A couple of important notices today:

Diane Sherwood called to let us know the Chicken BBQ scheduled for July 18th at the West Danville church has been canceled this year. Diane said not enough people are available to work, and there are other difficulties. The little church in West Danville, like so many other churches and organizations these days, is in financial difficulty and the future is not bright for it to continue as it has been for so many years. We hope there will be a compromise solution the their problems. However, for this year, at least, there will be no Chicken BBQ.

Jack Dowd, who has a cottage on Sandy Beach Road, called to report two kayaks are missing from his place. They are both 12 ft. long, Pungo brand, one yellow and one red. Jack said they could not have floated away from where they were stored, but he's wondering if someone "borrowed" them and might have left them in the water so they then floated off.

If anyone knows anything about these two kayaks, please let Jack know. You can reach him at 802-875-3171, or by e-mail: jackdowd@aol.com.

Also, Diane Sherwood is looking for one of the old Joe's Pond maps with the original camp numbers on it. If you don't wish to part with yours, perhaps you could arrange with Diane for her to have it copied. These are very nice old maps, and quite large. As I remember they were sort of tan color and had lots of pond information on them. They were made perhaps as far back as the 1940's.
