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

Thursday, September 8, 2011

We're going to Canada, too!


We wouldn't dream of making fun of our Canadian hosts in Magog! We are thrilled they're letting us cross that watery border and check out their 2/3rds of Lake Memphremagog.

Excitement is building, along with funds for IROC! Our little search party has raised a lot of money so far, and the good news keeps coming in. Stay tuned for an updated tally soon...
