The team from Enroscience planted 12,000  weevils  in the lake Wed. June 16, 2010.   We found a large new patch of the eurasian milfoil on the west side of the lake north of Echo Park. This area and other planted areas are marked with an orange bouy.  Please stay away from these areas as they are areas of large infestation, will get on your boat and the weeds will be carried to other areas. More weevils were planted in two other large existing infestations.  We learned that we have had good results in the areas we planted last year.  Two areas are almost gone and the other two large areas greatly reduced. We hope that the weevil colonies planted last year and this year continue to multiply.   Please learn to site this weed as that is how we can be sure to get weevils planted in the correct areas.  Even with our appartant sucess we realize that this project will continue for at least three more years. Watch for the raffle and be sure to buy your tickets and send in your membership.  Thank you.

The weevils will be planted Wed. June 16, 2010 at about 4:00 p.m. They will be leaving from Dave Daniels dock. If you are interested in seeing this you can attend or call Dave for more information. They are planting 12,000 this year.

We have had numerous request for a membership list.  The board has come up with an idea to making a list available.  It will be available to members only by attachment to an e-mail or hard copy in the mail or person.  Nothing will be on the website for anyone to see. If you want to be on the list please e-mail Sally or put your information in the private contact area on the website. Only Sally and Derrick can get information from that area. You are free to list any information:  names, home and/or lake address, phone numbers( home, cottage& /or cells) and e-mail address. Only  items YOU want listed will be on the sheet.  Work will be done on this over the winter. We hope to have a good start  in the spring when the first newsletter goes out.  The members that are on snail mail will be asked to input information in the first spring mailing.
 
Please remember to contact us on the website or via Sally if you change your e-mail,  Our goal is to get 100% of our membership using e-mail instead of the US post office.  We do know that won’t happen but we are closer all the time.  If you know a neighbor that might not have contacted us with his e-mail please let us know. This is your Lake Association and we want to respond to your request.
