Notes From The Council

Chedemption has been using the CLINK program for the last few months and it is running well. Thanks to all the Islanders bringing their returnable bottles and cans and all the volunteers that keep this effort running smoothly - keeping returnables out of the waste stream and supporting Island non-profits with the money earned. Watch for more information about School House Seconds donations and the Grand Opening. It may be a little later than past years and will operate a little differently, but treasures will

be found and the bargains will return! The Wellness Center is very pleased to announce the addition of Coveside Physical Therapy to the list of services we provide. She joins the Maine Health’s Nurses, Dr Rybka, Dr Larson, the Health Screening teams, the Tooth Protectors, and the Foot Care Nurse in providing on island health care. Elizabeth will see folks at home or at the Wellness Center.
