The Recompense Fund held its annual celebration of Chebeague Island nonprofits in August at the Rec Center. The celebration opened with a standing ovation for founder Eldon Mayer , joined by his wife, TRF board member Betts Mayer. Highlights included: ● Land Trust: Executive Director Penny Asherman thanked the community for protecting plovers while reporting new conservation at the Hook and 18 protected acres. ● Community Church: Chaplain Victor Diaz said, “We are so grateful to be a part of this incredible community,” and reminded all the church is “interfaith and multi denominational.” CICA: President Bill McKenzie welcomed new island residents, including a child who “will be in our school for … years.” ● Fire & Rescue: Jeff Westcott said new volunteer gear is critical “where minutes and seconds count,” while urging more recruits. ● Library: Trustee President Pips Veazey said, “I couldn’t be happier and more proud of the library,” as plans for a new addition move forward. ● Sailing School: Director Jessica Fleck called it “a valuable part of our island community,” providing scholarships and lifelong friendships ● CTC: Vice President Susan Stranahan marked its 50th year, stressing, “As anyone who lives on Chebeague knows, barging is critical to island sustainability.” ● Scholarship Fund: Board President Sarah McKinnon said support “will directly impact our year-round families’ lives” as tuition costs rise. ● MacBeth: Carl Tubbesing praised South Pacific as the summer’s “centerpiece.” TRF President Toby Webb closed by thanking nonprofits, who “galvanize so much talent for the island good.” The Recompense Fund held its annual celebration of Chebeague Island nonprofits in August at the Rec Center.
