We are very pleased to announce that the Pawtuckaway Open Charity Ice Golf and Chili Bowl has a new Tournament Director and the next event will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012 on Pawtuckaway Lake.
Jay Swymer, a long time supporter of the Open, is the new Tournament Director and Golf Pro. Tricia Guarino is the new Top Chili Chef. The tournament will be held to raise money for Fred’s Fund, a 501c Charity whose mission is to provide funds, goods and services to benefit the families and young patients being treated in the Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD). The course will be essentially the same and the starting point will be the old 9th hole. The address is 15 Meindl Rd.
For more than ten years, we ran the Pawtuckaway Open in support of Families In Transition. We chose that organization because we were so impressed with the quality of their program and their success rate. We are equally impressed with Fred’s Fund and the great work they do for CHaD, striving to make life a little easier for families in the midst of very difficult periods. I encourage you to read more about Fred’s Fund here: www.fredsfund.org .
Eric and I are looking forward to playing in the 2012 event. We hope you’ll join us at the event and in supporting Fred’s Fund.
Mark your calendar for February 4th.

A History and Lessons Learned: Weed Watchers in Action
by Stephen Soreff
Beginnings
Our rebirth as a Weed Watch force commenced in June 2007, at the Pawtuckaway Lake ImprovementAssociation’s (PLIA) annual meeting. PLIA President Tom Duffy, in presenting the work of the Lake Host program,noted the recent absence of Weed Watcher activity. I along with my partner Peggy Tucker volunteeredto rejuvenate it. At that meeting we all naively believed
that our wonderful lake was free of any exotic weeds. Our mission then and now is to back up the Lake Hostprogram. The inspection of vessels coming into our water represents the first line of defense. They are thegate keepers. If you can stop milfoil and other exotic quatic plants before they enter the lake, you have wonthe battle for that day. But what if you missed an exotic
weed or it enters the lake by a different route, what then? Here is where we the Weed Watchers come in: topatrol the shoreline in order to detect any exotic weed. Like many forms of cancer sooner is much better thanslater in terms of detection. Little did we know that our work would soon expand to eradication.

Thanks everyone for a great boat parade this year. We had fantastic weather, yet again. A special shout out to the Shark Boat with working jaws and the floating band (especially the post-parade jazz drive by). Lot's of effort went into so many boats this year, it's hard to say who's the best. See you next year!
