Leaser LakeFishing Maps Available: The Kempton Lions Club has beautifulbathymetric maps (the underwater equivalent to a topographic map on land) for sale that show all the secret hidey-holes where fish hang out in LeaserLake. If you are a fisher, you already know that the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission, along with many volunteers, installed a large number andvariety of fish-habitat structures on the bottom of the lake when it was empty. Despite anything you might have heard to the contrary, LeaserLakeis open for fishing. But you’ll need a map! Only $5.00, and it helps the Kempton Lions Club help the Leaser Lake Heritage Foundation to purchase andinstall handicapped-accessible recreation facilities at the lake’s western access area. Contact Tom (4376) or Mark (6745) to get yours.
Shakespeare in Bryn Athyn this weekend:I am directing three short pieces for B-Act's Bard in theBorough this weekend (Fri 7:30; Sat 2:00 and 7:30), and would love it ifsome Kempton folks could make it. There are alsosonnets, Shakespearean insults, a group of kids doing a shortened versionof Midsummer Night's Dream, and other vignettes and parodies. Kent Cooperhas written lovely music to go with several of Shakespeare's songs. It is very much a community show and whets the appetite for the Bard. (There are even period refreshments for sale.) It's appropriate for older kids,depending on family sensitivities, but parents are free tocall/email/FB me if they want help making a judgment. I know it's a long drive, and it’s Memorial Dayweekend, but if you're looking for an outing, I hope you will considerthis. There's a discount on groups of 5:mitchellcenter.info Contact me at 215-407-3001 Thanks – Ayisha
Kittens: We have three super-cute kittens in need of a good home sometime in the next few weeks. Please call the Judsons (215-421-1378) for more info.
