gave highlights from Dave Faler:
- lake level is +2.96 and fluctuating, the gates have been closed since March 1st.
- Fishing is phenomenal; crappie and catfish are biting and a 10 lb walleye was caught.
- Earth Day, which coincides with the State Park’s annual Lake Clean Up Day is April 20th. We understand that this is Easter weekend, but hope you can still make it out to help for an hour or five. We will meet at Rustic for breakfast as usual @ 7-7:30AM, then will break into teams to start the cleanup.
- August 17th will be the new date for the Corn Roast. The magnet shows August 31st, but this is Labor Day weekend and Bass Landing has already been reserved. Please update your magnets.
- Ryan Beatty organized our Paint the Town ad, which begins next month. We purchased a 6 month ad for $300.
- Treasurer,
Dave Meyer handled the elections, please see below from Dave:
- Nominations for the offices of the GLRC are closed as of March 1st. I have 4 nominations, 1 for each office. Amy is giving up the Secretary position! I have contacted each person that was nominated and each one declined their nomination except for Renee Welch, she will take over the Secretary position. No election by ballot is needed, we are on the way for another good year. I might add that all nominations said that they would not run for office as long as the Officers in place wanted to do their respective job’s. When they get tired of their positions and want to move on, that they would be proud to step up and help run the organization.
