April 1, 2007 - Shavehead Lake Association Calls It Quits
Shavehead Lake Association
Important Announcement
This week a special meeting was held by the members of the board of the Shavehead Lake Association, and it was decided by all that it was time to end the services of the Association.
Chairman Wayne Bryant felt that it was time for him to "step-down" as Chairman, as he has just gotten plain old tired of performing this role, and he would much prefer to go fishing or golfing than perform the water quality testing, attending meetings on behalf of the lake, working on the content of the newsletter, etc., etc. Since no-one else wanted to take on this role, we were left without an active chairman.
Vice-Chairman Russ Fish said that he no longer wished to remain on the board either, and confessed that even though he helped with the "Phosphorous-Free" fertilizer program for the lake, he personally didn't like the performance of the fertilizer, and prefers using the "4-step" type fertilizer programs that utilize chemicals to control his crabgrass and kill his dandelions. He thought that the "phosphorous-free" fertilizers were highly "overrated", and that websites such as this one http://www.lclt.org/Phosphorus.htm were just using "scare tactics" to make people buy the fertilizer so their lake association could reap huge profits. Russ mentioned that he also was planning on taking a month-long trip to Alaska for charity on his motorcycle late this summer, and would have no time to organize the Shavehead Lake picnic this year.
Secretary Jack DeLee, continually disappointed at the turn-out for the "Road Clean-Up" events that he helps organize, stated: I'm tired of picking up everyone else's trash, and if no-one wants to help, count me out as well! Jack then refused to take any more notes for the meeting.
Treasurer Mike Bosela, being caught up in a rough real estate housing market, regretted to inform everyone that the funds in the association bank account only had enough money left in it for the pizza and beverages for the final meeting. He promised to hopefully, one day, be able to pay it all back.
Fireworks organizer Scott Knepple said that with only $40 in the till so far for the fireworks this year, he'll see what he can do, but it looked pretty grim for this years fireworks display. Scott promised at the very least to at least launch some of those very annoying "whistling bottle rockets".
Remaining board members Chris Geyer, David Kring, Lucinda Seider, Steve Murphy, and Darla Jones all agreed that without the officers, it would be impossible to continue to move forward as an association, and expressed their frustration with the poor turnout at association meetings and other events as well.
It was unanimously agreed that all events for this year would be canceled, except for the fireworks display, and the "lights-out" night, as it doesn't cost any money, and actually saves people money by turning out their lights for the night so everyone can enjoy the stars.
The members of the association would like to thank all of the residents who have been members throughout the years, regret having to say goodbye, and wishes everyone a great 2007 on Shavehead Lake.
