Display your decal with Pride!
All of you should have recently received your LSLA Membership Decal along with your
annual dues letter. The decal should be located on the exterior of your boat, anywhere
above the water line. This will identify you as paid active member of the Little Sebago
Lake Association. This decal will also help you to identify other members as well. We
are looking forward to seeing you out there on the lake with your decal this summer!
Some thoughts about Fireworks
I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid,
the 4th of July meant only one thing- fireworks!
That’s the only time of year we saw them and
the experience was pretty special. These days,
fireworks are used on many more occasions,
year round. The 4
th
of July fireworks seem to
get more spectacular every year as well.
I know how everyone is looking forward to
warm summer nights and watching fireworks
(especially on the 4
th
of July) around the lake.
As you know, the sale of consumer fireworks is
legal in Maine. While we all enjoy the fireworks,
please keep in mind the following:
If you love the lake, please remember that
fireworks do pollute the water. We don’t really
need the toxic fallout from fireworks in our lake.
If you love the lake, then love the loons. Help
our loons by keeping your fireworks show to a
minimum. It’s no secret, loons hate fireworks.
Be considerate of others. Just because
you’re on vacation all week it doesn’t mean
your neighbors are. I know many of us would
appreciate fireworks use on weekends only.
Also, fireworks are permitted for use until 10
pm (except for July 4
th
and December 31
st
☺).
After 10 pm, you are breaking the law!
Keep it safe and have a great summer
!
