Castle Hill Grange Hall Preservation Society
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.
Dues are $10 per year (working member), $15 (non-working member) or $100 (lifetime membership). Their meetings are the fourth Tuesday of the month from February through November. They are now renting the hall through the month of October for showers, reunions, and birthday parties. Please see any member for details.
Officials 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.

The regular meeting of the Mapleton Chapman Castle Hill Senior Citizens was held Monday, Oct. 15 with 17 members present. Chick McPherson asked the blessing on the food. President Marie led in the flag salute and the Lord’s Prayer. A get-well card was signed for Rhoda Wells and a sympathy card signed for Christine Dicker, who recently lost her son, Larry, after a long illness. Becky gave an update on Rhoda. The Secretary and Treasurers’ reports were read and accepted. It was decided to eat at the Pizza House in Mapleton Oct. 29. In the absence of Rhoda, Millie volunteered to call and remind members of that date. “Happy Birthday” was sung to those members with October birthdays. They are Grenda Stephenson, Laura Carter-Giles and Charles Putnam. Becky entertained with more of her funny stories.
The Mapleton Chapman Castle Hill Senior Citizens meets every Monday – except the fifth Monday – at Mapletree Estates.
