Town Of St. George
Including the Villages of Tenants Harbor, Port Clyde, and Spruce Head.
Thursday Staff Shout-Out: Welcome Dylan Rich! Dylan is our new Property Maintenance Tehnician. As town owned properties increase, the need to keep things running smoothly increases. Dylan will be concentrating on things like field mowing, building repairs, property upkeep and the like. This will allow Steve Jarrett more time to concentrate on road, ditch, and culvert maintenance. Of course there will be overlap from time to time, but the gist is we now have a maintenance TEAM instead of one fellow running himself ragged trying to keep up with everything. Dylan is a local fellow, and he's excited to give something back to his hometown. Please throw him a wave if you see him out and about, bombing around on a lawn tractor.

In anticipation of St. George Days we are highlighting some of the events taking place next week. Today we're highlighting the St. George Grange CHAIR-ity fundraiser.
"Members of the St. George Grange came up with the whimsical idea to have 17 local artists paint some of their vintage wooden chairs and chose Zero to School to be the recipient of this CHAIR-ITY fundraiser. These ONE-OF-A-KIND works of art represent both the talent and generosity of these artists.
Online bidding will open at 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, July 15, and continue through Sunday, July 19, at 8:00 p.m. EST.
Community members are invited to preview the chairs in person during a CHAIR-ITY Reception on Friday, July 17, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the future home of the St. George Early Childhood & Family Center, located at 107 Port Clyde Road in Tenants Harbor. The chairs will also be displayed during St. George Day on Saturday, July 18, in the Town Hall parking lot."
Resilience Factoids from the St. George Resilience Committee
1) Rates of Lyme disease in St. George is MUCH higher than in Maine as a whole. Be sure to check for ticks every day.
2) Drought and storms are a threat to drinking water. Consider testing your well every couple of years for contamination.
3) More high heat days are predicted. There may be as many as 20-30 by 2050. Have a plan to cool down.
This info, and much more, is available in our July newsletter: https://aptg.co/XKY99d
