CLEANUP SATURDAY 218 MEMBERS STRONG WATER TEST RESULTS FIREWORKS JULY 5TH
Fireworks over Garner Lake
5-13-08 Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 10am. At that time we ask everyone to clean up any trash near your property on the lake. Volunteers are needed in boats and on shore to help clean trash off the dam. Meet near the overflow at 10am. It won't take long if several folks pitch in.
Thanks to everyone who renewed your GLA membership for 2008. We are Lakeland's largest civic organization with 218 member households as of this posting.
The most recent lake testing found the water to be in excellent shape. Secchi depth has decreased to about 50 inches, which is part of a normal fluctuation in clarity.
The FIREWORKS will be on Saturday, July 5, 2008 at dark (approximately 9:30pm). The annual boat parade will proceed around the lake beginning at 8:00pm. Last year the parade was bigger than ever. Please decorate your boat in the spirit of the Fourth of July and join the parade. Contributions are needed for the fireworks fund. The fireworks are funded solely by your donations. You may drop your contribution off at Tiger Cleaners on Canada Road or mail it to 9800 Windward Slope Cove. Make checks payable to "Garner Lake Fireworks". A donation by individuals or companies of $100 or more will be credited during the show and in Citywatch. Karen Woodward continues her great volunteer work in setting up this outstanding fireworks display. This year you will be able to hear the music over your FM radio. This should make it better for all.

BOATING SAFETY TIP OF THE SEASON:Check your lines (ropes) to insure they are not frayed or sun-rotted. We have had frequent windstorms this spring. That often accelerates wear on lines. Replace them if there is any doubt they will hold your boat. Boats which break loose often end up against the dam. That can result in serious damage to your pontoons, motor and prop.
Send us your Garner Lake photos.
The next meeting of the Garner Lake Association Board of Directors is set for 7:00pm Monday, July 14, 2008 at the International Harvester Club, 4523Canada Road. The meeting is open to the public.
