The Committee encourages every Cloverland lake resident to consider attending the conference and is willing to help provide financial assistance to anyone who does so. Marty reviewed the agenda for the July 10 Wrap-Up meeting. It is open to everyone. Ann and Jeff Currie will produce special publicity for this event in the form of posters; personal invitations mailed to area lake associations, organizations, and individuals; a postcard invitation sent to all property owners in the Town of Cloverland; press releases and public service announcements; and materials at lake conferences coming up in June. Marty asked if others shared his satisfaction with the draft lake management plans produced by Onterra for the April 19 and 24 Planning Committee meetings. Chuck and Jeff both commented on how comprehensive and useful the drafts were. Marty recalled that Onterra head Tim Hoyman had said that the CLASS project was probably the first of its kind in the state.

Attendees will be able to sign up to volunteer for monitoring duties on dates and lakes of their choice. Chuck will be setting up some refresher sessions at landings for those who have been trained in past years. It was agreed that we needed to find better ways to use and help volunteers. Regarding the Committee’s spring newsletter, Marty said he thought it was fantastic. Jim Lynn pointed out that body copy was not as easy to read as it could be.
