The club usually sells Strawberry Shortcakes and water at Family Fun Days, unfortunately the members that usually do it are not going to be available this year. The date of Family Fun Days is now the weekend of August 4th and not the last weekend in June. If anyone is interested in doing it this year please let Edie know, thank you. 

A Thank you letter was read from the Lion’s Club for the donation of $2,000 for the cameras for Stratton buses. They also wanted to extend a special thank you to Joyce Hamilton for making the motion for this donation. It will go a long way to helping them reach their goal.

Trail Master’s Report: Dale Dunlap, breezy1@tdstelme.net   

We have been working the last couple of months with the Penobscot Indian Tribe in the Eustis area to develop a trail that would connect back to Natanis Campground. We have mapped out a possible route that we will work with the forester’s to gps. Depending on what we find will determine if we will be able to move forward with this trail. If this can be built we will definitely need volunteers willing to help. We will keep you updated. 

Now that the trails have been drying up, we will be going out on the trails this week to access damage from the winter and rain storm.  Anyone who would be able to help out please give us a call (207-431-0922). As of right now the trails will not be open until at least Memorial Day Weekend. We will keep you updated on Facebook, Website and you can call with any questions as well. 

 

Dianne Wyman won the door prize and Ralph Newman won the 50/50 which he donated back to the club.

    We are hoping to have the trails open Memorial Weekend. There was a lot of damage to the trails from the rain that we are still fixing and checking trails yesterday we found some that still have snow on them. We will do what we can and will let everyone know next week. Thank you.

    At this time we do not have a Park n Ride in Eustis. The one we currently have is in Stratton across from Flagstaff General Store and gas station. The trail is behind the store.
