In 1988, a teacher, an attorney, a newspaper reporter, a contractor/carpenter, a community activist/landscaper, and a bookkeeper/house painter/therapist living in Chappaquiddick decided that their community needed a gathering place. With the generous donation of land by Bill and Ann Brine, that dream came true. During this time, the community came together to discuss how to make the community center a reality. Today, this group of individuals, known as the founders, were appointed to represent the community and sign the founding documents. Their dream became a reality when the building we now know as the Chappy Community Center, built with volunteer and paid labor, was ready for occupancy in the summer of 1992.
