1990 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

 

The annual O.W. L. General Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 2, 1990. It will be held at the Brighton Township Hall on Buno Road at 7:30 p.m.

The O.W.L.

The (2) speakers will be the Livingston County Sheriff to discuss boating rules and regulations and Mr. Ernie Mair, Weed Control Applications Contractor and Consultant. These speakers will be present to discuss and answer any questions regarding boating safety and weed control. Discussion and hand-outs will be available on the new technique of weed control known as ‘Sonar”.

Among the topics at this meeting will be; Lake Drawdown, Weed Control, Lake Area Building Development Update, Dam Maintenance, New Officer Elections, and other lake topics.

The Organization of Woodland Lake needs your support. We are asking that all lake residents please attend.., take a part in your lake... we need your help!

We are looking forward to seeing you on May 2nd.!!!

 

O.W.L.  MEMBERSHIP DUES

 

The Organization of Woodland Lake over the years has been recognized by the D.N.R. as solely responsible for the beautification and well being of Woodland Lake. OWL. is trying to improve Woodland Lake through education and action.

Although simple as it may seem to most lakefront residents whom are not involved in OWL., the lake maintenance process is one that takes time, effort, and FUNDING (membership dues.)

OWL, has constantly had difficulty in obtaining the necessary monies required to properly administer weed control treatment, perform dam maintenance, and other miscellaneous costs directly related to lake water maintenance. For example, weed control for 1990 is estimated at Sl5,000.00~$l6.000.00. Yes, this sounds like a lot of money. iris. but Woodland Lake is worth it... would Woodland Lake look as beautiful and appealing to lake residents if it was a weed thickened marsh only yielding to frogs, insects, and other such habitat. This could happen to Woodland Lake in the long term if we do not all stay involved and pay the NECESSARY price to keep Woodland Lake as beautiful as it presently is.

     Like all other costs in our economy. Woodland Lake weed control becomes more expensive each year, due to rising costs of chemicals and their related application. The residents of Woodland Lake MUST realize the importance of becoming a member of O.W.L. and contributing to it s efforts Without the sufficient collection of the annual dues, O.W.L. cannot plan and operate in the “best” interest of our beautiful lake. Therefore, O.W.L. is asking for YOUR HELP - pay your dues before May

 

 

1st - so we can get started on our weed control. (For more details, please attend our May 2nd General Meeting.)

        For your information and review, listed below are the 1988 and 1989 statistics of O.W.L. Member/Contributors listed by geographical location around the lake. Also listed are the total number of 1990 lakefront residents.

Compare the actual 1990 lakefront residences to the 1980 PAID” households and you can see very clearly which areas around our lake ARE NOT participating and doing their part. OWL. needs each and every lakefront resident to be an OWL. paying member.
