4th of July - Approaching Quickly - Help Needed!
Hello! The 4th is just around the corner. Please look at the activities that are coming up for the 4th and try to help with one. Please reply to let me know if you will be helping.
Tonight – We’ll be gathering in Michelle's yard to stand on the Belle to lift her far enough to fasten some bolts on the motor.
NOW
– If you have a floating dock or a neighbor who does not have a boat
but has a floating dock please mark the dock number that that dock
belongs to clearly on the side of the dock so we will know where to
return it. Put floats on your chains or ropes so that it is easy for us
to untie your dock and take it.
The 30th
of June, 6:15 PM – we will be towing the floating docks to the center
of the lake and assembling them. If you have a boat please come out and
help us tow. If you don’t you can always volunteer with someone who
does and be the person who ties and works the lines.
The 4th of July –
5:45 PM – we need someone to carry boat race notification sign around the lake
6:15
– we need people with a boat who can help with handing out ribbons,
photographing and documenting the winners and act as the “boat to go
around”.
7:15 – we need someone to carry the boat parade notification sign around the lake
The 5th
of July 6:15 – We need people to return boats to their owners. If you
have a boat and a dock we would appreciate it if you would pick up your
own. If they are clearly marked this will be an easy job.
New neighbor?
If
you have a new neighbor or see a neighbor who is not flying a fireworks
flag (this year they are red and white checked) please take them the
letter attached and let them know we’d love to have them as a member and
their help in paying for the fireworks. This includes the neighbors in
the neighborhood behind you. All of the people with a view of the lake
are usually willing to participate if asked! This is a great way to
get to know a new neighbor!
We need a treasurer!-Urgent
LMCA will have to quit after the 4th
if we can’t find someone to step up and be the treasurer. Kathy
Ekstrand had been a wonderful treasurer but is no longer able to do the
job. We need someone who has some computer skills and who can
preferably set the bookkeeping up in Quickbooks or Excel. The greatest
amount of time will be spent the month before the 4th. Kathy is willing to train someone. Please step up!
Dragon Boats are coming! Lake closed!
Please remember that the Dragon Boat races are July 14th and you will only be able to be on the lake with no wake and only to motor out to watch the races or float.
Haven’t sent in your dues-Please do so!

4th of July Approaching Quickly!
Although the weather is not cooperating this year, we are still planning on a great 4th of July celebration on the lake including our new Meridian Belle leading the boat parade. It is time to start planning for how you will decorate your boat! We expect a heated competition this year and lots of participation!
We have a different 2011 fireworks flag for those who contribute $50 or more to the fireworks contract. Last year the average donation was $75.00. The generosity of the residents gave us one of the most beautiful shows we've ever had on Lake Meridian. As usual, the price of fireworks has increased...just like everything else. To get the quality of show we had last year, we need to spend just a little more. Please fill out your membership form and take it and your donation to one of the LMCA board members from around the lake. They can exchange it for your flag. If you did not get a flag last year and still want one we have a limited supply and for a donation of at least $100, you can get both!
