AUBURN — Auburn Art Club members will create their own Christmas program at 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 6, at the United Methodist Church, Park Avenue.
Beginning with a reading of “Christmas in Maine” by Maine author Robert P. Tristram Coffin, the club members will sing songs of the season, accompanied by member Dot Murray at the piano.
Chairman of the meeting will be Fern Desjardin, with Carol Seward and Melanie Ness, all of Auburn. They will read “Christmas in Maine” and provide holiday refreshments and decorations.
Coffin wrote “Christmas in Maine” from a child’s viewpoint. Born in 1892, Coffin lived his childhood years on his father’s “salt water farm” on Great Island, Harpswell.
A graduate of Bowdoin College, he became a Rhodes Scholar and Pulitzer Prize winning author. After teaching at other colleges, Coffin returned to Bowdoin where he taught literature and creative writing for 20 years. A World War I veteran, Coffin published “Christmas in Maine” in 1941.
