Sydenham Lake y o e A ~% AsSOCI@tiON wwnereny _ hoh â€" f you live on Sydenham Lake, one of your neighbours wi *h : lsgon be droppiÂ¥'|g by to invite you to the first annual general MARCH 10, 2011 and information meeting of the newly (re)formed Sydenham Rramen e Lake Association. The lake has had a couple of earlier assoâ€" ciations, but they were relatively shortâ€"lived, set up to meet a perceived crisis or threat to the lake, and dissolved once the crisis passed. 4 A survey circulated last summer indicated three main reaâ€" sons for organizing: 1) to ensure property owners are kept informed of decisions and activities that affect the lake, 2) to give the property owners on the lake a more collective and persuasive ability to represent the needs and wishes of the lake, and 3) to foster a sense of community. The present group is still very much in its beginning phase, but has already taken some important steps toward creating an effective and enduring lake association: they have incorâ€" porated the association, appointed an interim board of direcâ€" tors, created a website, and become a major sponsor for the Sydenham Lake Canada Day and Fireworks. Now they are looking for ideas for the future direction and activities of the lake association, and volunteers to lend a hand. All landowners with frontage on the lake or streams runâ€" ning in or out of the lake are welcome as full voting memâ€" bers: other area residents may join as associate members. Annual membership is $20. The AGM is Saturday June 25, 10 am at the Sydenham Township Hall, and will be followed by a BBQ picnic at the Point.
