Summer has come to a close and Fall has arrived. We on the LCIA Board hope that you all had a safe and happy summer here at the lake. There is still so much to do and enjoy as the cooler weather comes and the foliage begins to change. We hope you continue to enjoy boating, fishing and just relaxing by the water. The lake does become a bit more peaceful during this off season and is very condusive to relaxation and enjoying the simple pleasures of the season.

Now that the summer meetings have ended, know that the LCIA Board will continue to meet and work hard to improve life here at the lake. Volunteers continue to meet year round discussing any concerns or issues that need addressing. Within the next month a work party will be installing the syphon to lower the lake level. Hopefully the rain will not be too abundant so it will stay down long enough for people to do any necessary repairs of docks or around the shoreline, and to remove debris, weeds and cattails that are becoming overwhelmingly abundant in some areas. Remember that with water levels down the many large boulders scattered around the lake will be closer to the surface, and possibly interfer with boating activities. Be extra cautious out there!

We are still looking for volunteers to chair the following committees: Roads, Beaches, Dam. Anyone who might be interested in finding out more about these roles should contact Marty Connors, President of the LCIA Board. This is a one year commitment and the board members area always willing to help out any chairperson as needed. Please consider becoming involved.

There has been some work done on the roads in the past couple of months to repair much of the damage that has occurred with all the rain this past year. Potholes have been filled and some regrading of the dirt roads has helped to make them more easily passable. The board is currently working on developing a plan to make more permanent repairs and changes to the roads to try to alleviate the constant need to fix problems after heavy storms or winter plowing. There is much research and decision making that goes into such an involved and expansive project as this. More details will come once a plan is in place.

There is one more community activitiy planned for this year. All are invited to attend a Halloween Party on Saturday, October 21st. This event will include food and fun for the whole family. We are hoping that kids and adults alike will come in costume. More details and a flyer will be forthcoming but mark your calendars now so you don't miss out.

The next regular meeting of the LCIA Board will be held on Wednesday, October 11th at 6:30PM in Chaffee Hall. Please feel free to come and bring any issues or concerns to the attention of the board members during the Public Comments section of the meeting. Once the agenda for the meeting is finalized it will be available at this link.
