We've setup this blog so it will be easier to put out new items. For members most of our news goes out via email.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know.

Compatriots,

Four of us made some great progress last Saturday on the riverside of the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse property. We cut down the underbrush and tree saplings, so they won't block the river over time.

Helping for the day were:

Cliff Van Dyke
Bradley Gehan
Daniel Gehan
Stephen Shaw

We have a long way to go. If you would like to help this Saturday the 14th, we will be starting at 9am again. Plan to bring lopers, hand saws, pruners and some good boots for the steep hill.

Patriotically,

Stephen P. Shaw

Parade Form Up: 1:00 PM Parade Step Off: 2:00 PM

We are planning to arrive in Concord around 7:30 AM at the Alcott School Parking Lot. PARKING FILLS UP FAST SO PLAN TO ARRIVE AROUND 7:30 AM, otherwise you will have to find street parking, or park downtown and walk to the parade start at the Armory. Roads begin to close at 8:00 AM.

Car-Caravan: If anyone is interested in car-caravaning to Concord, Let me know. We will leave from the Commuter Lot at Exit 68 off of I-84 at 5:30 AM SHARP! Otherwise I will see everyone in Concord.

Put your faith in God and keep your powder dry,
