Club Members,

Our friend, May Slocum, passed away Sunday, June 6th. May celebrated her 100th birthday with family last month. Sydney said she was in good spirits at that time and enjoyed seeing everyone.

Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers

What can you do?
Preventing the spread of nuisance species doesn’t start and end at the boat launch, it first happens with education and awareness. It happens on land and in water. Nuisance species include those invisible to the naked eye and those that are very large in size. Nuisance species are those that are capable of fundamentally changing an ecosystem indefinitely with irreversible negative consequences. With that in mind, it’s helpful to know what to look for.

AED Defibrillator

Just a quick note to let you know that the AED Defibrillator in the clubhouse has been relocated for the winter months. It cannot withstand freezing temperatures and cannot be kept outdoors.  Once the spring arrives, the AED Defibrillator will be returned to the clubhouse.
