Got old water skis, wakeboards, kneeboards, or any other old boat “stuff” cluttering up your boat house? The Deep Creek Lake Lions Club will gladly take it off your hands and “up-cycle” them into a new community landmark!
Earlier this year the club built and presented to Wisp Resort a “Ski Throne” at the Blind Skier 50th Anniversary Gala to recognize their support of the program. The throne was made of old skis donated to the club and even included a set engraved with local legend and long-time club member Ed King’s name.
The club is now building another ridiculously large throne, this time with water skis to commemorate its Blind Camper Program, and will be located at the McHenry Community Park, which the club operates and uses as a basecamp for the Blind Camper Program.
If you’ve got contributions to this project you can drop them off any time at the park on 1249 Bumble Bee Rd, Accident, MD, in the area next to our shed. There is a blue barrel with a sign for ski Deep Creek Lions Club
Collecting Old Water Skis By Chris Nichols donations there. The club is also always accepting donations of any kinds of boats or other recreational vehicles to support these programs. Donors receive a tax deduction, free up space for their next toy, and the club auctions off these items annually.
