President’s Message - Fall 2023

IT’S FALL! I sit gazing out across the lake listening to the water lap the shoreline as I once did as a child. The day was transitional starting with the morning mirror reflections from trees muted red, yellow and orange colors with tufts of cumulus clouds bouncing off the peaceful water. As the gentle cooler south winds begin the sun creates diamond-like sparkles dancing on the waves. The reflections go beyond what is seen, my mind wanders to include all that has transpired this summer. Some say, “It was the summer that wasn’t”. Most of the days were cold, damp, rainy but regardless of the weather, fun was to be had. It didn’t falter the laughs from kiddos tubing, laughs from campfire gatherings and the simple joys of summer. I reflect back at all the preparation during last winter that board members, committee members and volunteers did to provide programs to preserve the Hopkin’s Dam, the lake’s water quality, ensure safety, educate, and create fun for all to enjoy. I thank the 15 board members for their timeless dedication and professionalism managing the intricacies of LSLA’s non-profit organization. We embraced numerous committee members and

volunteers to help with special projects and would like to invite you to do the same. It is so appreciated and we are blessed to have all of you. The web of friendships created will last forever. As we transition into winter, we will focus on our Centennial Celebration in 2024. The Little Sebago Lake Association’s first meeting was September 6, 1924. There will be a calendar of fun events, historical sharing and planned fun activities for all. Stay tuned for future Centennial Committee announcements. As you turn the pages, please recognize all our efforts to protect your “piece of peace” on the lake. On behalf of LSLA Board of Directors, Committees and Volunteers,

Pam Wilkinson LSLA President
