2015 Final Annual Report - in PDF Format
October 16, 2015
The Acton-Shapleigh Youth Conservation Corps is finishing another successful season and we wanted to take the time to thank all of our supporters for helping us to achieve so many great things this year. Our 11th annual fundraising golf event, held on August 7, 2015, at Province Lake Golf Course in Parsonsfield, helped provide valuable funding for our outreach/water quality programs.
The event was a great success. 130 golfers and volunteers gathered to help raise, with your support, OVER $22,500!
This effort demonstrates what is accomplished when property owners, business owners and supporters come together in support of our lakes. This season, you helped the ASYCC to complete 24 erosion control projects and inspect over 6,000 boats.
