Hello Garfield Lake Association members,
In the following link you will find the minutes of our GLA Board meeting from last Wednesday, June 24, which has been posted to our website. I encourage you to take a moment and go thru it and take a look at our website while you are there. Along with news of the AIS monitoring and the good news we heard last week ,there were no Zebra Mussel Villagers found in our June testing! We also covered who and how many zebra mussel sampling tubes are out ; the DNR Sunfish Project ; the status of assigning a Conservation Officer by the DNR in the fall ; loon nesting pairs on the lake and thoughts about the 2 nests we had out ; COLA’s request for budgeting AIS inspection hours for 2021 and interest in the Garfield Lake Association website.
The GLA web site was put together by one of our members, Bill Karsten and is really cool. Along with a place to keep the “Organizational Plans” of our Lake Association it has updates on events going on around the lake and great photos of wildlife and nature. We are hoping that our membership will use it and as they do, learn to add comments and or other photos they would like to share. If you have not already done so, please go take a look and leave a comment and or a thought. The link is: https://garfieldlakeassociation.com/
One final Garfield Lake event coming up next week is the annual July 4th Boat Parade. As in the past, it will be held on Saturday, July 4th at 4:00pm. We start the Boat Parade at the beach and take a circle around the lake waving to those on other boats and who are sitting on their docks waving to us. A simple and fun way to celebrate together , yet doing so at a distance.
Enjoy, Ron Ray, President
