It's always important to have a great local pizza spot, no matter where you live. Arundel House of Pizza is exactly that — but not only do they serve up delicious pizza with a unique rotating flavor of the month, they also serve up kindness in the community. 


The family behind Arundel House of Pizza is dedicated to helping their neighbors by hosting fundraisers for local charities and food drives for the Kennebunk pantry. For the Allaire family, it's not just about business, but community.


In this week's newsletter: Read about Arundel House of Pizza's honor from the Chamber of Commerce, the RSU 21 annual budget, and Icelandic art at the Brick Store Museum. 


As always, feel free to email me with story ideas and photos! 


Thanks for reading,
