Tinker
Property
“ Thank you” to
all the student volunteers from Yarmouth High
School and other volunteers
from the islands who participated in two days of
Bittersweet removal from the Tinker Property. Because
of the annual removal of Bittersweet over the past
few years, this special property has maintained
its beauty and uniqueness. Look for signs by the
bridge next Spring as the annual tradition continues.
Community
House
Thanks to CLIIA Secretary, Joan Santora, and her
granddaughter, Hannah, the Community House has
been updated with some new curtains and paint.
Hannah made the curtains as part of her Community
Service requirement at Yarmouth High School.
The new look has really helped the Community
House maintain it's historical look and charm.
CLIIA
Board
The leadership and members of the CLIIA Board are
seeking new members and leaders as we look forward
to the 2009-10 fiscal year. Many of the board
members have been serving for lots of years and
they would like to hand the “reigns” over
to some other island residents. Please consider
making the commitment to join the CLIIA Board
for the 2009-10 year and beyond. Typically the
Board meets 4 or 5 times a year with a focus
on planning our annual events, setting a budget,
maintaining the Community House, and addressing
legal and community issues.
If you would like to join the CLIIA Board, please
contact Joan Santora, CLIIA Secretary, by phone
or email: jaysan11764@yahoo.com or
846-1570. Thank you for your consideration.
