President’s Message Spring/Summer 2020

Escape. Isn’t that what we do in the summer? We take our cup of coffee to the beach towatch and listen to the lake waking up, we push our boat of choice from the dock or from the shoreline to begin our nautical explorations, and at night, we gaze at the stars and watch the burning embers of our campfires, relishing the memories just created. As the babbling feeder streams provide clean water to the lake, the Little Sebago Lake Association has worked tirelessly this winter and spring preparing to provide this summer’s guarantee to our membership that your lake is ready for you to create this summer’s memories. For a moment, close your eyes and envision one cherished lake memory from the past. Given the challenges of these times we hang on to being able to escape once again to the lake for reprieve. All is well with the management of the lake, so you can do just that. The Board of Directors is mindful of the impacts Covid-19 has had on all of us and hopefully, the worst is behind us and we can allow the ripples of the warm waters to heal our souls. Maine is commemorating its 200 th year of statehood. Little Sebago Lake Association is looking forward to celebrating our 100 th year anniversary (founded September 6, 1924).

While the State’s plans were put on hold due to the need for social distancing, we are looking forward to offering fun activities to commemorate the 100 years. I welcome you to join us at our annual meeting on July 11 th at the American Legion in Gray. I would like to be positive that we will be able to congregate, laugh, tell stories, and learn new things that are affecting our waters. As you read this newsletter, youwill learnabout the efforts of many who continue to volunteer their time making sure the Little Sebago Lake Association’s mission is maintained. Heartfelt thanks to all who tirelessly do this simply because they love and care about our beloved lake. May your summer be filled with sunny days, warm waters and starry nights.

On Behalf of your LSLA BOD,

Pam Wilkinson

Little Sebago Lake President
