Lake
Sebago
Warren and
Stuart have been to the lake a couple of times to look over the situation
relative to installing a new stove and securing the door to the cabin.
A stove was subsequently purchased from Home Depot and taken to the camp
but hasn’t been Installed yet. We
also have a new heater which had been purchased from Suburban a while ago and is
now being stored at the cabin pending installation.
The day that
Stuart and Warren took the new stove to the cabin, they also installed screening
on the window next to the door and added a padlock which can be opened by the
Wanda key to increase the security of the cabin.
One of the
Camp requirements for club cabin holders is that they host at least two
activities at the
Lake
. It
was decided to do a Cabin and Grounds Cleanup day on the first Open House which
is May 11. September 14 was selected
for a currently unspecified activity.

The day was very pleasant and sunny.
The water was low, but negotiable for the first couple of miles until we
were below Riverton and then a few side streams came into the river and
increased the volume of water. We
all took our turns getting hung up on the rocks, but no one had to get out and
push. It was a delight to get out
and start paddling.
New Business
Motion was
made by Jim McLoone and seconded by Stuart Alpart to make our boat trailer
available to the Girl Scouts for three weeks in July for their camp program.
Passed unanimously.
