Notes From The Council

As another year comes to an end, the Council would like to thank everyone for their support. Winter on the Island is calm and beautiful. Some think it is the nicest time to be here. Once again, you recognize everyone on the boat, the number of cars on the road dwindles, you actually know who you are waving to, and we all seem to appreciate the less hectic pace. The community comes together in a special way. The challenges of life on a Maine island in the winter often bring out the best in us. Whether it is that extra help from the CTC deck hand on the

snowy ramp, the neighbor who plows out your mailbox, or the volunteer Soup Ladies whose hot soup warms our bodies and wards off winter isolation. But winter can be cold, grim, and lonely too. The cost of staying warm and safe has increased dramatically. As a result, the Fuel Assistance Program is seeing a significant increase in calls for help. Donations to the Fuel Fund are needed. Please send your donation to the Council at 247 South Road. Neighbor helping neighbor is who we are. Thank you.
