New Websites in Eddington - Spread the News

We have at least two new websites in Eddington - and we need to let our neighbors know (including our summer neighbors since many of them bring their computers with them - especially if they have teenagers in the family).

The town of Eddington now has a website up and running. www.eddingtonmaine.gov
This is an excellent source of local information and places in the area for goods and services, maps, government groups and agendas and meeting dates. Check it out. It was developed by two of our local people - Gretchen Halderman (hope I spelled that right) who's a new member of the Planning Committee. Gretchen also did the work to develop the town's Shoreland Zoning Map. The other person who worked with Gretchen on the website is Craig Russell who's with the Eddington Fire Department - and a recent college graduate.

Comins Hall has just developed a website as well. www.cominshall.org
Comins Hall (as I understand) is one of the few remaining, original Grange Halls that is in the process of being re-activated (my word) with a sound community board of directors that is working very hard to bring back on-going community activities and a sense of a local "meeting hall." There are regular community Saturday night bean suppers (and other menus), but Talent Nights and other activities to keep it evolving and vital to the towns of Eddington and Clifton.

  1. Thanks for the blog about the new websites. The correct spelling of my last name is Heldmann. I know that Russell is working on getting a special lettering thing for the sign out front of the town office so that the website can fit on one line instead of two, which would probably confuse people. That's the reason it's not up there yet - it won't fit neatly.
