Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society
They are having a bakeless bake sale. If you have cooked for them or bought from them in the past, please consider donating the amount you would spend cooking or buying. You can send donations to Sherri Guerrette, 32 Braley Heights, Mapleton, Maine 04757.
The Society is looking for new members. Please give them an hour of your time once a month to help keep the building operating. The fund-raisers they have are just paying their expenses and leave them with little else to do their projects. If you have enjoyed voting, going to town meetings, their suppers, having a reasonable hall to rent right in your own town, and other events, please consider helping to keep their organization going for future years.
Their meetings are the fourth Tuesday of the month from February through November. They are now renting the hall from May through October for showers, reunions, and birthday parties. Please see any member for details.
