Chebeague Island Council Calendar September 2025 Issue #9

Christine Auffant

The deadline for submissions for the October issue is noon on September 20. Advertising rates are as follows: full page, $80, ½ page, $40; ¼ page, $20; 4-line classified, $10; 6 to 8 line classified, $15. Each submission should include the intended publication date, size wanted, and the number of months the ad should run. All ads must be paid for at the time of submission. School House Seconds had a particularly good season. So many really great do nations and happy shoppers. Christine Auffant, the Council’s Program Manager, is quick to say that such success is thanks to Caroline Schultz and her team of hardworking, faithful, volunteers who show up every week to sort and fold and fold and sort, offer fashion tips, and answer all the questions - how does this work? can I use this in the oven?, do you have change for a 50? can you hold this for me until next week? – with a smile! And we are sure, knowing the mon ey earned will help with the Fuel Fund, all their hard work will bring smiles all winter long. Thank You!
