The Maine China Network has much to offer. We hold a monthly forum to discuss events, trends, plans for action, and ways of getting involved. We foster and sponsor cultural events, celebrating the main Chinese festivals, so that our members, our neighbors, and the many visiting Chinese students can enjoy the sights, sounds, music, and food that China has to share. We maintain a database of people and organizations relevant to those seeking goods and services in Asia and/or New England. Chinese visitors and students in our area find it particularly helpful. We keep our members informed through periodic email broadcasts. We work with and link to other Maine and Chinese affiliated groups. We provide various translation/interpretation services, including but not limited to Mandarin-English, Cantonese-English, French-English, German-English, in various forms such as in-person, phone, video or written. 我们的服务：维护跟中国有关或有兴趣的各界人士的数据库；为您指路，帮您跟有经验的人士建立联系；每月会议,分享信息；促进与在缅因、美国和中国的各方组织之间的合作; 提供各种形式的多种语言翻译服务，包括普通话 – 英语，广东话 – 英语，法语 – 英语，德语 – 英语，形式可以是面对面口译，电话或视频翻译，和笔译等。
