DOCK REPORT......Kathy will call on people that have not renewed. The renewals will close on May 15.

There are board members that have not paid their membership fee. The fee is not for the dock, it is for the membership in the Center. There is a problem with the way that the realtors advertise for home sales leading the prospective buyer with the impression they have lake access or ownership of shoreline.

If the current home owner is current with membership, then the new owner will get the current assigned space. Mike suggested to place the dock info on the website. CLB.com.

is July 17th.

not large enough and also safety is also an issue. Diana suggested that maybe picnic tables with some type of shelter for family use.

RECYCLE DAY.........did quite well and had to order another dumpster. There was a lot of confusion

with the opening of Hook's that same weekend. Have not gotten bill yet for the dumpster and Kathy would like to thank all the people that helped this day.

where the Center spends the money. We are to spend 90% of the money in the City of East Bethel. Marge stated she sends the City a report each month. Kathy would like to donate to the Fire Dept.
