Hi Lone Lakers,

Well summer is finally here and the LLPOA Board has met in May and June working on this year’s summer program. Thank you for your membership renewals for our spring member drive that started Memorial Day Weekend. A special thanks to our 14 volunteers that called or are calling on members for their memberships. Dues are $25 and members can contribute to fund a 3 hour AIS Inspections for $45 or a donation to the AIS Fund. Missed your volunteer? Click here for online membership

With June now being in full swing we want to remind you of the Aitkin County Rivers and Lakes Fair to be held on June 18th at the Long Lake Conservation Center in Palisade about a half hour drive from Lone Lake. The LLPOA is a supporter of this family friendly event with great exhibits, classes and top level presentations.

AIS Inspections have been going on in June and so far the inspectors have not come upon any boats or trailers with Zebra Mussels or Eurasian Milfoil. Yea!!

Thinking ahead, here are a couple of heads-up thoughts for July. The first is the 4th of July triathlon at 8:30 at the public beach for the swim, bike and run competition. Participants can go solo or by a team. It is great fun and we thank the VanSlooten Family headed by Matt for running this fun event on Lone Lake. Then following the Triathlon the LLPOA Boat Parade and Dock Competition will take place at 11:00 am this year. Last year’s winners will lead the parade east around the lake and will selects this year's winners of the pontoon, speedboat and dock competitions.

Finally, don’t miss the LLPOA Annual Meeting on Saturday, July 16th because we have the nationally acclaimed wildlife photographer Stan Tekiela who will be presenting on “Backyard Birds: Welcomed Guests at our Gardens and Feeders.” We will also be highlighting member’s photos of birds and a Birdhouse Building Clinic for your kids. Watch for information from the LLPOA online and in your mailbox for all the details. Thanks again for your membership and support of the LLPOA.

We'll see you on the lake.
Steve
