The 2007 Mapleton Daze Community calendars are now out. Unfortunately, the dates for Mapleton Daze weekend are printed incorrectly. Please note, the correct dates are June 28-July 1. We apologize for the error. We do have a few extra calendars. If anyone is interested, please call Debbie Sawyer at 764-1735.
The Mapleton Daze Committee can use a lot of support this year as their committee is rather small. If there is anyone interested in joining the committee, please call. We would love some new members and if anyone is willing to give two or three hours work to support them, please call Jim Burrill at 762-5131.
Birthdays
Birthday wishes go out to Bob Lewandowski, Anne Braley, Anna White, Bill Hay, Jerica Fox, Tanyn Sansom, Judy Kennard, Dana Ireland, Anna Trombley, Jeremy Bard, Anya Helen Brewer, Kara Embelton, Kristen Frost, Barry Wright and Joan Estsy.
Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society
The Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society is trying to get estimates to do the front hall. They need to raise about $1,000 more to complete the project. If anyone would like to volunteer to help with the project either to raise money or donate time, please contact any member.
The Society still has cookbooks for sale. They make great gifts for friends, relatives, and former citizens of Castle Hill. They are in the Town Office or from any member. Cookbooks are $7 each and contain over 175 recipes.
They are renting the hall from May to October only on a limited basis for family reunions, birthday parties, and showers. The price will be $100 and the $25 deposit will be returned if the hall is left clean. If interested or for more information, contact any member.
They are requesting that anyone who has knowledge of a veteran who served in the military between 1903 to the present to write or call Natalie Maynard, 2877 State Road, Castle Hill, Maine 04757 or 764-4878. They need names, dates, and any information you can give them so they can place the names on a sign or in a book in the future. The person must have been a resident of Castle Hill at the time of service.
They are searching for new members. Their meetings are held the fourth Tuesday of each month from February through November. Dues are $10 (working member), $15 (non-working member) and $100 (lifetime member). Please join us so we can keep the hall a center of our town.
