Exciting FLLA News June 2018

Dear Friends of the Lake;

I thought I would give you an update on some exciting developments that the FLLA has agreed to do and which will hopefully benefit all of you as members of the FLLA and users of the lake.

First, at our last FLLA board meeting it was approved to contribute $3,800 toward getting lights on the buoys between 1st and 2nd lakes and 2nd and 3rd lakes. For those of you that are on the lake at night it is impossible to find those channels in the dark. The buoys are provided by Washington County and installed by the sheriff department. The county told us they do not have the budget to get lights on the buoys so our contribution to the sheriff department will provide the funds to purchase the lights. We will have a much safer lake at night once the lights are installed sometime in July.

Second, the board also approved an expenditure of $4,600 to add 4 more sections approximately 48'-0" to the public dock at lakeside park. For those of you that have docked there in the past there is never enough dock space for all of the boats that want to use that dock. Adding 4 more sections may not eliminate that issue but it will help. I hope you enjoy the new docking space.

Third, The FLLA was asked if we wanted to be the recipient of the proceeds from the annual Powerboat race that happens each year on 1st lake. The board agreed that we would be willing to do that and after much discussion it was also agreed that our annual pontoon boat tie up that was scheduled to happen on June 23rd will be rescheduled for July 15th which will be the last day of the races and we will have the tie up on 1st lake and watch the races. More details to follow.

I want to remind you that our free annual BBQ will be held on July 19th at Lakeside Park from 5:30 PM - -7:30 PM. This is free to our members and your families. Famous Dave's will be served so please mark your calendars and come and enjoy some great food and visit with other FLLA members. More details to follow.

Summer is always a busy time. The FLLA board hopes you all enjoy the lake this summer and be safe on the water.

Sincerely

Jerry Grundtner, President
