Notes from the Council

A 10-punch pool pass, a CRC gym membership, and a Water Taxi gift card are just a few of the prizes you could win just by getting a free health check! Come to the USM Health Screening Clinic at the Hall on Saturday April 7 from 9:00 a.m. to noon. This annual event is provided by the USM School of Nursing and Dr. Helge Reimann, dermatologist. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get a free “spring tune up” right here on Chebeague. It is not too early to start sending in those ideas for the 4 th of July Parade theme. The winner gets a free lobster roll, so get those wheels turning! Schoolhouse Seconds Thrift Shop is now accepting donations. Please call Christine Auffant or the Council office for more information. We are hoping to get some of the much needed repairs started this spring and are asking for volunteers to help. We all love the Thrift Shop because it is a great way to recycle, find wonderful bargains, help your neighbors, and have fun, but we need some serious carpentry help to keep the building a safe and pleasant home for this Island tradition. Please let Christine or any Council member, know if you are willing to lend a hand. The Council will be sending out membership forms for 2018 in early April. Our membership was up last year, and we hope to continue this growth. The Council Board and its volunteers give so much to this community. Being a Council member gives you an opportunity to support and participate in all the Council’s programs that help make our Island community the best, whether it is the Samaritan and Fuel funds, Chedemption, or the 4 th of July festivities. So, please join your neighbors and friends and become a member of the Island Council!
