Island Housing Update!

Have You Heard? The Chebeague Island Community Association (CICA) is building a 2 family year round rental home at 553 South Road. This effort will help provide stable year round housing for our community. The culvert is in and progress is underway to clear the lot so we can be ready to install a well, septic system, and foundation before the house is delivered to the island. Establishing Your House's Legacy Would you like your house to contribute to the year-round sustainability of the island? If you'd be willing to consider donating or selling your home once you move out, in order to ensure that it will always be able to be occupied by year-round individuals and families, reach out to us at alaskamckenzie@gmail.com so we can have a conversation with you. The 2024 Macbeth season came to a glorious climax in early September with Tyler Putnam and Sarah Nordin’s breathtaking production of Georges Bizet’s opera , Carmen. The rapturous applause and shouts of “Bravo” and “Brava” were a fitting conclusion to another highly successful MacBeth summer. The MacBeth Steering Committee is abidingly grateful to so many Chebeaguers who help us bring such wonderful artistry to our community. Our individual donors, the Recompense Fund and the Raymond Family Foundation are incredibly generous and supportive. Many folks provide housing, meals and transportation for the musicians. We are blessed to be able to use the Chebeague Community Church with its wonderful piano and acoustics as the venue for our indoor performances. We are grateful to the Chebeague Island Community Association- -especially Bob Earnest-- for serving as Macbeth’s fiscal agent, to Bev Johnson whose chebeague.org plays an indispensable role in getting the word out about the concerts, to Chip Emery for maintaining the Island Events calendar and for offering his sound equipment and technical advice and to the Chebeague Island Library for being an enthusiastic partner for the children’s programs. Finally, we are grateful to everyone who attended this year’s performances and responded to the music with such energy and good will. See you next season! Thank You
