2nd Annual
"Save the Clair Tappaan
Experience"

Ernie Malamud and Olivia Diaz

The 2nd annual "Save the Clair Tappaan Experience" fundraiser will be held at the lodge Friday-Sunday, August 11-13, 2006.

This event-packed weekend will begin Friday night with a moonlight hike and movies in the dining room. We will be able to sit comfortably in the new dining room chairs! On Saturday, after breakfast there will be a choice of hikes of varying difficulty and theme hikes including a Bird Watch Hike, a Local History Hike and a Geology Hike. There also will be mountain bike rides. The Saturday afternoon wine and cheese reception will be in the backyard of the lodge. A highlight of last year's event was the silent auction during this reception. Local merchants and individuals contributed many wonderful gifts and we plan to repeat that this year.

The evening will feature a slide show on the history of CTL in the dining room, live music in the living room and sharing of adventures around the campfire outside. Sunday morning there will be a choice of a bike ride or hikes and we will end this wonderful weekend with an early afternoon barbeque.

There will be a variety of packages available with varying prices: 2-night stay, 1-night stay, and day only. The bulk of the fees will go to support the lodge. Right now we are looking for people to help organize the event. Even though it's a few months away mark your calendars. You won't want to miss it!
