Notes From The Hall

Our Wednesday soup program is off to a great start owing to our faithful soup sippers and longtime soup crew headed by Ruth and bolstered by Ester, Deb, Jackie, and Wanda as well as newcomers Sharon, John, and Sarah. Soups for December and January are sponsored by Norma and Jeff Drew, your new neighbors on Cottage Road, who report that they are “souper” excited to join the Chebeague Island community. Of course, all the regulars are flocking to Susie’s Wednesday coffee hour for a cuppa Joe, a pastry, and the latest news. You may have noticed that the outside of the Community Center is now looking like new, with the trim repainted and the siding in place. Next spring

Erin will be landscaping the Hall sides of the building, and we can’t wait: no more scraggly crabgrass, sad bike rack, and drifts of gravel. As a reminder, please don’t let your children bike in the gulley between the boulders along the road: this practice damages the landscaping and creates a danger for passing motorists as the kids pop unexpectedly onto the road. This month the Hall plays host to the Whalers and school’s annual holiday party. We expect Lisa and her crew will once again transform the space into a winter wonderland. The Hall board would like to thank the community for its loyal support and wish you all a happy December!
