From the President Celebrating 70 Years of the LLPDA

---

The ice is finally off Loon Lake. The docks, buoys and boats are going in. . . and soon our summer activity begins. This year we celebrate the Loon Lake Park District's 70th Anniversary. This newsletter provides an overview of the Loon Lake Park District Association (LLPDA) 2011 events. We hope that your family and guests will join us for a fun filled summer. Details of each activity along with the names of committee chairpersons, phone numbers, etc. can be found on the Loon Lake website www.loonlakeassociation.com.

To celebrate our 70th Anniversary, this newsletter is being sent to all residents within the Park District with the hope of expanding our membership and spreading awareness of what we do. Please provide us with your e-mail address as future mailings and communication will primarily be by e-mail and through our website.

Important to all of us is the state of our lake. The Town of Chester has again contracted with Lycott Environmental, Inc. to more aggressively address the milfoil issue. They will return for the second year by the end of May with follow up visits during the summer. LLPDA volunteers will be assisting and complementing this endeavor. Detailed progress reports will be discussed at our Annual Meeting and will also be available on the website. Other volunteers are assisting with water testing, water safety, and providing social and recreational opportunities for families in the district. Through monies raised from our Annual Golf Tournament, the LLPDA has been able to provide donations to the Town of Chester community, including donations for scholarships, local food pantry, youth activities, library, fire and emergency squads just to name a few.

We encourage you to join the LLPDA and have attached a 2011 membership application. As an organization dedicated to protecting our lake and representing the interests of all residents of the Loon Lake Park District, we look forward to welcoming you as a member. Please feel free to contact any Board Member, Officer or myself if you have any questions.

On behalf of the Officers and Directors of the LLPDA, I hope you have an enjoyable and safe summer.

Ed Griesmer, President
