· New Deck and Dock Safety Policy… (July 7, 2010)

SNCC is adopting a new safety policy in regards to the deck and docks attached to our boathouse.  From today onward the deck and dock is for paddlers only.  We encourage you to stay and watch your children or loved ones paddle, however we ask that you do so from the nice shady area by the large willow trees close to the boathouse as there are a couple of picnic tables in that area for your comfort.  This policy change is for safety reasons and is required by our insurance company.  We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this manner and we hope you are enjoying the hot summer weather.
