Thank You

Tea & Talk

Dear Friends and Neighbors: We would like to thank everyone for their condolences and help after the loss of our mother, Frances Todd. We greatly appreciate all the cards, calls, and emails. We are most grateful to those who helped with the funeral and reception. Barrie Shepherd’s service was perfect—just what she wanted. Thanks to Sally Tubbesing for the lovely music, all those who made food donations for the reception, those who lent us their vehicles, CTC, and the church. A special thank you to Doug Damon, Susan Stranahan, Sharon Bowman, Ruth Slagle, and Beth Wiles for their work at the reception. Most of all thanks to Donna Damon, Bink Boxer, and Lynne Priest for organizing the lovely reception—Frances would have approved! Danny, Carol, and Andrew Todd and Families

Fellow Islanders: There is so much going on on the island, especially from now until Columbus Day, and yet, here I go proposing yet another activity: Tea and Talk. We all have such vivid but differing memories of our times here, and I believe they contribute to who we have become as individuals. Don’t we love to hear other Chebeaguers’ stories? Most fun for me are those that go back to just before my time here and make me imagine how it was. How about gathering, initially at my house—hopefully on my porch looking out over Hamilton Beach—for Tea and Talk some afternoon? No pressure about content or end results, just an opportunity to suspend our busy lives for a moment and listen to, remember, and enjoy the people in this unique community. I would also like to bring those stories and pictures to the pages of the Calendar! Let me know whether you are interested in such an endeavor! Junk Vehicles and Scrap-Metal Collection Dear Fellow Islanders: Due to drastic changes in the recycling markets, I have had to revise my policies regarding scrap-metal collection and the disposal of unwanted vehicles. Currently, I can only accept non-ferrous metals, heavy iron or steel, and outboard motors. All other metals should be taken to the Transfer Station. I can still remove unwanted or junk vehicles for free if they can be driven safely and for a donation (to cover expenses) if they need to be towed. Even if you cannot afford to pay, I will still remove the vehicle, in an effort to keep our island clean and green. Please call me before you try to recycle the vehicle yourself, as I can get a better price and save you the hassle of towing, barging, and delivery. As always, any profits—which remain extremely low— will be donated to eligible island organizations. Kim Boehm 846-2468 islndelt@juno.com Marty Trower 846-4961 martytrower@chebeague.net
