Little Sebago Lake Annual Meeting Summary Pam Wilkinson MARK YOUR CALENDARS – NEXT LSLA ANNUAL MEETING IS JULY 11, 2020

Our annual meeting was held July 13 th at theAmerican Legion in Gray. The early morning was filled with fellowship during social hour, opportunity to view educational materials and visit the merchandise table to view the new items for yourself or gifts for friends. Two presentations provided updates on our lake’s warden and safety patrol services. Little Sebago is one of the busiest lakes in Maine and Lt. Adam Gormley spoke on how we should think through situations, know the laws for safety, and have common sense on the lake concerning what is right and legal. The safety patrol program has been working on access points on the lake should there be an emergency. The third presentation focused on what is on the radar concerning milfoil, other invasive threats and the noticeable algae blooms that have been occurring late summer. It was encouraged for all to report these incidences so it can be logged for future reference. Our by-laws mandate a meeting in July to update the membership on events affecting the lake and nominate board members for expiring terms. The nomination committee provided a slate of recommendations for terms that expired. Each year

five members are elected for a three year term. The slate was unanimously approved. The membership also voted to change the by-laws to allow flexibility on the time the annual meeting can begin. Other topics presented were Hopkins Dam condition, scholarships, endowment program, plant give away, membership, watershed programs, update on the lower narrows condition and milfoil program, merchandise, pirate parade, loon updates, water quality, and an opportunity for the attendees to ask questions.
