Right now, as the state prepares for a new governor and once-in-a-generation education decisions, most Mainers will have little real say in what comes next.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Maine Citizens’ Assembly on Education Priorities is designed to change that — bringing together Mainers&nbsp;to directly shape what they want from the state’s next leaders and in their schools.&nbsp;
Hosted by the University of Southern Maine’s <a href="https://mepri.maine.edu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">MEPRI</a> and <a href="https://usm.maine.edu/cepare/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">CEPARE</a>, the Assembly will take place June 16-18 in Bangor. Residents can apply through a lottery system (16+), with selected participants receiving a $750 stipend and other support to attend.&nbsp;

Aura

Welcome to the high-energy, emotionally charged dance party inspired by the tension, obsession, and enemies-to-lovers chaos of Heated Rivalry. Built around forbidden attraction, late-night adrenaline, and messy feelings you don’t know what to do with, this party lives in the space between competition and connection.
Expect to hear the show’s soundtrack alongside music from the 2010s that moves between aggressive, heart-pounding energy and dramatic, emotional release. This is a night for side-eye, screaming lyrics at strangers, locking eyes across the room, and letting the tension live a little too long.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143129/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
