To be clear about a "lake association" the following few points are presented:

Click to enlarge in a new window     no one will sign you up automatically
Click to enlarge in a new window     no one is attempting to take away any of your "rights"
Click to enlarge in a new window     there were no conflicts or mean-spirited confrontations at the 2007 meeting
Click to enlarge in a new window     the recommendation to organize property owners comes from a concern for the lake environment, including the humans who dwell here
Click to enlarge in a new window     as a group we will be better prepared to have an impact in the event that an entity makes plans to alter the environment in an adverse manner... such as establishing a public boat landing, adverse noise from airport flight patterns, lake stocking, multi-family dwellings ("not that there's anything wrong with multi-family dwellings" see Seinfeld episode)

The 2009 summer property owners' meeting was held at 1:00 PM Sunday, August 30th,
at Bill and Mary Padgett's home, 3852 Sheep Ranch Road.

The 2009 annual meeting was well attended and we discussed several matters of mutual concern for all the lake's caretakers.  Special thanks go out to Bill and Mary and their children for being so generous with their time and help in arranging the meeting and providing some tasty snacks!  Mary Lewandowski put a lot of time and attention into the meeting topics and gathered important information about lake/environmental quality.  Mike Backes and others made suggestions and presented data about maintaining the unique quality and ambiance of the Soo Lake environment.
We will have a blog spot soon so that updates and input from can be presented and read more efficiently.  Feel free to say "Hello" to others on the lake or post a comment, criticism, or suggestion.  We're all "in this together" so cultivating a sense of community...even if more virtual than physical... is of benefit to all of us who have the good fortune to spend time on this little gem of a lake.  A spring walleye spawning improvement project is planned!  Details will be posted after ice out.

We are looking for someone to volunteer to host the 2010 "get-together" 
and then we can set a date that works best for everyone.
