Packard’s Landing Community Potluck

Come one, come all to the annual Packard’s Landing summer potluck!

It’s this coming Sunday from 12 to 2, timed around high tide so to include lots of kayaking and swimming opportunities.
We had a wonderful turnout last year with folks bringing lots of delectable delights, and with no shortage of opportunities to connect with friends and neighbors, and make new acquaintances!

The water access management committee is excited to see you there, and hope you’ll be able to make it!

Feel free to bring along any visitors in town and certainly any children and grandchildren!

We’ll see you on Sunday!”

Could you be part of the fire and emergency response team?

Come and see for yourself. Visit us at the fire station on Stafford Lane during our monthly training, held the third Saturday of each month from 8:00–10:00 a.m.

If you are physically capable, dependable, courageous, and able to stay calm under pressure, we encourage you to get involved. We especially welcome community members with a basic understanding of mechanical or power equipment, safe chainsaw skills, or an interest in becoming a firefighter. Basic Fire School and Firefighter I & II training are available in Maine, and our Saturday trainings are a great way to become familiar with the department, equipment, and team.

There is another important support role for members who can respond when available, day or night, to assist emergency medical personnel during EMS calls in their neighborhood.

Contact Chief Dale Carlton at afd@arrowsic.org with any questions.

The Arrowsic Planning Board will hold a Public Hearing at its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, August 6^th, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Arrowsic Town Hall to consider an application for a conditional use permit for the replacement of 2 non-conforming structures located at 86 Arrowsic Road.

Tip of the Month: Separate Trash and Recycling at curbside and get your stickers!

Be courteous for our hauler, Craig Rogers and Sons.
It is helpful to separate trash and recycling bins at curbside for our hauling service.  This makes their pick-up more streamlined and accurate. 
For those who bring waste to the end of your road with neighbors, group together all bins of trash with an obvious divide between those and all recycling bins. 
ARSWC offers free RECYCLING stickers in the Recycling Shed to mark recycling bins for easier identification. 

Permit Issued

Mike Field, Arrowsic Code Enforcement Officer, has released the following permit, available here.

From the Education Committee

THANK YOU  to the residents of our little island for supporting the Scholarship Fund during the recent yardsale and town meeting. We took in almost $2100.00 from the sale of items donated and actual cash donations. We continue to be grateful for the generosity of our neighbors. 

We appreciate the townspeople’s approval of the increase in the award to our students, increasing from $2000.00 to $3000.00. We all know the cost of higher education is climbing and are pleased to be able to help our graduates. This years recipients are :
Danielle D’Souza- Northeastern University
Ren Kauffunger- Yale University
Isabella Morton- University of Rhode Island

Congratulations! 

The Arrowsic Education Committee

ARSWC Tip of the Month

In Arrowsic, we decided many years ago that yard waste would not collected with curbside pickup. Landfilled organic matter undergoes anaerobic decomposition, generating potent greenhouse gasses. Meanwhile, grass clippings, leaves, weeds, and branches are, in fact, a precious resource which can be mulched directly into a lawn, composted or scattered in the woods to help build rich soil on our island. 

Call for Submissions –– Summer Arrow

The next issue of the Arrow, our town’s independent newsletter, will be published next month. Please send anything you would like to contribute–articles, reports, notices, upcoming meetings—by June 29th to Karin Sadtler kasadtler@yahoo.com

Items for the Community News column, including births, deaths, graduations, personal activities, and other items of interest are requested.

We are especially interested in notes from new residents, introducing themselves and telling us why they moved to Arrowsic or what they particularly like about Arrowsic. Just a few lines is fine.

The Arrow is always looking for writers who wish to contribute, either occasionally or regularly. We would also very much like to include your favorite pictures from around the island.

And we are continuing to expand our Arts coverage and welcome your artwork, photos, poems, or stories. Please send those to Sharif Elmusa at selmusa@gmail.com.
