WLA Annual Meeting & Social

The 2011 Watchic Lake Annual Meeting & Social was held on July 9th at Kiwanis Beach. Over 40 members attended the meeting to hear updates on the Dam Reconstruction project, Lake Quality, 113 Remediation Efforts, Capital Fund Drive, Membership, Treasurer's report, and vote in the new Board of Directors.
The following is a brief summary of events;
113 Project/Capital Fund Drive
Steve Center presented an overview of the Route 113 Project, giving background and reasoning behind the project, including how the WLA mission supports the work. He indicated that there have been setbacks, but that we have overcome them and expect to complete the project this summer. However, we do not have enough money to get this done, at this point. Once the bids are in, we will address the gap.
Steve gave an update on the CFD, including background, goals, and activities that have taken place. The second phase is now underway. Steve passed out a the green sheet supporting Phase II, described the points on the sheet, and asked attendees to help boost the CFD in their neighborhoods. He finished by describing an investment mindset which supports maintaining shorefront property values by strong lake stewardship.
