A Midwinter Outing and Gathering
The Harvard Club in Maine warmly invites
all Maine alums of the Ivy League schools to two events:
A Midwinter Outing
Come join us at Pineland Farms for an afternoon of snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding, fat biking, ice skating, or disc golf.
This is an exceptional outdoor recreational area in southern Maine close to Portland: see their Trail Map for Recreation & Activities for details.
They have 30 kilometers of professionally designed, well-kept trails, a groomed sledding hill, and an 80'x80' skating rink.
The Market is a short drive from the Outdoor Center and a great place for lunch before heading out.
Their Outdoor Center provides ski and snowshoe rentals, waxing benches, disc golf, winter sports gear, other supplies, and locker rooms.
We will meet at 1 pm at the Outdoor Center and we will head out for the winter activities in groups or singly as we like.
A Midwinter Gathering
Please join us at Gordy Scannell (H ’75) and Kimberly Moody's home abutting Pineland from 3:30 pm.
Warm up by the fire and visit over winter stew & bread, and beer, wine, or cider.
Please bring food and drinks for the Gathering, if you like.
This will be a great opportunity for you to meet alums from your school and fellow schools,
and you may also meet old friends who live in our lovely state!
We will have the Gathering irrespective of whether the weather conditions are conducive for the Outing,
and you are welcome to come just for the Gathering.
