          The Club had decided at the end of December to reschedule the canceled

             of weather problems, conflicts with other events (including the Superbowl)

             the club decided to postpone the dinner until spring.

               Land Trust. Melissa discribed some of the recent accomplishments of the

              Trust, including the Fairchild Easement on Gerrish Island along Chauncey

              Creek. She also reviewed the accomplishments of the KLT with other

               regional land trust and Govenment organizations on the

              Agamenticus-to-the-Sea project, which has succeeded in raising over

              $10 million dollars and gaining conservation easements on land over

              $23 million in value in southern Maine.
