The
6th annual
Boat Show and Parade at the Town of Clifton Beach Park on Cranberry
Lake is on Saturday, June 30; rain date is Sunday, July 1.
This year the Adirondack Lakes & Trail Outfitters of Saranac Lake will set up a display and bring a few kayaks and canoes to see/try out. We will also be holding a drawing for some Boat Club merchandise and complementary coupons good at local Restaurants. The Boat Show runs from 11:00 AM till 3:00 PM with Exhibitor check-in at 11:00 AM. The show is predominately land-based with canoes, guide boats, rowing skiffs, and motors being on display; however, anything and everything is welcome.
Lunch will be available for a nominal fee from 12:00 noon till 2:00 PM.
The Parade will start at 4:00 PM from the Boat Club Dock.
Contact Hal Brown @ 848-3403 for more information or if you would like to show a boat.
We will gather Saturday, August 11 at 1:00 PM and eat at 2:00 PM for our annual Picnic at the Pinecone. Chicken, beer and soda are provided; please bring a salad or desert to pass. The cost is $6 for adults and $3 for children under 13 and may be made at the picnic. Please make your reservation with Janet Rhodes @ 848-2969 or Bill Gleason @ 848-5620 by Saturday JULY 30. The Pinecone can not accept additional numbers after this date.

The Boat Club’s Community Improvement Project (CIP) Fund is used to provide monetary support for community projects that need financial backing to be completed. Prospective projects are brought to the Boat Club Board of Directors for their review and approval. It will be the responsibility of the Board to determine if the project is appropriate and consistent with the purpose of the Boat Club. If the project is deemed appropriate the Board will determine the amount of support that will be provided.
The (CIP) Fund has grown to $8,000 thanks to member donations.
1) A donation of $250 was again made to the Cranberry Lake Flower Box and Banner Committee to support their annual fund drive.
2) The maintenance fund for the Town of Clifton Beach Park was authorized to procure stain for the Pavilions and to replace the vehicle gate that is falling apart.
3) The Water Overlook Pavilion for the Beach Park Committee of Hugh Mitchell and Clint Farnsworth was encouraged to bring it’s feasibility study to a conclusion. The challenge is to develop a design that satisfies the Architect, Hugh, and the APA. The APA rejected our last design in the Fall of 2006.
4) The Boat Wash at the Colombian Rd. Boat Launch Committee of John Adami and Hal Brown was encouraged to complete it’s feasibility study.
The New Chairmen of the CIP Committee, Sherm Craig, was asked to prepare a set of Project recommendations for the Boards’ review at our July meeting.
