Old Business: 

  • Lyn Hewitt suggested getting the word out about the organization; ask for suggestions from the lake residents, etc. to increase their involvement.
  • Putting LCRA news in tax bills was suggested; it was decided that the township might not endorse this action.
  • Lyn and Leon Hewitt suggested providing business cards to LCRA board members and sending more frequent newsletters.  They will put together cards and flyers to distribute around the lake with the spring newsletter.  They will go door to door to introduce the lake association and collect current contact information.
  • Mary Hough offered to add LCRA to the Sunrise Park newsletter. 
  • Ginny Himich said that the website is getting quite a few hits. 
  • Lyn Hewitt feels that we are reaching only a limited group with our current website and e-mail list.
  • Ray Phillips suggested a cable TV notice and some identification to put on LCRA member boats.  This (decals) was done in the past-a free boat decal was provided with each paid membership.
  • Water Testing:  Discussion about the budget for lake management and how it is calculated.  Lake Manager calculates it and submits it to the Township.  As yet there is no permit for the Sonar treatment this year.  The permit needs to be obtained before the April treatment date to stay on schedule with treatments.
  • Sue Sytniak has some membership cards to be passed out.  LCORI members asked for a membership certificate to be provided to members in good standing. It was agreed that LCORI should be provided a certificate verifying that they are a member in good standing – so that they can post it at their clubhouse.  The balance of the membership cards will be passed out during the door to door newsletter distribution early May.
  • Lyn will send out the plaques to the members and organizations who have donated in the past, along with thank you certificates.
  • Unless there is outside help, no boat parade will be held this year.
  • The Hewitts are attending the MLSA annual conference this year (the April 2008 conference in Grayling MI).
  • Future Meetings will be held at LCORI.
