter.   Although it is not all visually evident, progress continues on the rehabilitation of the Gingerbread House.  Soon all the wires will be redirected so that the new driveway can be excavated, and soon bids will be sought for replacing the shingles on the roof.

Scott Roberts from Norway recently completed this granite retaining wall.  Using
the old granite foundation pieces that were left onsite, this wall creates an area for
the new driveway.

The brick sheathing for the concrete foundation was also completed in August by Randy Wells from Turner.
