Old business:
Larry Ghimenti gave a status of the upcoming spraying of Round, Long Trade & Little Trade Lake. A member from Long Trade reported seeing someone possibly spraying on Long Trade Lake. After the meeting it was discovered that the pretreatment survey was completed by Matt Berg Friday May 17, 2013. We are running approximately 1 month behind due to the late ice
melt. Round will be sprayed for EWM. Little Trade and Long Trade Lakes will be sprayed for CLP first and then EWM in late June. The plans can be found on the association website.
The board members were asked their plans for getting volunteers. Jack LaMont from Long Trade will maintain a high level of communication by email and developing core groups of 6-8 families and then have larger meetings to tighten up volunteer plans, then to have larger gatherings such as the annual July 4th picnic.
Reid McFarland board member from Trade Lake created an informational pamphlet containing the lake association’s purpose and accomplishments and how to become involved. He suggested that these can be made available at the landings as well as bringing them door to door to lake owners.
New Business:
The board members were asked to provide the date of their July 4th picnic to Laurie prior to the June Newsletter
