Mount Holly Recreation Committee Meeting Tuesday at 5:30 in the Historical Museum.

Everyone is invited to come. We are an informal group seeking ways to increase opportunities for recreation in our town. Our current emphasis is on identifying trails that can be used for walking or cross-country skiing. There are many trails here but some of us don't know exactly where to go. We plan to prepare maps and directions that can be shared with local residents.

We are also open to other ideas. I wonder whether we could do something to facilitate skating on Star Lake?

If you have ideas or questions and cannot attend Tuesday please send me an email.
