It may be a case of wishful thinking, but a few warm days and a sighting of  one brave robin has  our thoughts turning to warmer weather and Lake Sebago activities.  We have already established a sailing schedule - including hosting the Class C and ACA Class national races this year on Lake Tiorati in September.  Keep it in mind - ought to be fun whether as a participant, a spectator or a volunteer.

Facility Work Projects

 

We have not been able to get into camp to inspect the cabin and dock area, but we already know that there are a number of steps that need to be replaced.  Hopefully the dock itself, with the repairs done last summer, will be usable.

 

Annual Reminders

 

Please remember to sign in when you arrive in camp. Because we also need information for the annual report, please use the sheet provided on the cabin bulletin board to indicate your use of the facility, and any projects undertaken for either the club, the camp, or the division.
