If you have a historical story about Embden please send it to embdenpondassociation@gmail.com to be considered for our fall newsletter. Deadline is October 12.

Our speaker this year was Betsey Putnam from Redington Fairview General Hosipital. She will be discussing ticks. We held the annual meeting and barbecue at the Embden Community Center due to the weather.

This is a message from Ernie Falcone, E.P.A. president.

I would like to thank all the officers, committee chairs and volunteers who helped make this year’s Welcome Back Breakfast a huge success. I would especially like to thank the kitchen staff who endured tremendous heat to bring all of us a very tasty breakfast. Thank you all for your donations and membership dollars which will help us to continue our mission to protect the quality and beauty of Embden Pond. Without your support, our association would not exist. I hope to see you all at the annual business meeting August 4th at the Miller camp. As I promised, there is a menu change to include BBQ ribs. Please plan on attending. Our speaker’s topic this year is TICKS. Come and learn how to protect yourself.
Enjoy the summer,

Ernie

Janine will call the winners! It was hard to judge. We used the people around us to help too.

We had two speakers at our annual meeting and barbecue.

Speaker: Game warden, Will Schuman from Newport, spoke about boating safety. Did you know that kayaks and canoes need a sound making device like a whistle in them just as boats do? Did you know that boats all need a throwable cushion as well as a life preserver for each person in your craft?

A thank you note from Ernie:  To the officers, board members, committee chairs, volunteers who helped this weekend and most importantly to the great members of the Embden Pond Association. I want to offer my sincere thanks for making this 4th of July Welcome Back Breakfast an overwhelming success.

The dedication in honor of Henry and Ellen Hinman was very well attended and I know it was very heartwarming for the Hinman family.

I have never seen so many boats in the parade and everyone out did themselves with the decorations.

I am humbled by the support you all have given me and I promise to continue to work to maintain the quality of Embden Pond our little secret lake in Maine.

Look for some surprises in the fall newsletter and as always I welcome any thoughts and suggestions.

Have a safe, healthy, and happy summer.

Thank you,

Ernie Falcone (Pictures from the Hinman bench dedication can be found on the “boat launch page” of this website and on our Facebook page.)
