Latest edition of the Chitchat


Hi Folks,

I am back and doing well. I had no idea how I would be after surgery and am very happy Heather Garrow contacted the Chit Chat Board members to help put out the June issue of the Chit Chat. Many thanks to Kevin Plew for compiling it, Heather Garrow for editing, labels, mailing paperwork, my husband Roger for retrieving it from the printers and especially Vicki Seward who gathered the boxes full of Chit Chats ready to be delivered, which she delivered to the post offices for us.

It is time for the July issue of the Chit Chat be put together and my deadline is this Sunday June 22nd, by 6:00 pm. Please have all articles, announcements, advertisements and any other item you wish to share with our community to me by then. Many thanks for your understanding and patience.

Happy Summer,

Diana Garrow, Editor

Star Lake June Cleanups – Take two

The second of three June cleanup activities at Star Lake is planned for Saturday morning, June 21, from 9am to 11am. Please join in at the beach recreation area. The June 14 session provided a small but meaningful start.

This Saturday's session will involve significant weed removal in preparation for the installation of bottom barriers early in July. We will concentrate on two areas, from the beach to the usual raft location, and the Lake Street boat launch area.

Please call Phil at 259-2694 if you have questions. Also, if you think that you, or some of your summer visitors, might want to be of assistance, please call to find out more about weed pulling throughout the season. We can find work for your crew.

LUDLOW BLOOD DRIVE - Monday, July 21, at the Ludlow American Legion. Click here for more information.
