Kennisis Lake Cottage Owners' Association - Spring 2003 Newsletter Page 4

Membership Information

Enclosed with this newsletter is your membership renewal for the year 2003. Please complete it carefully and mail it to the KLCOA address (R.R. 1 Box 315, Haliburton, On. K0M 1S0). You may also either place it in the drop box at the Marina Store or bring it with you to the general meeting in May. It is important to submit your membership fee quickly as the vast majority of our expenses occur early in the year. Your 2003 sticker is included. We operate on the policy of honesty and trust that you will continue to support the KLCOA.

Remember that our Constitution stipulates that your membership must be paid by July 1 of each year and that you cannot participate in KLCOA events unless your membership is paid. Additionally, if you fail to pay your membership, you will not receive the next newsletter.

Need a new sign?….
Call Dave Mills (754-2999, 195 South Kennisis Drive) or Wendy Vermeersch (754 - 3231, 98 Watts Trail) or pick one up at the general meeting. Wendy will arrive early at that meeting to process registrations.

Your Executive will continue to encourage membership by providing real estate agents with "Welcome" packages and by physically canvassing the West Shore development.

Elections for executive positions will be held at our Annual Meeting on Saturday August 30. Coincidentally, this is the least attended meeting…Hmmmmmmm! We welcome new members with fresh ideas to the executive and urge you to consider standing for office. If you are, contact Wendy Vermeersch.

Now that spring is finally here, we'll be able to finish our contribution to bringing 911 to our area. Under the leadership of Gail Goldenberg, we'll do what we can to validate and update the road profiles given to us. It was recently announced that the tender to produce the signs for 911 has been granted so we can assume (?) that the end is in sight. Thanks, Gail, for undertaking what has turned out to be a huge job. Thanks, too, to those who are helping out. To this date we have not received word of official road names for Dysart et al.

Fireworks

Once again our annual fireworks display to celebrate Canada Day will light up the Kennisis Skyline. Steve Ashfield is busily preparing a fantastic show…many thanks Steve (and, of course, his faithful helpers). Steve is a certified pyrotechnician and does a great job. As is our usual format, the display will take place on the Saturday of the weekend of or before Canada Day.

This year's date is Saturday June 28. The display will begin at dusk at the Kennisis Lake Marina. Should we be rained out, the display will take place either on Sunday June 29 or, if rained out then, on Saturday August 2.
