[IOCA] Fall Lake George Sept 25-27, 2009

[info at ioca.org]

To fellow IOCA members,

It is that time of year again to start getting excited for Fall Lake George! 

Fall Lake George gathers together about 250 college students and alumni
from schools all over the east coast to Lake George.  On Friday afternoon
they will have the option of taking a powerboat or a canoe to Turtle
island which is about two miles away from the launch site, Veterans Beach
(in Bolton Landing). Once on the island they will setup camp and settle
in for the night.  On Saturday morning, all the real fun begins! The
Rensselaer Outing Club as well as other outing clubs will be leading
trips of all different types. Rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, cliff
jumping and hiking are just some of the things that people will be doing.
On Saturday evening, once everyone has gotten back to the island, a huge
feast is served, followed by a traditional Square Dance. If you have
never Square Danced you can't say you don't like it until you have tried
it.  On Sunday most people sleep in, exchange names and info and then
head home.

This year we will be departing from Veterans Beach in Bolton Landing on
Friday September 25. We launched from the same place last year and the
year before. The powerboats and canoes will be available starting at noon
on Friday. You can arrive any time after 2 pm but after dark we cannot
guarantee that any boats will be able to leave the beach so the earlier
you can arrive the better.

With all your help this can be another great year!

As always, Fall Lake George is a dry event.  It really ends up being a
lot more fun this way so I urge all club leaders to pass this information
on to those who will be attending.

Cliff notes:
FLG is 9/25-27
Meet at Bolton Landing anytime after 2 pm on Friday.
Chill on the island and have a great time on Friday and Saturday.
Head home on Sunday.
FLG is a **DRY** event: so leave your alcohol back at home.
FLG website is here: http://outingclub-alpha.union.rpi.edu/flg_info.php
I can't wait to see you all on Turtle Island.
 
More detailed information including pricing and payment instructions will
be given towards mid to late August.

Feel free to email me with any further questions.
