The route has been set. Our initial plan is to begin in Newport and end in Magog. But that's just a plan. Mother Nature will have something to say about it at launch time.
On the weekend marking the 10th Anniversary of September 11th, a band of brave swimmer scouts and their crews set out to cross the length of Lake Mempremagog between Newport, Vermont and Magog, Quebec. Their mission is threefold:
• To promote a more open border with our Canadian friends and neighbors even as we support efforts to deal with terrorist activities
• To raise funds for the continuing operations of IROC (the Indoor Recreation Center Orleans County), which provides health & wellness services for people at risk such as those suffering from diabetes, heart disease and cancer
• And, of course, this merry band set out in search of Memphré, the famed creature of Lake Memphremagog
Show your support for this endeavor. Contribute to IROC here:
