Chebeague Island Council Calendar May 2026 Issue #5

The Hall has been our gathering spot for Soup and companionship all winter. The Soup Makers have fed our bodies and lifted our spirts. Thank you, Ruth and Sarah, for organizing all the volunteers who contributed wonderful homemade soups and desserts week after week. About the Calendar The Calendar is published monthly by the Chebeague Island Council. It is available on-line at Chebeague Island News (www.chebeague.org) or www. chebeagueislandcalendar.com and delivered to every active mail box on the island. The Calendar welcomes submissions from its readers, including letters and thank you notes, but it cannot publish anything that is political in nature, libelous, or obscene. All submissions should include the author’s name and contact information. Without exception, the deadline for submissions is noon on the 20 th day of the month preceding publication. Submissions and ad copy may be mailed (247 South Road), left at the Council office (on 247 South Road) or emailed (chebeagueislandcouncil@gmail.com) and sent as attachments (.doc; no pdfs) or included in the body of the text. Images and photographs should be sent in a .jpg, .jpeg, or .rtf format. Please do not use the old email address at as this is an inactive account. As a courtesy and space permitting, island nonprofits are given up to a free half page each month to publish their news. Any such submissions exceeding a half page will be charged at the usual rate. All submissions become the property of the Chebeague Island Council, which reserves the right to edit them for length and clarity. Submissions that are not time sensitive may be held until there is enough space to publish them. Additional information about submissions is available at www.chebeagueislandcalendar.com. Advertising rates are as follows: full page, $80, ½ page, $40; ¼ page, $20; 4-line classified, $10; 6 to 8 line classified, $15.

Can you help the Fire/Rescue Department this summer? This summer, a per diem EMT will require housing 1-2 nights per week to assist our island rescue team. We are looking at a range of possibilities… a rental cottage, an ADU, or a private room. Please contact Chief Ralph Munroe at (207) 712-3827 or Denise Hamilton (207) 383-6107 to discuss.
