Greetings from Marie Hennessy!
What a wonderful, exciting summer we’ve had! It seems just yesterday
that we were hiking, canoeing and biking at our summer
events. It was great to meet new guides and participants!...and YES!
They all agreed to return! Many thanks to Board members who
worked to make these events run so smoothly. And thanks to the Web
Site Committee for their hard work!
We look forward to seeing you all at our winter events!!
We are pleased to announce that the NERSFL Board has decided to send
Sandie Page to the SFL International

Every item in every section must be completed.
Physical Condition
Anyone in average physical condition can expect to participate in
these events. If we have any
questions about your ability to participate , we will call and discuss
it with you. In questionable cases,
the decision to participate will lie with the participant and his or
her physician. Participants must take responsibility for their own
health at these events. Your enjoyment will be enhanced by any measures
you take to improve your physical fitness and stamina before the event.
Transportation
Transportation will be available by car-pooling. You will be
contacted about a week before an event to make
travel arrangements. Guides are encouraged to let us know if
they are willing to drive and how many passengers they can take.
All passengers are expected to contribute towards the cost of gasoline.
If you are coming to an event from out of town, do not make travel plans
on public transportation prior to 7:00 pm on the last day. It is
very difficult to guarantee a
return to transportation centers prior to this time without disrupting
other participants.
