Inspections
April inspections were performed without incident. However, there was a recent report of three cottages being broken into on 13th Street. Please be sure to take precautions with your property.
For inspection purposes, your two Year 2002 Membership Stickers should be placed on your property where they will be clearly visible. One should face the Lake and the other the street side of your camp. Any inspection questions should be directed to
Larry Valliere.

Summer
Activities
Plant a Shrub Day
Sunday, June 30th |
 |
We’ve been making some progress in the planting of buffer zones, so let’s keep it going! Shrubs and other ground plants act as a filtering mechanism for runoff to the Lake. If we all pitch in, we can help to minimize phosphorus loading from land runoff. Don’t forget to tie a yellow ribbon around your plants to show your support for conservation.

Light Up the Lake
Wednesday, July 3rd |
|
Place a flare or flashlight on your shoreline at dusk and light up Mousam!.
Please be sure not to leave any open flames unattended. An adult should always be present with children.
NOTE: Due to Independence Day falling on a Thursday this year, our usual July 4th events will take place on the weekend following the holiday.
Boat Parade
Saturday, July 6th, 1 p.m.
Rain Date: Sunday, July 7th |
 |
Boats will line up at 1:00 p.m. at the foot of the Lake by Rogers Bridge. Boats are requested to stay in line behind the lead Lake Watch boat. We will proceed to Carpenter’s Cove where the judges will announce the winners and award prizes. Winners will be chosen from big and small boat categories. First place boats receive $100, second place $70, and third place $50! Big boat category includes all pontoon boats. Small boat category includes all other boats (single hull).
The theme this year is to show our American spirit, so decorate your boats in true patriotic style! Please do not overload your boats, drive slowly, and be sure to have enough life jackets on board for everyone. All children should be wearing proper flotation devices.

Directions to the actual fishing site will be given out at registration. The derby will begin at the foot of the Lake and end at the Corrs’ dock in Carpenter’s Cove.
