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

IN SEARCH OF MEMPHRE

The Search Continues...

THE SEARCH CONTINUES

We've mapped the length of the lake once, and now we know some of Memphre's secret hiding places. All the better to find her next year!

Ten swimmer scouts have set their sights on September 8, 2012 to continue their search for that elusive lake creature, Memphre.

New blood Davis Lee and Amanda Hunt have signed on to this invitational expedition. Veterans Elaine Howley, Bill Shipp, David Dammerman, Emma Otto-Moudry, Liz Fry, Alison Meehan, Shannon Kegan, and Jen Dutton have tossed their hats in the ring for a second jaunt.

If you support the mission, support a more open border, and support IROC as it struggles for survival in the Northeast Kingdom, please donate here, either in support of one of our swimmers on in general support of the expedition.
