A concern was expressed about certain people visiting certain establishments by boat and returning home at 2 a.m. Sound travels extremely well over water and especially in the silence at that hour. Patrols would be appreciated and are necessary to preserve the peace. If you are out there at these hours, please abide by the rules and be respectful of lakeside property owners.
Future CRC meetings will feature speakers on various subjects of interest. In May we will host the Friends of Suffield Library who will explain the plans for the new building. In June, landscaping and lighting on the Lake.
Scott Feron thanked all the volunteers, especially Tom Talamini and Rick Crosby, who have helped at Babb’s in all weather this winter. There was a propane heater donated so people could warm up and in foul weather there was work to do inside the rink. The east side is enclosed and we continue to work on enclosing the shed roof. Framers and carpenters are still badly needed! Please join us on Saturdays from 8-noon, Sundays from noon to 4:00 or so, and if you can come at other times, please call Scott. His number is on the website, www.babbsrink.org. Please see the website for our guest book feature, where you can share your memories, and check out work pictures and updates.
The annual lake cleanup is planned for Saturday June 7th, and we will host an Open House at the rink in conjunction with the other CT Department of Tourism Open Houses. Stop in on June 14th and see all the progress that has been made!
Our next meeting is Tuesday, May 13th at Crabby Joe’s Bar & Grill at 7:30 pm downstairs. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come and be a part of the fun! We’re looking for people to be involved on the various activities, as well as to fill a board position for funding options. See you there!
