The Constance Hopkins Colony, organized on January 30, 1981, includes members and friends from Aroostook County and other neighboring counties. The Colony has 25 members and meets twice a year. The annual meeting held in the fall, usually in southern Aroostook County. The spring meeting is held in northern Aroostook.

We meet at noon on Saturdays and enjoy a luncheon, business meeting and a program of interest. We come together to socialize and promote our posterity to all.

Some of our projects include: 

• Placement of Mayflower Silver Books in the Turner Memorial Library in Presque Isle
• Contributing to the Mayflower Scholarship Fund
• Visits to local public schools to present the history of the 1620 Mayflower journey and settlement in America.
• Inventorying significant books relating to Mayflower genealogy in Aroostook town libraries.
  

Our dues are $5.00 a year. Membership entitles members to all mailings, including announcements of meetings.
