Hello Neighbors!

There will be no meeting of our informal lake group over the July 4th weekend. I have no topics to present and I have not received any requests from other property owners.

In accordance with our fisheries study, we need to complete Phase II of our Fish Stocking project this fall. I have reached out to the same fish farm, as they gave us the best deal. Although I have not had a response yet, I presume the cost will be similar to the stocking that occurred last fall. So, I’d like to set a goal of $3,700 and as of this e-mail, the Martha Lake Fund Balance is $2,763.35. So, that leaves a deficit of about $1,000. If we have a similar donation rate to last year’s fund raising efforts, then a donation of $50 by each land owner, should help us reach our goal.

One positive effect of last year’s stocking so far is that several property owners have reported seeing schools of Crappie on their Sonar again and that the Bluegills are starting to show some size!

You can send your donation via paper or e-check and Paypal. As fall gets closer, I’ll let you know the progress of our fund raising efforts and a tentative date for stocking.

THANKS for your support of our beautiful Martha Lake!
