Brea Grabow from PLM was present to talk to the Lake Association about weed control on our Lake and what she has to offer us.  Brea has a double Masters in Aquatic Plant Management and is a graduate of Michigan State.  She would be on the Lake pre treatment and post treatment and welcomed our Lake committee to be on the Lake while she was doing the assessment each time.  PLM services several Lakes in our area and does the Lake treatment themselves and does not subcontract the work out.  They treat the problem that is at hand and may not be treating the same problem each time they are on the Lake.  PLM will do either a 1 year contract or a multiple year contract with options to terminate if need be.

Roger Houthoofd from Long Lake is on Township board of Trustees and wanted to inform people of completion of area Roads.  if you see potholes that could damage a vehicle please give him a call at (989)  257-3136.  Our dirt roads will have another dust control treatment done in either July or August.

About 40/50 people attended our first Annual Spring Fling gathering/welcoming back party.  We had 50/50 raffle , cornhole tournament and a few games for the kids to play.  The association provided Hot Dogs/Buns and people brought a dish to pass.  We had a great time and hope to see even more people attend next Spring.

Mike Soloman from Restorative Lake Services was at the meeting to discuss weed control on our Lake and what he has to offer the Association.  Mike takes on the position as a Lake Manager.  He assesses the lake and then subcontracts the work out to another business that works with the Chemicals that are needed to get rid of the weeds.  Mike has several degrees for working with Inland Lakes and comes highly recommended by other Lake property owners.  He believes he can also save us money.  They Manage 60-70 Lakes.  They do a very thorough survey and gives a printed report each time.  They only do work that is needed.  Mike requested a 5 year contract but after 1 year we could break the contract if we were not happy.
