The 2006 Pawtuckaway Lake Improvement Association (PLIA) Annual Meeting kicked off the summer season with a full-house crowd on Saturday morning. New programs, new grant money, new volunteers, and exciting guest panelists topped this years agenda.
It takes two presidents to keep up with all the programs going on this year in the PLIA. Co-President Donna Danis is focussing on community-based programs while Co-President Tom Duffy is focussing on Environmental programs.
As part of her community based iniative, Donna Danis introduced the Pawtuckaway Kids program. After a brief outline of the new program, Donna turned the podium over to Lauren Chaurette head of the new committee.
Lauren Chaurette, with helpers Elisabeth Danis, Andrew Dziuba, and Cory Mokos, kicks off the new Pawtuckaway Kids program series.
The Civic Panel handled questions from the audience on a variety of topics including new boating safety course requirements, State Park policing issues, the Mulligan forest greenway, and Nottingham's new concert series.
