Statistics show that twice as many retirees are moving into Maine as are leaving, and as former governor Angus King said, these ?low-maintenance residents with a steady income flow? represent a golden opportunity for Maine. Of course, looking at it the other way, Maine offers these retirees many golden opportunities as well. When Vicki Doudera?s first book, Moving to Maine, was published, she quickly started getting feedback indicating that many readers would welcome a book written specifically for people coming to Maine to retire. Vicki was ready and willing to rise to the challenge, and the result is Where to Retire in Maine. Organized geographically, Where to Retire in Maine examines 21 towns in depth, providing information on housing options, health care availability, transportation, safety, traffic, churches, fitness centers, assisted living, recreational and volunteer opportunities, shopping, weather, educational and cultural resources, and more. The featured towns all stand out as proven retirement destinations themselves, but they also characterize and serve as focal points for their larger regions. Residents and town officials helped provide the information specific to their towns, and first-person quotes from retirees to the area round out this informative and user-friendly guide.
