Join MBTA in September for our annual fall convention!  

Friday afternoon and evening:

The MBTA Fall Convention will kick off on Friday afternoon, September 11, with a cruise of beautiful Camden Harbor, 3 to 5 pm. After the cruise, we will head to the Samoset for a reception and traditional Downeast Lobster Bake, followed by a live and/or silent auction.   Special thanks to Brian Bouchard and H.O. Bouchard, Inc. for sponsoring the Grand Reception!

Saturday morning, September 12:

Saturday morning will feature a golf tournament at the beautiful Samoset Resort Golf Club,  with an 8:30 am shotgun start. Also on Saturday morning, a free tennis clinic is being sponsored by Frankenmuth Surety featuring award-winning Tennis Pro Wayne St. Peter.  Beginner's clinic from 9-10:30, followed by a social round robin tourney at 11 am.  Register today to secure your spot!  An awards luncheon after the golf tournament will conclude the MBTA Convention events; however, those who wish to enjoy the Camden-Rockport area on their own may enjoy the discounted room rate which the Samoset has extended to Saturday night as well.

So much to do!

The beautiful midcoast area offers many opportunities for recreation, culture, shopping and more. There is hiking in Camden Hills State Park and kayaking, sailing and other water sports. Boutiques, shops, galleries and museums abound throughout the area.  Museum, chocolate making, and winery or brewery tours available.  MBTA will have a list of activities available in the area.

Please reserve your hotel reservation at the Samoset with a very special MBTA room rate here:  Maine Better Transportation Assn.  Please reserve your discounted room by August 17 ($174-$289 per night, plus a $25 resort fee).
