Notes From Council

The Council is happy to say that Chedemption and the Baquettes are back! All those cans and bottles are going off to the mainland using the CLINK Program. The Chebeague non-profits will continue to benefit and returnable cans and bottles will be kept out of the waste stream. If you would like to help Chebeague non-profits while working towards keeping the Island the beautiful place we all love, please call the Council at 846- 4988 and let Ann Thaxter know you want to join in. There is still a lot of confusion about where, who, when, and how to

get the COVID vaccine. The Maine CDC is moving through the eligible groups as quickly as possible. The Council volunteers are available to help provide transportation for those Islanders who need help getting to their appointment. Please call the Council office, 846-4988. If we are not there, please leave a message with your name, best number to reach you, and we will call you back. If you or a family member are unable to leave the Island, please call and we can work with your doctor to help arrange a way for you to get vaccinated.
