Dear Members and Friends,
Happy New Year! We have some great classes coming up for the Winter and Spring terms, plus a variety of wonderful events to keep you out of trouble during these cold months - something for everyone.
Winter 2020 classes start next week. If your class includes a book your email confirmation will have specified this. Books are available now at Sherman's Bookstore in Bar Harbor. Please let me know if you have any questions about your registration or if you need to withdraw. Some of the classes have waiting lists so if you can't make it, someone else might be able to!
Hope to see you at some of the upcoming events.

Schoodic Getaway Returns!
|
|
March 1 & 2, 2020
After a hiatus last season, the ASC Schoodic Getaway returns this winter, March 1-2. We will stay at the Schoodic Education and Research Center, located near Schoodic Point, a spectacular section of Acadia National Park. Specialists from the Schoodic Institute (SI) will provide two days of programs for us. We'll be housed in comfortable four-bedroom apartments (private rooms) and have our meals at the lovely Schooner Commons.
Participants will arrive before lunchtime on Sunday to check in. After lunch, Sarah Hooper, SI Education Specialist, will lead us on a walk in the new Schoodic Woods section of the Park. Later in the afternoon, we'll enjoy a wine and cheese party, then dinner, stargazing, and a movie night. Monday morning, after breakfast, we'll get right to work preparing a lunch of outdoor dutch oven specialties under the direction of Rick Henion. After lunch, SI ornithologist Seth Benz will take us out to observe some winter pelagic birds.
The cost for the Getaway is $165 per person, which includes lodging, meals, and all programming. This year, we have the option of lodging for a limited number at the VIP apartments at Rockefeller Hall, for an additional cost.
Sign up soon! There are a limited number of spaces available for this program.
