Now that it is time for our kids to go back to school after one of the most beautiful summers in recent memory, some local business think it's important to remember places where back to school is not business as usual. MaineLine is a new non-profit coalition of Maine businesses founded to provide a direct response to disasters like the earthquake in Haiti. They are hosting their first annual celebrity golf tournament, Do Good with Your Game, on Monday, September 13, 2010, at Nonesuch River Golf Club in Scarborough. All proceeds will directly benefit rebuilding efforts in Haiti, which include building ten new school/community centers over the next year. Darcy Pierce of Envoy, who is coordinating the effort, has posted  videos from a recent trip to Haiti on his YouTube channel. You can register online, and if you run a local company and are looking for a way to help, please consider joining MaineLine.
