Happy New Year to All

We are also pleased to announce that work is underway for The 23rd Annual LCACBS Boat Show in Westport which will also coincide with the Westport Heritage Festival August 8-9. Please start thinking about making this a weekend event and possibly a stay in Westport. There will be plenty to do for the whole family. Westport is a beautiful, small and compact town boasting an outstanding golf course, summer theater (The Depot Theatre), B&B's, Music Pavilion on Ballard Park, and more...Upcoming newsletters will fill you in on Boat Show and Heritage Festival and other town details as it develops and firmed-up. I am gathering brochures from each of the above entities and would be delighted to mail these to you upon request. I am very much looking forward The Boat Show in 2008 which will be good practice for an even better one in 2009 when both New York and Vermont celebrate The 400th Anniversary of Samuel deChamplains discovery of Lake Champlain (The QUAD) on this most beautiful and important body of water.

Finally, realizing how busy The Fall Season is for everyone we would like to develop our Fall Cruise plans as early as possible. We have had discussions for another Adirondack visit and would like a member(s) to oversee and coordinate a date and destination. The thinking is the earlier we set our plans the more members will participate.

Also, The LCACBS web site (lcacbs.com) is updated on a regular basis. Should you have any questions regarding event dates you can check the web site or please don't hesitate to contact me at 518 962 4072 or gmaffey@westelcom.com for more information. By the way, if you haven't visited the web site recently, Larry Asam has done a spectacular job putting together a artistic slide show with sound track...The site has received great reviews!...See you the 26th...George
