In agreement with the law enforcement agencies including our local wardens, we are continuing to promote this event as a family affair, we welcome you, your kids and grandkids, your friends, and we ask that you all keep safety and responsible behavior at the forefront! We also ask that everyone keep the lake pristine. Keep cigarette butts, trash, bottles, cans, jello shots, out of our beautiful lake. Thank you for this cooperative effort!

A Review of Some Long Ago Past Events
ANNUAL MEETING 2013
Saturday July 13 at 4pm
Augusta Country Club
The meeting will be set up much like last year's annual meeting, so make your plans now as seating is limited. This will be another opportunity for us to join friends for a fine social event. Great food, great company and a chance to learn more about our lake. Join us. Reserve soon!
On our dinner menu: Tossed salad, Caesar salad, fruit bowl, rolls, baked manicotti with roasted garlic marina sauce, herb roasted pork loin, broiled haddock with wine, seasonal veggies, roasted red potatoes, and dessert…strawberry shortcake! YES! See you there.
Another Success (Sort of!)
It was a beautiful summer day, something that has certainly been in short order recently, and those in attendance at this 2013 annual meeting were treated to an excellent buffet and a fantastic strawberry shortcake for dessert! Officers, executive committee members and advisory members were elected for 2013-2015, Captain Hugh Stephens gave us some interesting historical tidbits, and our invited guests briefed us on the condition of the lake at this time.
The only question at this time has to be, why are the numbers of those attending this important club event dwindling on an annual basis? We used to get 80-90 people, but by 2012 we were down to the low 50s and this year the low 40s! The setting for the meeting (the Augusta Country Club) is a great venue for us, the food has been consistently good, everyone seems to have a fine time, and the speakers are brief and informative speaking about issues that are of direct concern to us. So, what is the answer? Your ideas? Contact the Commodore at commodore@cycmaine.orgwith any suggestions. As Vice Commodore, Bill Kieltyka, recently pointed out, "The meeting has so much information packed into it, and only 40 people get to hear about it!" So true! What can we do folks?
WOW!
Another Great Concert!
Saturday, July 28, 2012

This is our most popular event of the summer! It has become a Lake Cobbosseecontee and CYC tradition! But let's be sure to keep SAFETY as a top priority! Be slow entering the cove. Do not overload your boat! Respect the no wake zone rules! And always be aware of those in the water around you.
BE SAFE!
And also remember.....
A fishnet will be passed for donations to the
CYC Lake Preservation Fund.
It was a great dayuntil the storm! Hundreds of fine family folk had a great time in the cove listening to fine music, swimmin' and munchin.' WOW!

2009 Concert in Horseshoe Cove a Great Success (School Street Band Was Awesome!)
Our annual Concert in Horseshoe Cove took place on the 4th Saturday in July (7/25/09), at 1 PM. And clearly you did your sun dance as it was a beautiful afternoon, but did you participate in Laura's new tradition? Maybe next year?
Thanks to Clark Marine, our sponsor! As a result of their annual generosity, the $500 collected this year (thank you to all who were so generous),goes directly to our Lake Preservation Fund. CYC, according to its By-laws, must "promote the appreciation and wise use of the lake, protect its natural beauty, promote boating and water safety, and promote the overall improvement of water quality."
So again, thank you for helping us in our quest to maintain this beautiful lake by contributing so generously!
What a great afternoon it was. Superb weather, a fantastic crowd, probably a record number of boats, and School Street Band was awesome. Laura Hudson! Great addition, guys!
$695.25 Collected for the CYC Lake Preservation Fund. Another record. Many thanks to you all!
