The new pool at the State Park is complete and the Friday before Memorial Day, there will be an opening ceremony and it will be officially open.
- Lake Cleanup went very well. We brought logs into Duckfoot’s and they were quickly taken by local campers. Also, Boater’s Beach was thoroughly cleared and looks great! Thank you all so much who participated!
- The Bicycle Poker Run now has a full page ad in Paint the Town magazine! Thank you Ryan Beatty for heading up this project and getting us a good deal and a new business member.

- Please think of new t-shirt ideas for the quarterly meeting coming up. We’ll keep our current logo, and would like to enhance the design, like adding a line or two on the back that explains what we are all about.
