Frye Island Winter Newletter 2003

Greetings everyone:

Well, the Maine sun is finally getting higher in the sky, the days are getting longer and warmer, the ice is getting thinner, and it’s time to start thinking of the upcoming season on Frye Island !

We are scheduled to open on Friday, April 23^rd, of course this will depend on Mother Nature, but we will keep you posted on our website at www.fryeisland.com.

I’d like to take this opportunity to update you on some of the projects we have been working on and changes that have occurred during the winter.

Ferry Service: We are in the process of rebuilding all four of the engines (2 on each boat) on the ferries. We have also had the four transmissions rebuilt at the manufacturer’s facilities. Hopefully, this will insure a “breakdown” free season.

In other ferry service news, Martin Freedman has decided not to return this season as head of the Ferry Service. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Martin for his many years of service and wish him the best in all of his future endeavors. Kevin Lamarre, formerly Director of Public Works, has agreed to take on the duties of Head Captain. For those of you who do not know, Kevin is a graduate of Maine Maritime Academy, has been employed by Frye Island for almost 20 years and began his employment at Frye Island as a Ferry Captain. In addition, Kevin’s wife Sue has agreed to take on many of the administration tasks that are part of the operation of the Ferry Service. Kevin, and Sue, live in Raymond not far from the ferry terminal. We are confident they will do an outstanding job.

As most of you already know, the Board of Island Trustees voted to increase the price of ferry tickets at the October Town Meeting. This increase was made effective on January 1^st 2004. The new fee for residents “in good standing” is now $10.00 up from $7.00. The new fee for non-residents and contractors was increased from $16.00 to $20.00. The additional revenue received as a result of these increases will be applied to the Ferry Reserve Fund for future improvements to the ferry service. If you have “left over” $7.00 ferry tickets you can use these tickets, plus an additional $3.00 at the main-land ferry terminal. If you have a lot of tickets that you want to turn in, toward the $10.00 ticket you will have tto turn them in at the office. We are exploring different ways to make ticket purchasing easier, and will keep you informed as we develop new ideas.

Please remember that the Board of Island Trustee Executive Committee established the rule that an Islander must be in “good standing” to be able to purchase ferry tickets at the resident rate ($10). This means, among other things, that property taxes must be current and there can be no unpaid fees or fines. A list of delinquent Islanders will be published for the office and the ferry personnel. If your name appears on this list, you will be required to pay the non-resident rate ($20). Don’t take it out on the employees; they are just doing their jobs.

Many years ago, the Island established “Quiet Hours” between the hours of 10:00P.M. and 8:00A.M. This is intended to respect the privacy of the people, both residents and guests, on the Island. In view of this, the first 2 ferries scheduled in the morning will be reserved for residents and Island employees. If you are planning to have work done by contractors, please insure that they are aware of this policy. We are in the process of reviewing all of the ferry policies, as they are revised and approved, we will post them on the web site and make them available at the ferry terminal for review.

Public Works Department: We are pleased to announce that John Crosby has accepted the position as Public Works Director replacing Kevin. Many of you know John from his years of service on the Island as an electrician and as a Selectman. We welcome John to this position and are sure that John will be a very valuable asset to the Department and to the Island.

Water System: We continue to work with A.E. Hodsdon, (the consulting engineers), and the State of Maine, to design and install the new water supply equipment and treatment system to comply with all State of Maine codes, and to insure an adequate water supply to all Islanders. We anticipate construction beginning this season.

Marina/ Quail Circle: The Board of Island Trustees voted in February to increase slip fees to the Marina and Quail Circle as follows:

Additionally, there will be a $5.00 decal that must be purchased at the office and attached to your boat to identify your right to use the assigned slip. The slip assignments for the 2004 season are being finalized now and will be posted on our web-site soon. If you have any questions after reviewing the assignments or if you do not intend to use the assigned slip this season please call the office at 207-892-6517

Administration: Going into the 2004 summer season, there have been a number of changes in office personnel. Conrad Theberge and Pat Dignard have decided not to return …. We wish them both the best in their future endeavors.

Calvin Nutting was hired at the end of last season to serve as our Financial Coordinator. In this position he will be responsible for the Town bookkeeping; he will serve as deputy tax collector responsible for the collection of taxes and the tax lien processes, and will also do the entire employee payroll. Calvin is an accountant by education and experience.

This past winter we implemented the Trio Accounting and Payroll modules that integrate with the Cash Receipting and Real Estate modules that we have been using since 2002. The implementation of these modules gives us a totally integrated municipal software program.

Nancy McEnaney, who was hired as a temporary employee during the 2002 season, and permanently employed in January of 2003, has accepted the position of Office Manager. In this position she will coordinate all of the office activities and also serve as Deputy Town Clerk. In addition to these full time employees, we will be hiring part time help to assist with office functions for the summer season. If you are interested, or know of anyone interested in one of these positions, please contact Nancy at the winter office at 207-892-6517, or via E-Mail at nmcenaney@fryeisland.com.

Richard Main, who served as the Assistant Assessor last season during the reevaluation, has accepted the position of Assessor, replacing Robert Tripp. Richard will be available on a part-time basis through the season. We are in the process of setting up his schedule now. It will be posted on the web-site when it is finalized.

Bill Foye, our Code Enforcement Officer resigned at the end of last season. He has agreed to assist us on a limited basis until we can find a replacement; for that I am grateful. We are in the process of finding a replacement for Bill. If you know of anyone qualified for this part-time position please let us know.

Growth Permits: We have already issued the 15 growth permits for 2004, as allowed by the Growth Management Ordinance that was approved at the October Town Meeting. We also have 13 applicants in queue for the 2005 season.

Recreation Commission: The Commission is hard at work putting together a program for the 2004 season. I have enclosed a needs assessment survey and tentative plan for the upcoming season prepared by the Rec. Commission. Please complete the survey and return it to the office at 1 Sunset Road, Frye Island, Maine, 04071 at your earliest convenience.

Taxes: I want to remind everyone that interest accrues daily for all taxes that are overdue. If you missed the January 1^st due date for the first half payment, you should call the office before sending in your payment. You will owe more than the original tax bill indicates.

The Dance Committee is hard at work planning an exceptional evening. Details will be published in the FINS at a later date

Everyone on the Island is working diligently to prepare for the upcoming season. I am sure that there will be times when things don’t go as planned, but please bear with us as we attempt to make this a very enjoyable season for everyone.

A granite memorial bench is being planned for installation at the Frye Island Family Park in memory of Michael K. Heitz, a sixteen year old Frye Islander killed by a drunk driver on January 9, 2004. The bench will be donated at cost by Frye Islanders Bruce and Theresa Lane.

An Excerpt of Chief Perssons Annual Report

ORGANIZATION

The Frye Island Fire Department was re-organized on July 1, 1998 when the island gained its independence and became the newest town in the State of Maine. The Department presently consists of seventeen (17) volunteer officers and firefighters supported by three pieces of fire apparatus, an EMS Squad and a Maine Forest Service ¾ ton pick-up truck. Firefighters operate from a 3-bay station centrally located on the island and a 1-bay station located at the ferry landing.

The Frye Island Fire Department proudly serves the needs of the community by providing fire, rescue and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Members serve with pride and professionalism, striving to meet the demands of our community in a safe and efficient manner.

During the year of 2003 the Fire Department responded to the following twenty-five (25) incidents.

DIAL 9-1-1 in case of an emergency, whether FIRE or MEDICAL related. Your 9-1-1 call will be received at the Raymond Dispatch Center. Frye Island Fire Department members and the Raymond Fire Department (for a fire emergency) and/or the Raymond Rescue (for a medical emergency) will be immediately dispatched. All Frye Island Fire Department members possess a portable radio and are on call 24/7.

The Raymond Dispatch Center will also notify the ferry Captain for the emergency response during both normal ferry operating hours and off-hour periods.

State your name, you location and the nature of your emergency. Get out of the building if there is a fire. Stay at your location until help arrives. Emergency personnel are responding to your location. If you leave that location, especially in a medical emergency, you may by-pass responding personnel. TIME IS CRITICAL IN AN EMERGENCY!

All owners and visitors should know where they are on the island including the roadway, lot number, fire lane and a nearby pertinent landmark in the event of a fire, medical or police emergency. All roadways are clearly marked with names and fire lane numbers. Someone should be standing outside to direct rescue workers to the location, if possible. At night the building should be illuminated. It is a town ordinance that each residence be properly identified using a lot numbering system.

Significant life-threatening time could be wasted attempting to locate people that need fire, EMS or police assistance.

The fire and rescue service is one of the most diverse and challenging professions today. Imagine having to train to prepare yourself for situations that range from combating a building fire or a forest fire, treating medical emergencies such as a heart attack and childbirth, or dealing with hazardous chemical spills, water rescues and everything in between. Couple this with the fact that these skills may be needed any time of the day or night, in any kind of weather, and often under stressful, emotional and dangerous conditions. These challenges are what make the job rewarding.

This job is not for everyone. You need more than just the desire to help people. You need courage, dedication and a willingness to learn new skills and face new challenges. You also need to have time for training, meetings, maintaining equipment and responding to emergency calls. Unfortunately the job of a firefighter cannot be taught in hours or days. It is a continuing process that takes years to master. It is a learning process. The personal rewards and satisfaction received by volunteering are often beyond description. There is a sense of accomplishment after controlling a building fire and compassion and pride when treating a victim of an illness or accident. We are here and prepared for one reason, to provide a service to the residents and visitors of our island community.

If you feel that you have some time and a commitment to meet the challenges of being a firefighter, we welcome you to join us. We do not bite. We are just ordinary citizens performing a service to the community. We desperately need your help. The volunteer service across the country has been in crisis for several years. Lifestyles have changed over the years. People have hectic schedules in their lives and seem to have little time for leisure activities. When people do find time to relax, like coming to Frye Island for a weekend or to vacation, they are interested in swimming, boating, golfing, and entertaining friends and relatives. With that said, it doesn’t change the fact that our residents and visitors are subject to illness, accident or other catastrophic incidents at any moment. Someone has to step up to the plate and provide these vital life saving services.

If you believe that you could make a difference, please contact a member of the fire department for further information. The fire service is a team effort, we would be most grateful to have you as a member of out team.

The members of the Frye Island Fire Department would like to thank those island residents and individuals from the private sector that gave so generously during the past fiscal year. Without your help and support it would have been impossible to achieve the measure of success that was accomplished this past year. We would also like to acknowledge the Raymond Fire Department for their support and camaraderie; it is greatly appreciated. We would be remiss if the Department did not thank the Town Selectmen and the Town Manager for their continued support of our organization.

In conclusion, I would like to express to the islanders that their volunteer firefighters are dedicated to the cause, spending countless hours away from their families and social life to provide both citizens and visitors with the best fire protection and emergency medical services that we are able to provide.

EMERGENCY PLANNING SURVEY

First: Thank you to all who took the time and patiently filled out the Emergency Planning Survey. It was included in the tax bills as an outreach to better scope the magnitude of dealing with a major Island emergency to include a full evacuation. Emergency planning also requires maintaining an inventory of the handicapped and any medical personnel on the Island.

Using the property tax mailing based on the Grand List, over 700 surveys were sent. To date over 300 replies have been received. They have been assessed in the following three categories.

This shows an overall response of 47%. However, while Lot Owners may visit, or occasionally rent, the dominant impact on emergency planning is from Cabin Owners. This group provided a 56% response and is the focus of analysis. While a number of cabins are rented, it will be assumed that maximizing the data provided for the cabin owners will also cover renter occupancy on the Island. The survey reported 35 rentals out of the 233 replies. If extended on a straight-line basis for all cabins, the rentals might approach 60.While they ranged from 1 week to all season the dominant period is again July through August.

The results again highlight what is already perceived. Based on Ferry data and visual observations weekends and July through August are the dominant occupancy period for the Island. The weeks connected with 4 July and Labor Day are the most critical.

In analyzing the data it is recognized that not all owners will be on the Island at the same time. However, a worst case situation has been assumed under both “normal” as well as “maximum” occupancy. The 233 Cabin surveys yield the following results.

If the 56% results were straight line extended to 100% and 70% the totals might be:

A 70%-Extended planning factor, if applied to a 4 July week as a worst case evacuation scenario, could involve over 2000 people and 800 vehicles w/o trailers. The type of emergency, weather conditions and ferry availability would further impact all of this. These data will be considered in ongoing planning

The Emergency Plan includes a conceptual plan for evacuating Island occupants by boats in a worst case scenario, such as a major Island wildfire. This concept requires significant additional planning and organization. For example, it envisions the Island Yacht Club as a key player in plan finalization and execution. While survey results reflect a general willingness to participate by boat owners; organization, training, and exercises remain the key to a successful execution. The provision of adequate life saving equipment (PFDs) is another aspect. As a first step it appears appropriate to form a nucleus group from the All Season residents who have boats with a capacity of 8 or greater. Survey results indicate, if all were available at the same time, it could result in 31 boats with a single lift capacity of about 300 passengers. Unfortunately this might not be sufficient for a rapid, worst case 4 July week evacuation. Armed with the survey results the planning effort can now continue.

In emergencies and especially in an evacuation it is critical that handicapped persons can be contacted and aided. The current Emergency Plan had no background material upon which to base the scope of the Island handicapped population. For this reason an inventory was included in the Survey. The 56% response by Cabin Owners provided the following 24 responses. A roster will be developed and added to the appropriate section of the Emergency Plan.

In any life-threatening emergency, especially on the Island, medical aid depends on the Fire Department First Responders and the Raymond Rescue Squad. In major emergencies it is also valuable to have an inventory of additional medical expertise that may be on the Island. The survey has yielded the following results. Again, availability is tempered when they are on the Island. However it is another aid that will be tabulated and added to the Town Emergency Plan Resource Book. Totals are:

There were a limited number of comments received and appreciated. Some may, hopefully, have been answered above. But here are a few replies.

· Helicopter evacuation: Yes we have a site. It’s the ball field. However it must be activated through an EMT patient assessment. Normally through Raymond Emergency Dispatch.

· Evacuation by Boat Planning: The complexity of such a plan is acknowledged and will require more planning and preparation.

· Lot Numbering: The old 500 and 3000 series house numbers apparently are still a concern to some occupants. A review by the Planning Board is suggested.

· Publication of the Emergency Plan: The Plan includes two volumes. Possibly the basic plan (Volume 1) might be placed on the web site as suggested. However, it is planned to develop and issue a concise “Personal Action Plan” for posting in each cottage. This is a goal for the 2004 season.

Once again, it is the time to craft the MSAD #6 budget. Once again, the local allocations will go up mainly because State valuations of all five towns went up. That is, the State says that all towns got wealthier. Somehow, I do not feel that way! But, regardless of how anyone in the District might feel about it, the District will get fewer dollars as aid to education. As I reported earlier, State valuations are driven by sales of real estate properties and new constructions. At this time, I cannot say definitely by how much the school budget will go up since the budget action by the full Board is scheduled for the 24th of March. But, I can give you some approximate numbers. The budget probably will go up by about 5.5%. This is a reasonable figure; taken into account inflation and the fact that last year there was no increase at all. Of course, the local contributions did increase last year even with a flat budget, because there was a decrease in State aid. Of course, same thing will happen this time. Frye Island contributions to the local allocations might go up by about 17%. Do you think that the additional revenue that the Town collects on new homes will cover this increase?

One piece of good news is that the State approved the District's applications for two Revolving Renovation Fund loans. One was for the sewage treatment plant and the second one for the Hollis School roof. The sewage treatment plant loan is for one million dollars. The State forgives $474,900 and the remainder $525,100 is to be repaid at zero percent interest over a ten year period. The Hollis School roof loan is for $253,000 with $120,150 to be forgiven and the remainder $132,850 to be repaid at zero interest in five years. Obviously, the payments for these two loans will show up in the future budgets.

The third thing that you might have fun thinking about is the Essential Programs and Services (EPS). It is a law signed by Governor King, but yet to be implemented. It deals with the way future aid to education dollars will be allocated to all schools. You can learn the details by visiting the State web site. The promise is to fund EPS fifty-five percent by the year 2010. The most common mistake people make is to think that each school district will be funded at fifty-five percent. The 55% figure is an aggregate amount as applied to the entire state. But, to what level each individual school unit will get funded depends on the new funding formula, which is still being worked on. Furthermore, the whole thing will get pretty messy if the people of Maine will say "yes" this coming June to the Question 1A of the last referendum. The Federal Government still is not even trying to live up to its commitment to fund mandated Special Education

(IDEA) at 40%. This translates, for MSAD6, into an extra million dollars that the State and local taxpayers somehow must come up with! Do not forget the two other only partially funded mandates: Maine Learning Results and No Child Left Behind. See you on the Island!

There are several changes in the way we will operate the former brush dump. One of the changes is the name. It is now called “The Town of Frye Island Transfer Station.” Here are a few of the changes;

There will no longer be curbside trash pickup. For those interested in hiring a private source, the “Trashy Women,” (who picked up trash curbside last year) would be interested. They can be reached at 998-3128.

The Transfer Station gate will be open 24 hours a day for walk through only, for the following items:

The transfer station will be open for drive through and an attendant will be present for all other items for disposal. The hours are as follows:

We anticipate that property owners needing to deposit anything other than bagged household trash, cardboard and separated recyclables will need a transfer station sticker. Transfer station stickers can be obtained at the Town Office or at the Transfer Station (proof of property ownership will be needed i.e., tax bill, electric bill etc). A small fee may be charged for the sticker.

A small fee may be charged for disposal of most items. The fee will range in size depending on the amount and type of debris being disposed of. A full list of materials and fees will be posted in the FINS and at the Transfer Station.

We are also considering allowing contractors to dump construction materials and brush if they meet the following requirements:

This will only be allowed on Wednesdays during regular transfer station operating hours. Fees will be posted in the FINS and at the transfer station. These fees will be much higher than the property owner fees.

Another season is quickly approaching and I assume everyone is as anxious as I am to return to the Island. Hopefully, you’re also thinking about getting in a few rounds of golf this season.

Aside from a few bouts of bad weather, last year was a great season to play golf at the Frye Island Golf Course. I received a number of comments last season from players who felt the course was in the best shape ever. In fact, some players commented that the condition of our greens early in the season was far superior to greens at some of the premier destination golf courses in Maine. An equal number of people commented favorably regarding the organization of the club house, pro shop and social events that took place last year. I would like to offer a special thanks to Jay Larrabee, Laura Crosby and to the volunteers who contributed many hours of free labor to improve one of the greatest amenities the Island offers. We also operated financially in the black last year, actually contributing some funds to our reserve account for future purchases of some much needed repair work and replacement equipment.

I just returned from our winter golf meeting where the Golf Committee spent a weekend together discussing last year’s events and hammering out plans for the upcoming season. First, I want to update everyone on some of the changes from last year. Near the end of the season we hired an outside contractor with an excavator to work with Jay to clean out the vegetation (along with a lot of golf balls) from the pond on the second hole. We had been advised that without this type of maintenance we might loose the pond as the vegetation will eventually take over the area, making it more of a marsh than a pond. The contracted equipment was needed because our tractor doesn’t have the necessary reach to get beyond the edges of the pond. The good news is now that the pond has been reconditioned we should be able to perform annual maintenance with our own equipment. This maintenance will keep the pond from getting to this stage in the future. Although the pond on the second hole was the focus of last year’s work as it was in the poorest condition of all, the other ponds will eventually need work.

The Town replaced the collapsing culvert under the road beside the sixth hole. This will allow Jay to control the water level in the ponds on the sixth and improve the drainage and wet areas near the stream.

The club house experienced a number of key improvements last year, almost all of which came from the voluntary efforts of the members and patrons of the club. These improvements included:

I can’t over emphasize the value of the efforts of the members and patrons who donated hundreds of hours of their time during the past season. These volunteer efforts coupled with an equally committed staff managed by Jay and Laura contributed to making these improvements to the Frye Island Golf Club.

With that said, there is always much more to accomplish and here is a summary of our plans for 2004 season. First, our goal will include making every effort to maintain the course and the club house operations at or above the level of prior years. This will be done in a manner that allows the club to operate with a positive cash flow and to remain self-sufficient into the future. Some of the improvements that we are looking at this season include:

Ø Potentially installing some type of aesthetically pleasing and low maintenance edging
to the front of the pond on the second hole

Ø Rewriting and posting/communicating tournament guidelines for both on Island and off Island tournaments

We are also giving serious consideration to the purchase of a new tractor, which is the critical tool for mowing the roughs. The job of mowing roughs is an activity that requires more machine hours than any other single activity on the course. The tractor currently used by the course has the approximate equivalent of 200,000 miles on it, based on its hours of accumulated operation. Along with the concerns for the current tractor’s dependability, there are a number of benefits to some of the features and capabilities of some newer equipment that will make it a more versatile piece of machinery. Lastly, we believe the current tractor can be a viable piece of secondary and backup equipment for a few more years if we are able to reduce its hours of operation and have a good maintenance program.

Some other items of importance to Islanders and golfers are the changes to the structure of Frye Island Inc. (FII) and to the Town. Last October at the Annual Meeting of FII a preliminary vote took place regarding whether FII should transfer a number of its assets, including the golf course, to the Town. This preliminary vote showed strong support for the transfer of the golf course to the Town. Following the transfer to a municipal golf course the Golf Committee would continue to oversee the operation of the golf course and would report to the Town Manager. The golf course, under the direction of the Golf Committee, would not receive any funding for the operation of the golf club and would be required to be totally self-funding and self-sustaining. This is essentially following the same financial edict we operated under for the last couple of years. The Committee discussed this issue at length at our winter golf meeting and we intend to conduct additional evaluation. At this point, we believe that with our membership revenue, course and club fees and continued reliance on volunteer efforts, we can operate successfully under this structure. Therefore, as a Golf Committee, we think that operating under the Town is worthy of further consideration. The initiative is expected to go to vote at the Annual Meeting in July.

In a nut shell, that is the perspective from the Golf Committee on the recent past and the near future. As always, we welcome your thoughts, comments and most of all we welcome and appreciate your willingness to pitch in whenever you can. Volunteerism has been and will continue to be a valuable and necessary component to the success of the golf club.

In accordance with the wishes of the majority of stockholders, as expressed on the 2003 summer survey, The Frye Island Board of Directors has voted unanimously to recommend that the stockholders of Frye Island Inc. transfer the following assets to the Town of Frye Island:

These assets are currently operated and /or used by the Town of Frye Island. The transfer of these assets would prove to be beneficial to the Town and to the Residents of Frye Island by reducing potential insurance liability to Frye Island Incorporated while reducing the tax burden for all residents.

All FII stockholders (Lot Owners) will be able to vote on this proposal at the July 3^rd Town meeting. If you can not attend that meeting please complete the enclosed proxy ballot and return it to the Town of Frye Island, 1 Sunset Road, Frye Island, Maine 04071.

A meeting will be held on Saturday May 29^th at 9:00 A.M. (Memorial Day weekend) at the Community Center to discuss the transfer of these assets. Everyone is urged to attend.

It is necessary to get a minimum of 249 ballots cast to validate this vote so to please be sure to vote. For taking the time to reply, we have established a drawing for all votes returned to us by June 30th, 2004. All Stockholders responding will have their names put into a hat and three winning names will be drawn at the July 3rd Annual Stockholders meeting. First place will receive a $100.00 prize, second place $75.00, and third place $50.00. So, please get these votes back to us and get into the drawing!

A clause will be written into the transfer document returning ownership of these assets to Frye Island Incorporated, if the stockholders vote to accept them, in the event the town is disbanded or merges with another town.

The undersigned hereby appoints the Secretary of the Association or his/her designee with full power of substitution to vote at the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of FRYE ISLAND, INC. (the "Corporation") to be held on July 3, 2004 and any adjournment thereof, with the same effect as the undersigned if personally present, as follows:

Note: if no choice is indicated above, the Proxy will be deemed to be a vote for the proposal(s).

The Frye Island Recreation Commission was created in October 2002. The charges given to the committee by the Island Selectmen were to monitor recreational areas on the island, encourage and plan recreational activities for all age groups, advise and assist the seasonal recreation director, work with SAD 6 and the town of Raymond to provide appropriate course offerings, to assure that on peak holiday weekends at least one island wide activity will be offered, and to identify and assist islanders to share their talents.

In planning for the 2004 Summer offerings, the Committee thought it would be helpful to poll islanders about their interest in recreational opportunities. Please answer the following questions and send or bring your questionnaire to the island office promptly.

June 19: Pot Luck dinner at Community Center and speaker from Portland Water District in coordination with Garden Club coordinated by Kathy Potts

July 10: Boat Building and Recreational Food 9:00-12:00, coordinated by Mary Deming

Wednesday and possibly Saturday pick-up soccer at the ballfield coordinated by Annie Charrette and Christine Phillips

Major League Soccer Camp for kids and possibly adults: Annie Charrette to coordinate

Children’s Theatre: if group from last year does not return, look into having Portland Children’s Theatre come to the island (Andrea Sansonetti)

Please make additional comments on the back and return this survey to the Frye Island Office promptly! We value your input! Thank you!!! The Frye Island Recreation Committee

There may be an opportunity for a Catholic Mass to be held Sundays during high season at 12:00 PM at the Community Center. Please indicate your name if you would attend this mass. Thank you. Kathy and Bob Giggey
