Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society
The Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society has cookbooks left to sell. These will be retired once all are gone. Call any member if you would like to purchase one.
They would like you to 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. Working member is $10 per year, $15 for non-working member or $100 for a lifetime membership.
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.
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 call 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.

DEBBIE’S DAYCARE in Castle Hill participated in April’s National Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Month. The Family, Career and Community Leaders of America group at Presque Isle High School, under the direction of Laurie Moulton, was collecting stuffed animals and new security blankets for children who are removed from unsafe situations by police and social workers. The daycare families donated over 70 items for this cause. Shown here with some of the toys are, from left: Brayden Boulier, Maddie Buzza, Samantha Boulier, Amanda Winslow, Katelyn Amero and Morgan House. These toys and blankets will be distributed to agencies in our local area.
