Miami Beach-Coconut Grove-Homestead-Key
West-Everglades-Naples-Ft. Myers-Tampa, it seems but a blur... yet, just
like Shirley used to say, nothing beats the beautiful shores of Lake
Winnipesaukee!! Enough of this vacation nonsense... I am on my way
back North to join in a little walk down memory lane with the Old-Timers
this weekend and anyone who is interested in joining us, feel free to
drop on in! The starting gun for the pre-season will officially sound
off late today and by next weekend's Memorial Day festivities there will
be no doubt that summer is upon us, judging by the response from those
both near and far.
Run to the sign! Yes, the familiar Treasure
Hunt cry will also be heard a wee bit earlier this season. Over forty
folks have already signed up to be part of camping history. Don't miss
out on all the fun on June 2nd as we celebrate our 150th anniversary as
a YMCA.
Today is the last day to take advantage of
the lower $15 entry fee for adult (ages 13 on up) participants in the
YMCA World's Largest Run. You can still register on or after May 19th,
but it will be an extra $3. Of course, the younger members of our
camping community (Junior, Middler and Trailers aged - 6 to 12) are just
$5 regardless of when their registration comes in. So whether you want
to run, walk or just cheer everyone else on... the sooner you sign up,
the better!
Volunteers are also still needed to assist
with this once in a lifetime event. We could really use your help! If
you want to chip in and make this a truly memorable camping moment,
please drop us a note!
Remember, you can always register online by
going to www.ymca.net and clicking on
the YWLR registration link. Just find the Location pull down menu in
the upper left hand corner and click on NH, you can't miss us under
Tuftonboro!!
It certainly will be a very exciting first
weekend in June as camp will be humming not only with the YWLR but also
what we are now referring to as W cubed. Many of you have already
celebrated Mother's Day appropriately by giving the perfect gift of a
Women's Wellness treat to that special someone. Confirmations will be
going out the beginning of next week and there is still space available.
Brochures will also be available during Memorial Day Weekend for those
that prefer to sign up at camp. Don't miss out on the opportunity to
partake in a variety of special activities that women from all over
New England can only experience at camp - including none other than
Dr. Loretta Fleurs Goodwin's internationally renowned rubber stamping
classes :-)
On a much more serious note, the Y has been
having server troubles of late and I have been away from my computer far
too long. So, if you've sent a note recently and do not receive a
response by Monday, please resend it to this address and I will respond
when I return from camp... until then, I hope everyone has a wonderful
weekend.
