In this week’s Post we feature a story about the A Child is Missing Alert Program (ACIM) and how Kennebunk and surrounding communities are using this technology to find not only missing children, but missing elderly residents, students and disabled people.
    We didn’t know Kennebunk had access to and has used this technology, which in reality, is a good thing because it means they don’t have to use it often.
    The way it works is the organization will send telephone alert systems to the community where a missing person is reported. Cell phones and those with unlisted numbers are not included in the organization’s database, but an individual can add their phone numbers by visiting www.achildismissing.org.
    With more people getting rid of their landline telephones, we encourage residents to add their cell phone numbers to this database – a person’s safety could depend on it.
    On another note, check out the Brick Store Museum’s newest exhibit, Faces of the Kennebunks, by photographer Liam Crotty. The Kennebunks are full of unique people who have gone both noticed and unnoticed in the community. This is your chance to get to know who they are and if we’re lucky, the exhibit will a regular one at the museum featuring different residents each time.
