Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society
    The Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society would like volunteers to give an hour of their 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. Their meetings are the fourth Tuesday of the month from February through November. They are now renting the hall through October for showers, reunions, and birthday parties.
Mapleton Daze
    The Mapleton Daze committee is in the process of putting the annual Community Birthday Calendar together. If anyone who has not already been contacted is interested in purchasing a calendar and listing birthdays, anniversaries or memorials, please contact Peggy Brown at 764-1094 or Penny Nadeau at 768-7621. Calendars are $7 each with five listings; additional listings are 50 cents. Deadline to order calendars is Sept. 26.
