Minimum age is 18 but I will consider 17 year olds. Program volunteers are also the first considered for our few paid positions.

Henry and his wife Pricilla built a camp and have been coming up weekends ever since. Henry shares some memories about his neighbors and provides some history about the area before the State Park was developed. Sadly, Henry passed away on Friday, April 13, 2012, he will be missed by all who knew him.

They monitor water levels, air temperature and precipitation based on the readings. Full is about 251 feet above sea level. ( The top of the Mountain shows 1262 feet on most maps). Subtract the readings and that's how far we are from full .

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.

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!
