Wolfe Public Relations Expands, Moves to 44 Exchange Street

PORTLAND, Maine (March 15, 2000) -- Wolfe Public Relations, Inc. has expanded, moving this week to offices at 44 Exchange Street, Suite 200, in Portland's Old Port. The firm provides media relations, public relations planning, and press release writing and distribution services to more than 15 New England businesses and organizations. The firm will keep the same phone number, (207) 775-5115.

Established in 1993, the firm's expansion is due in part to its recent launch of a new division, Wolfe News Wire, an Internet-based news wire service. Located at www.wolfenews.com, the service posts the full text of news releases of major companies represented by the firm.

Those companies, organizations and events include:

*Martin's Point Health Care, Maine's largest non-profit primary care organization

*Peoples Heritage Financial Group, a $13.9 billion holding company
*Peoples Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race, an internationally acclaimed event set in Cape Elizabeth, Maine

*B2Bexplorer.com, a worldwide business-to-business web site headquartered in Westbrook, Maine
*Michael A. Liberty and Cambridge Associates Holdings Corp., prominent Maine businessman, entrepreneur and president of CAHC, a Massachusetts company
*Piper Shores, Maine's first "life care" retirement community being built in Scarborough
*Conifer Industries, owner of more than 15 KFCs and KFC/Taco Bell combination stores in Maine and N.H.

*Nelson & Small, a 63-year-old New England company
*Alpha One, serving more than 6,000 persons with disabilities each year

Formerly located at 178 Middle Street, Wolfe Public Relations doubled its space with the move. The firm is owned by Beryl Wolfe, a former newspaper reporter and congressional press aide with more than 15 years in public relations. Her husband, Jason Wolfe, a former award-winning reporter at the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram and the Lewiston Sun Journal, also is a principal at the firm.

As part of the expansion, the firm also is in the process of adding new staff.
