Where loons and eagles come to nest.

 

                                WELCOME

 

        Welcome to the Lily Lake Improvement Association website.   

        Our hope is to provide you with timely  information on activities and matters relative to Lily Lake.

         Although the recent weather has been cold and wet, the forecast for the holiday week-end remains optimistic.

         The Goose Grab that was held on 6/15/09 was unsuccessful, so Goose Grab 2 was held  on 6/30/09.  Unfortunately, the outcome was no better.  The geese seemed to understand what the net meant and eluded all attempts to be found.  Hours of searching netted zero geese.  We owe the Blackledge’s another thank you for picking up the crates from the DNR, and for hosting coffee and donuts for the volunteers.   

         The loons have been showing off their chick for a couple of weeks now.  Loons nest    on the ground like ducks, but usually only lay 2 eggs, while ducks usually lay between 8 to  12 eggs.  We are so fortunate to  have them here on Lily Lake.  Baby loon pictures can be found under the Photo Gallery tab.

         The DNR has continued our rating of “Low” for fire danger.  Burn Permits are being granted, at this time, for burning of yard rakings and brush only.  It does not relieve the responsible person of liability for all damages resulting from the escape of a fire.  Allowance of burn permits can change on a daily basis, if you plan on burning, you should first check with the DNR or go to www.michigan.gov/dnr.

         You should have received the 2009 LLIA Annual Membership Dues invoice.  At the Memorial Week-end meeting, the membership voted unanimously to change the due date to July 31, 2009.  Dues must be paid as of 7/31/09 to be eligible to vote on any Association business

         Construction continues to be an issue for those traveling to Lily Lake.  I75, I94 & I96 have major projects under construction.  You can view specific areas by logging on to http:// www.michigan.gov/mdot. 

         Thank you for the continued positive feed back on the web site.  We welcome stories and/or pictures for inclusion.  Please e-mail them to dmlaw1@charter.net. 

         Should you have any questions please call Dave Lawrence at (989) 539—5396.

 

LET US REMEMBER  THOSE WHO ARE SERVING OUR COUNTRY IN MILITARY SERVICE AND THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS.  WE ARE FOREVER IN THE DEBT OF THESE INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES FOR THE SACRAFICES THEY HAVE MADE FOR ALL..      FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
