LEWISTON — The Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce will hold its May breakfast at 7 a.m. Thursday, May 10, at the Kora Shrine Center, 11 Sabattus St.

Mark E. Hews, MPA, president of M E Hews and Company, LLC, will be the speaker on the topic “Promoting Civility and Respect — Pledge, Engage, Organize.”

Revive Civility is a grassroots initiative committed to helping foster an open exchange of ideas and expression of values that will lead to better problem-solving, more effective government, and inclusive and engaged communities. The initiative encourages people to make a personal commitment to improve civility and respect in their own lives, engage elected officials and community leaders to do the same. Maine Revives Civility is a project of the National Institute of Civil Discourse.

The event is sponsored by Hampton Inn by Hilton, CBS 13/FOX 23, the Kora Shrine Center and Maine’s Big Z. Catered by Dad’s Place.
