Town Charter 60 Day Open Comment Period Ends December 10th
Guiding documents are always a work in progress and the Town Charter is no exception. Residents have commented on the need to update some of the Town Charter’s provisions, but before launching a full Charter Commission, the Select Board has opted to have a 60-day open comment period starting October 10th to allow all residents time to review the Charter and submit suggested updates.
The current charter can be found here.
Submissions can be made online or in-person at the Town Office. Only residents of North Yarmouth can make and submit comments.
Once the comment period ends, the Select Board will review the comments and determine amendments are necessary (and, if so, whether the Charter can be amended at Town Meeting), or if a Charter Commission is warranted.

Mental Health Has No Face
December 8th from 6-8pm (Greely Performing Arts Center)
The Cumberland/North Yarmouth Mental Health Committee is excited to be holding a community wide poetry night in December. This poetry night will give Cumberland and North Yarmouth residents the opportunity to write anonymously about their own struggles with mental health, whether personally or with a loved one. These “poems” will be read aloud by high school students who have volunteered to participate in this project.
There are no set rules to how your poem is written- it doesn’t need to rhyme, have rhythm when read aloud, or be a certain length. It is simply an opportunity to share in your own words how mental health has impacted you/your family, and to hopefully open each other’s eyes to what those around us might be facing.
Our hope is that at the end of this project, we all strive to be more compassionate in each and every interaction we have, because we never know what that other person might be going through.
Please email Molly Costable, Eric Brown or Allison Foster with questions and submissions by November 1st.

Poinsettia Fundraiser
Each year members of the Greely Hockey Program sell beautiful poinsettias from Estabrook's. The online ordering process is the same as in previous years. You may choose from 4.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, and 10" pot sizes. The available colors vary by plant size as some of them are novelty colors and not produced in all sizes.

The vouchers can be redeemed at Estabrook's (337 East Main St, Yarmouth) from 11/29/2021 to 12/5/2021. Estabrook’s highly recommends visiting early in the redemption period for the best selection of colors.
