We want to take this opportunity to share with our members that some of our dedicated volunteers spend many hours today clearing the parking lot and they managed to install the small floating dock. Due to the water still being high the big launch is not opened yet. So for the long weekend the members will have to use the small boat launch. Please use caution!!

Have a great long weekend.
