Hello CVOA,

BOARD & MEMBER MEETING JUNE 29

Board and Member Meeting

Sunday June 29, 2025 In Belgrade


Recreation, Lunch, Board & Member Meeting


All CVOA members are welcome to attend. Val and Sam Hudspath have generously offered to be our hosts.


There are many opportunities for activities in the Belgrade Lakes area. Plan to meet at their home around 10 am, and engage in whatever adventure you wish. Activities could include:

  • Paddling – The lawn at the Hudspath’s is flat with a sandy beach from which you can launch canoes or kayaks. They have 3 single kayaks and 1 tandem kayak (or you can bring your own). You can paddle Great Pond and its islands or paddle to the Post Office in Belgrade Lakes, pull up and enjoy a walk around town.
  • Motor boating – You can launch your own craft from a nearby public boat launch. The Hudspaths also have a pontoon boat.
  • Biking – Rt. 27 is a busy road that has a wide shoulder in the area and many locals bike on it.
  • Hiking – There are some easy to moderate trails in the area. Check out www.7lakesalliance.org for descriptions of hikes and maps. Click on “Land” at the top menu bar, then "Trail System." The hikes are 2-6 miles away from the Hudspath’s house.


Lunch at 1pm – CVOA will provide pulled pork and pulled chicken and more. Please plan to bring sides and/or desserts. Please bring your own beverages.


Please contact Val at pvsam1@twc.com to let her know if you are coming for lunch, so we can plan for the appropriate amount of food, and in what morning activity you might be participating. 


Board/Member meeting at 2 pm. We hope you will stay for the meeting.


Directions to the Hudspath's home:The address is 40 Abena Shores Drive, Belgrade 04917, on the shore of Great Pond.
