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!

Launching the New Meridian Belle
Here are some of the pictures taken during the launch of the new Meridian Belle.
The loading was a challenge as it took two forklifts to pick her up and position the trailer beneath.
Backing down the boat launch ramp.
Just about to enter the water.
She was hesitant to float free.
