Notes From The Council

Summer is finally here! There are so many fun things going on, Fairs, Music, Celebrations, and Beach Days! With all this activity comes more traffic, cars, bikes, golf carts, scooters, walkers, runners – our narrow roads are crowded. Please slow down, stay on the correct side of the road, single file, and stay alert for the unexpected. Chedemption is in full swing, and the bottles and cans are adding up. Island nonprofits can sign up to volunteer for a week and share in the full year’s proceeds. Last year each nonprofit received all most $600.00! Not bad for a few hours work. And the best part is keeping all those cans and bottles out of the waste stream. Everyone can help. Please call Ann Thaxter, 846-3274, for more information. School House Seconds opened early this year. Hooray! Our volunteers report the shelves and tables are overflowing with a huge selection of amazing bargains. All proceeds go to support the Council’s programs including Fuel Assistance, health services, the Wellness Center, Chedemption, community mental health support, Soup Lunch, Flu Clinics, Health Fairs, 4 th of July Parades, the Calendar, and more. Look for the School House Seconds volunteers in their new bright orange School House Seconds

They so appreciated the warm welcome from the Chebeague community, especially the delicious lunch provided by the Ladies Aid. They will be featured in a documentary film due for production later this summer. Perhaps some of the footage from their Chebeague performance will be included…
