Because of the mass shooting in Lewiston last night, the Maine State Chamber of Commerce has postponed its annual dinner and awards ceremony that was schedule to take place Thursday night at the Holiday Inn By the Bay in Portland.
“The senseless, unspeakable scale of violence has taken loved ones away from families and punctured the tranquility of the famously tight Lewiston-Auburn community,” said Patrick Woodcock, president and CEO of the chamber, said in a press release. “Our attention, hearts, and prayers are with the victims of this tragedy, their loved ones, and the community of Lewiston and Auburn. We thank local, state, and federal law enforcement and join the entire State in mourning this devastating tragedy.”
The Maine State Chamber will reschedule the event and celebrate the awardees at an appropriate time.
