Notes From The Council

By the time you receive this calendar, Thanksgiving will be done. We hope you had a terrific holiday and that you still have some delicious leftovers. December on Chebeague is always a treat. We do the holidays right, with caroling in the woods, Santa’s visit to the Hall, Christmas trees on the wharves and docks, and beautiful lights and decorations

across the island. Perhaps the weather will get back to normal and provide us with some snow? If there is anything the Council can do to help, please let us know. We wish you a warm and happy holiday season.
