 Directions to Merrill Rainbow Camp

From the Rotary at Cony High School in Augusta, take Route 105 east (goes up hill on left side of Cony H.S.). At top of hill, Rt. 105 bears left. Stay on Rt. 105 for 9.5 miles and go STRAIGHT THROUGH the intersection where Hussey's General Store is located. Approximately 4 or 5 miles beyond this intersection (on Rt. 105) there are: 2 little bridges right together, then a cluster of houses, and then a farm house on one side of the road with its barn/large shed on the other. As you are going down a little hill, there is a dirt road on the right hand side. Turn RIGHT here--Somerville Road. Camp is approx. 1 mile on the right.

 Bakeless Bake Sale

A bit of news we have today,

A Bakeless Bake Sale is on its way.

In these busy, rushing days, who wants to bake

Pies or cookies or even cake?

You'd be surprised if you counted the cost

Of materials, heat, and the time you'd lost.

Baking for sales is extra work,

Yet nobody really wants to shirk.

So we've thought of a plan that's truly grand,

And feel quite sure you'll understand.

In the enclosed envelope, please put the price

Of a pie or cake, or something nice.

Without fuss or bother you've done your part.

We hope you'll give with a willing heart.

This is the end of our little tale,

Wishing success for this Bakeless Bake Sale.
