Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Susan Collins welcomed Donnalina “Lina” Michaud of Augusta, the 2019 Maine Mother of the Year, to her Washington, D.C., office. Lina was visiting our nation’s capital to attend the 84th National Convention of American Mothers.
“I was delighted to have the opportunity to congratulate Lina on being named the 2019 Maine Mother of the Year,” said Senator Collins. “We had a great discussion about the work Lina is doing in her community to ensure that students from lower-income families have the school supplies they need at the beginning of the academic year.”
Lina is a graduate of Cony High School and later attended University of Maine at Augusta, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Services. She joined Le Club Calumet in 2005 as part of the first group of female members to be initiated.

Lina also serves as the ABC Quilts coordinator for the Maine Chapter of American Mothers.
