Locals and visitors are invited to join together Sunday evening, Aug 12, to be part of a WAVE of LOVE. On the one-year anniversary of Charlottesville, we will rally against hate and in counteraction to the white supremacist rally being held in Washington, DC.

We're excited to be joining with many other area restaurants to decrease our collective impact on the environment. Galyn's has used paper bags and paper take-out products for a long time. Last year we switched to paper straws and started recycling plastics, metals, and glass. This year we've gotten a new solar array on-line and have begun sending a portion of our food waste to Agri-cycle to become bio-fuel. Thanks to A Climate to Thrive and especially Galyn's staff member Martha B. Higgins for organizing this island-wide initiative.

Stop by on Memorial Day -- we'll be remembering our friend Charlie Keating and supporting the Navy SEAL Foundation and the Charlie Humphrey Keating IV Foundation.

Great opportunity tomorrow, May 22, at the YWCA MDI to learn about how Ranked Choice Voting works. Two sessions -- 5:30 and 7 pm. EVERYONE gets to vote on Question 1 on June 12, not just primary voters. A YES vote on Question 1 means you want Maine to continue with Ranked Choice Voting.

May 16, 1986 Galyn’s opened its doors and was officially born. Thanks for 33 great years so far! 🥂🍻🎉🎈🎁🎊🎂

All mothers are working mothers, but we really appreciate the ones who choose to work at Galyn's, too. Thank you Nikeisha, Maxine, Adian, Jackie, Jeannie, Kim, Tonya, Whitney, Kate, Val, and Tannalee for all you do to keep our guests satisfied and your families happy.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo we're thanking Maine's migrant workers with a donation to Maine Mobile Health Program. http://www.mainemobile.org "Maine Mobile Health Program is our state’s only farmworker health organization. Our collaborative model involves folks who carry the commitment to make a difference in the lives of Maine’s farmworkers. By linking agricultural workers to care and services, we aim to reduce health disparities and inequities of access for this workforce. Putting fruits and vegetables on ALL of our tables is not only vital work; it positively impacts our collective health."

The Mother March is event for everyone to show their commitment to Peace, Love, and the Planet. It will a great day to spend in Acadia and connect in solidarity with folks who share a passion for creating a better world. A march through downtown Bar Harbor begins at 1 pm followed by a rally on the Village Green featuring music and speakers. Saturday, May 12, 1 – 3 pm on the Bar Harbor Village Green.

Rainy days are the best dessert days, especially when the desserts are half-price and all the proceeds benefit the YWCA MDI. What's your favorite?
