May 2020 • Issue #5 • Chebeague Island Council Calendar

On the Cover Spring blooms all over Chebeague this month and even with the island staying safe with quarantine and social distancing, we can see the signs. This month’s cover features the daffodils blooming outside of the Island Commons, where some of our island’s most vulnerable and beloved members reside under the watchful eye of the dedicated and steadfast staff. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone on the island and missing the island this month. We will get through this together and see you all soon. Be safe and stay home. About the Calendar The Calendar is published monthly by the Chebeague Island Council. Available on-line at Chebeague Island News ( www.chebeague.org ) or www. islandcalendar.weebly.com and mailed to every occupied residence on the island, for a small additional fee, it can also be delivered by first-class mail to Island Council members who are off island at the time of publication. The Calendar welcomes submissions from its readers, including letters and thank you notes, but it cannot publish anything that is political in nature, libelous, or obscene.All submissions should include the author’s name and contact information.
