Coats for Kids
    The Presque Isle FFA Chapter is currently collecting winter coats for children and teens in our communities. If you have a clean coat or jacket in good condition and would like to donate it, please contact Aaron Buzza at aaron.buzza@sad1.org or at 764-7725. Donations can also be dropped off at the Presque Isle Regional Career and Technical Center (located behind the high school near the Superintendent’s Office), at the Main Office of the high school, and at the SAD 1 School Farm. Donations are being accepted until Nov. 20. The students of the Presque Isle High School FFA Chapter thank you, in advance, for your support!
Pageants Sponsor Needed
    The Mapleton Ladies Extension regrets to inform the communities of Mapleton, Castle Hill and Chapman that we have unanimously voted to resign from the sponsorship of the Little Miss, Junior Miss and Miss Mapleton pageants. This was a hard decision to come to, but as our group is getting smaller, it has become too demanding on our members.
    We would like to extend our gratitude to all the supporters over the years. It is our hope that some other organization or individual(s) will be interested in picking up the sponsorship of the pageants so that our towns can be represented in the Maine Potato Blossom pageants, as well as community events. In doing so, we hope that all profits will continue to be donated back into the communities as we have always done in the past.
    If anyone is interested in taking over the sponsorship, please feel free to contact the Town Office at 764-3754.
