The Sanborn Family Association is holding its Biennial gathering in Maine this year at Fort Williams Park just south of Portland at Cape Elizabeth on Saturday 18 August 2007 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Although you may not be a member of the Association, you are a Sanborn and are welcome, with your families, to join us for an informative and fun-filled day.
Fort Williams Park offers a parking area, miles of trails, numerous military buildings of another era, awesome views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Portland Head Light. To view the Park’s many attractions go to http://www.fortwilliams.org/. The meeting and eating area is in the Picnic Shelter so events will take place rain or shine. See page 35 of the Fort Williams Master Plan for a view of the Picnic Shelter. For the Portland Head Light go to http://www.portlandheadlight.com/. See the enclosed registration form for the schedule and other details. Call (802) 773-7525 or email me for any questions that are not answered in the form.]
For those who would like to extend their visit into Sunday, there are numerous attractions in the Portland area that you might wish to visit. There will be brochures and information available on Saturday at our gathering.
The extended Sanborn Family has a long and proud tradition in America. The Association welcomes not only those who bear the Sanborn name but any families (such as mine) who have Sanborn ancestors. Please share this invitation with anyone you know that has Sanborn roots.
If, for whatever reasons, you are not able to join us this August perhaps in two years you could join us. If you are not currently a member of the Sanborn Family Association, please consider becoming a member and twice a year receiving our magazine about Sanborns past and present.
