The Activity Calendar is a work in progress so

stay tuned for updates throughout the year.

Adventure Coordinators Jan Doherty and Linda Trueworthy are always

looking for more folks to step up and run a few trips or outings such as:

*Golf Fun Day

*Summer Weekend

*Foliage weekend

       December 20th was a perfect day for a snowshoe, with clear skies, lots of snow, cool temperatures, and the trees beautifully laden with snow from the early season storms.  A total of 21 people plus Rick's dog Popeye trekked around the miles of trails located behind Peter and Judy's home in Redington East.  The views looking towards the Bigelows and Sugarloaf from Spruce Hill and Moose Mountain were spectacular.  At the latter viewpoint the hikers took a break to enjoy hot chocolate  with a touch of peppermint schnapps to ward off the cold temperatures.

     Back at the house after the hike, the dining

 room table was buried with various yummy Christmas cookies plus another table was laden

 with most excellent appetizers.  The mulled wine and wassail were also big hits with the 40 people who showed up to swap cookies and to socialize with all their friends.  Everyone agreed the snowshoe and the gathering afterwards were a nice break from all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
