Half a world away from her home in Mongolia, Saingerel stood on the patio of the York Harbor Reading Room Monday night and took in the view of the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of York Harbor. “This is just amazing,” said Saingerel, who has a single name. “When I hear the surf, it calms me down.” “Sainaa,” her nickname, a student studying international trade at the University of Mongolia, is spending the summer working as a housekeeper in York Beach, on a J-1 visa. She and about 50 other foreign workers attended the York Seasonal Worker Program Welcome Party at the Reading Room. Read more.

2019: Date to be Determined
As the summer season nears the end, the Seasonal Workers are invited to a final group gathering before they begin to plan for returning to their homes over the weeks to follow. Seasonal Workers may ask for time off or to leave work early, but they are welcome to come any time between 6 and 7:30 pm rain or shine. It is always a fun time!
Organized by the York Seasonal Worker Program, an all-volunteer organization.
