Events Report:
Jane reported that currently three homeowners have registered their boat for the parade to take place on Saturday, July 3. Staging area will begin at the Red Pole Barn at 11:00 a.m. Pre-registration of all boats participating in the parade is highly recommended, as it will help stop some of the congestion at the staging area. Parade will kick off from the Pole Barn at 11:30 a.m. with a hot dog roast immediately following at the Pole Barn at 12:30 p.m. Brian, from Brian's Small Engines, and a lake owner, will once again sponsor the parade.

New Business:
Larry, along with Stan Watkins and Craig Cotterman, attended a five-hour workshop on Saturday, June 12, 2010 sponsored by the Muskegon Water Shed on bugs and their effect on our lakes and creeks. With heir newfound knowledge they determined that Denton Creek has no pollutants in the water. This fall they will be checking the waters above Shadow Lake.
