Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society
The Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society are in desperate need of new members and need fresh ideas. 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 or $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 have candy bars on sale at Chandler Farms, Percy’s Auto Sales and the Mapleton Town Office. You can also get them from any member. They have only 30 cookbooks left. These will become collector items as there will not be another re-printing. They will start renting the hall in May until October. Please see any member for details. Further projects and events will be listed. Please support them. 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, ME 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.
