Board of Directors Newsletter Lake News Ernie wintered in Rochester, NH and summered on the lake prior to retiring to Naples, FL in 1998. He was a member of the American Legion and a veteran of the U.S. Navy who served during the Korean War. Ernie is survived by his wife of 48 years, V. Doris, and two children, Kathleen (and Rich) Raffio of Wantagh, NY, and Jo Ann (and Tom) Brennan of Schaumburg, IL. He is also survived by five grandchildren: Desiree, Tony, Anna, Doretta and Brigette. Ernie will not only be remembered as a good friend and neighbor, but with sincere appreciation for his past service and support of the MLRA. Our thoughts and sympathy are with his wife and family at this sad time. |
PLANT A SHRUB DAY Sunday, June 27th As you know, Mousam Lake has a very heavily developed shoreline. It also has very porous, sandy soil. Because of this, we must all be aware of the importance of buffering the shoreline to help keep pollutants out of the lake. On Sunday, June 27th, help out by planting a shrub along your waterfront to conserve our lake environment. Thanks for your support! LIGHT UP THE LAKE Saturday, July 3rd As a prelude to the festivities of the 4th, place a flare or flashlight on your shoreline at dusk and light up Mousam Lake!

Adults should always be present with children. 2004 BOAT PARADE SUNDAY, July 4th Rain Date: Monday, July 5th Use your imagination or decorate your boats in true patriotic style and meet at 1:00 p.m. down by the bridge to Lower Mousam.
