Let’s get muddy now so we won’t have to get muddy later!

Chaffee Beach is one of Andover’s most visited spots in the summer, but recently it has lost a bit of its charm. Join Sophie Viandier on Sunday, June 8, from 1 to 3 PM to design our dream Chaffee Beach. We will look at how to address the drainage, improve the eating area, and make the place beautiful; then we’ll implement the project the following Sunday, June 15, from 1 to 5 PM.

Join for whichever session(s) most interest you. We are in need of: townspeople who love the beach, pallets for boardwalks and picnic tables, perennial flowers, litter-pickers, hammers and nails, drills and screws, shovels, rakes, and other implements of creation.

If you have questions, comments, or items to donate, please e-mail Sophie at SGViandier@nullgmail.com or call 848-0171. Let’s bring the beach back to life for the swimming season!

We will meet at Chaffee Beach for both sessions. The rain location for June 8 is Sophie’s house, Pay It Forward Farm, at 1129 Franklin Highway. The rain date for June 15 is Sunday, June 22.
