Winter Party
Hi Folks,
As has been our tradition, the Winter Party will be a Pot Luck event. Only if you plan to attend, please indicate "going" here on the calendar, "maybe" and "not going" are not necessary to indicate. If going, now you are half done! Please state below what food item you plan to bring and if it is an appetizer, side dish, main dish or dessert. Please read what others have listed and try to adjust what you plan to bring. We don't want to end up with only one or two of the food group categories to feed a hungry crowd. You know NSPNers love to eat, so this is the time to show off your cooking skills!
Folks will be responsible to bring their own non-alcoholic beverages. Water, tea and coffee will be provided by NSPN, as well as plates, bowls, flatware, hot/cold cups and napkins. For those who volunteer to set up tables and chairs, I will need you to arrive at 4:30. Once I see who is coming, I will contact a few hardy souls to assist me in this task. Thanks in advance!
Parking: There is ample parking in front of the Center. Please pull in facing the split rail fence.
I hope to see you all there! Sue

Come out and camp/paddle during prime time! Home Base will be Lobster Buoy Campsites in S. Thomaston, Maine, gathered at the Group Site. Arrive Friday, leave Sunday. Paddling options abound: NE to Owls Head, SE to Muscle Ridge, or SW to Port Clyde. These trips are not appropriate for beginners. Minimal skills to participate include wet exit, self and assisted rescue, and previous experience in ocean paddling with conditions of wind up to 15K, waves to 2 feet, and crossings up to 2.0M. I will set the limit to 16 FOR THE GROUP SITE ONLY.
