Notes From The Council

The Council membership notices are in the mail. Please join us in support of the Council’s efforts to help the Community we all love - from Thrift Shop to Recycling, Health Care to the Calendar, Fuel Assistance to the 4 th of July Parade, while supporting Chebeague Cares and the Island Meals on Wheels. Now is the time to check to make sure your tetanus shot is up to date. Please contact the Council at 846-4988 if it is time to get that updated.

We are all looking forward to the opening of the Community Center. The Council has some great Programs planned and we will have a “coffee and muffins” hour for everyone to meet Elizabeth Doughty, the Island’s own Physical Therapist! We will have the Foot Care Clinics back this summer and, of course, Dr Rybka will be here soon (June 23 rd )). C.D.C. guidelines must still be followed and we are confident we can find a way to stay safe and still continue to bring services to the Island Community.
