Post cards were sent out with the Spring Fling information. This is a joint venture with Stella and Manuella on March 19th. John F. will get information for “Spring Fling”. Asking a board member attending to take about 10 minutes to talk about what Lake Washington Association is doing regarding milfoil, shoreline treatments, siren, etc.
Board Approved having the Outdoor Corp continue again this year doing the lake monitoring. Discussion about this 2005 report followed: we want to know what the report means, how we can use the information for planning and educating members. Kim W & Rick F will meet with Lee Sundmark and review what the report means to us. Also Kim will contact them and ask for an action plan similar to previous years. Storm Siren ordered in January for installation this spring. Board approved hiring the siren company to complete installation at a cost of about $1000.
