UPDATED IMPORTANT NOTICES TO ALL MEMBERS
IMPORTANT - Fall septic tank inspections wil be the 2nd week of October. There will be a $10/day fine on any camp owner who does not have a functioning alarm - this fine will accrue until the alarm is fixed and functioning. Fall cleanup will be on Saturday, November 1st beginning at 9AM - Volunteers are needed - these hours count towards probationary members required hours for membership. The pond draw down will begin on Sunday November 30th - the dam is generally left open for 7-9 days - any work being done along the shoreline MUST have a permit! Any camp owners, especially those who live on the water, and plan to do any work in November or through the winter months must contact Eric Adamnson ASAP - these projects require an NOI from the state and take approximately 3 months to secure - once secured, they are good for three years.
