Safety Patrol Program of 2017

From all of us on The 2017 Safety Patrol Team – Thank you for a great summer.

The newly designed and very visible patrol boat had a very active, helpful and successful season. Roger LeBlanc, John Bernier, Earl Spalding and Kate Martin were out every Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer and every day during the 4 th of July week. Besides patrolling the perimeter of the lake each day, and stopping to educate, distribute materials, and encourage membership in the Association, they were also able to help out and or tow you back to shore if necessary. The Warden Service was here 12 times – logging in 96 hours on the water. They approached 279 vessels over the summer, issuing only 18 warnings and 21 citations. Amore detailed article on the 2017 season and plans for next summer will be in the Spring Newsletter. Sharon Lamontagne Aimhi was perfect-it had plenty of room, you could go by boat, and it was nostalgic. Unfortunately, there was not another spot on the lake after it was sold that would offer the same benefits plus provide cover in case of inclement weather. For the past few years we have met at Crystal Lake where there was an ambiance of water to look at. It became apparent there was something missing-handicap accessibility and air conditioning. A committee was created to review a couple of spots and it was agreed to choose the American Legion Hall in Gray. Further information will be provided on our website in the spring. We think you will be very comfortable and we will provide the same wealth of information and perhaps videos of the lake!
