We are in the process of reviewing and editing all memoirs submitted for the next Belvedere Club Book and compiling the manuscript for printing. We hope to have books available by next summer! Several people have asked if it is too late to submit a memoir.

We will continue to accept submissions until December, but it would be helpful to know what additional submissions to expect. If you have not yet submitted your memoire, and plan to do so, please let Chris Payne know at [email protected], and give him a date by which he should expect it. Please make an effort to share memorable moments from your years at Charlevoix that others would enjoy.

Also, Chip Leakas continues to work on improving the Archives section on the Club website. We have accumulated a large number of historical photos and have the ability to create a rich photo archive that will be searchable by names, dates, or whatever keyword you like. For example, we have some wonderful pictures of the incredible Rustic Bridge and the old hotel(s).

While the number of photos that we can include in the book is limited, we are not limited on the website, so we encourage all of you to send in any digital photos you related to the Club and our members. They should be sent to Chris at the email above, and Chip at [email protected].

Please include any dates and names of the people in the pictures, and any negatives and slides scanned as well to add to the gallery. If you are not comfortable scanning your photos yourself, there are several services that are available for this, such as www.legacybox.com and www.scancafe.com to name two.

Take a look at the photos we already have on the website and let us know if you can add any names, dates, locations, or other descriptive info.

This is a great way to preserve memories for future generations.
Thanks!

The Archives Committee
