Reminder that the canoe trip and Bbq are fast approaching. On August 18 we plan to paddle from the park on Mill street in Rome to Lock 20 in Marcy on the canal. It is a distance of less than 10 miles. We plan on meeting in Rome at 8am and shoving off at 8:30. A safety briefing will be the first order of business that morning before departure. It should take about 4 hours to cover the distance to the lock. A BBQ lunch is planned for our arrival followed by a meeting to discuss our up and coming year. Please respond with a head count as well as if you are interested in moving vehicles from Rome to Marcy for the participating parties. Help is also needed in setting up for lunch.
