Unfortunately our recent weather has been very conducive for the growth of cyanobacteria. There have been several blooms (green floating scummy mats) around the lake today. In an abundance of caution, we will be posting the red NHDES Advisory signs. Samples have been taken and will be analyzed to see if the cyanobacteria has any toxicity. In the meantime, we would recommend that children and pets be kept out of the water and if anyone comes in contact with the bloom, they should rinse off in fresh water.
We will inform you of the NHDES results as soon as they are available.
Several photos are attached.

For those who may not be aware there is a proposal going before the Wakefield Planning Board for a commercial venture (Kayak Rental Business) on lakefront property on Bonnyman Road. Below is the PLA Board of Directors response to this proposal.

The adult loons have been spending the past several days on and around the nest we have in the lake.  As such, we are asking boaters, fishermen, etc. to stay clear.  PLEASE give them plenty of room.  We have put out signs warning of the area and they look like the picture below:

Per the existing Bylaws of the Association, any changes must be voted on at the annual meeting.  The updates must also be made available for review at least 14 days prior to the annual meeting.  As you are aware, the annual meeting will be July 21, 2018. The updated bylaws are below.  They are in marked form, so it is easy to see what is proposed to be changed.  Please review them and come to the annual meeting should you have any questions or comments.
