Those of you who were at the Annual Meeting on Saturday know that the Ice-Out tickets are now available. We have left some at both Hasting's and Joe's Pond Country Store. I've sent out about 75 to people who asked for 2008 tickets as last year's contest was winding down. Some were disappointed when the AP article came out the day before the contest closed and they weren't able to get tickets in time, others played the game and just wanted to be sure they had tickets for 2008.
Let Dave Parker, Diane Rossi, Don Walker, or me know if you want tickets early. We expect to have an ample supply of tickets right up to April 1, 2008, though, and you'll be hearing more about Ice Out later on.

The Annual Meeting of Joe's Pond Association was held on Saturday, June 30. We had good attendance and our meetings are always interesting, with new people to meet and important issues to discuss and solve.
The GMP settlement allocation was explained: The initial $50,000 is to be spread over a five-year period to be used to improve the beach, shorelines, habitat on the lake. Kelli Merrill from the State Agency of Natural Resources is overseeing that ecological program, with about $20,000 to go for that purpose, The remainder of funds are to be used to support Milfoil detection and related projects, and is overseen by JPA.
JPA officers were re-elected. The slate remains the same with President Tom Dente, Vice President Don Sherwood, Treasurer George Anderson, Secretary Jane Brown, Water safety and Quality Director Ray Richer, Maintenance Director Larry Rossi, fundraising Director Dave Parker, and Membership Director Ray Rouleau all serving again.
The JPA newsletter will be published once a year, in the spring. It was agreed the fall newsletter is no longer necessary and most information can be posted to the blog. Should there be a pressing need for a fall edition, that can be arranged. This way we can maintain the high quality of the present newsletter.
The program to correct run-off problems around the lake has been delayed until fall. One of two loon eggs hatched, and the loons have been harassed by boaters, an offense punishable by law. If you see this happening, report it to the state police.
Issues about buoys and underwater obstacles were discussed, and speeding traffic on West Shore Road continues to be an issue.
At the end of the meeting, Fred and I were presented with a lovely gift basket in recognition of the web site and blog. We thank everyone who had a hand in this - it came as a complete surprise and is very much appreciated. Your notes of thanks and comments all year are truly rewarding for us, and while we protest "we need nothing more," I confess we've had a great time sampling and sharing the various sweet and savory delicacies contained therein. We are happy to be doing something in our retirement years that is both rewarding to us and meaningful to others. So think of us, Fred downstairs in his cool basement office updating the website daily, me upstairs in my cluttered little office tapping out e-mails and blog messages or filling ice-out-ticket orders, happy that we've found a niche perfect for us. Thank you, every one.
