Volunteers needed!
The Merrymeeting Lake Association (MMLA) is looking for volunteers to help with two worthy efforts sponsored by the association.
Lake Host Program
Each summer, the MMLA, in cooperation with the NH Lakes Association, manages the Merrymeeting Lake Host program. Through this program, our MMLA hosts monitor our boat ramp to inspect incoming boats to prevent the introduction and spread of exotic aquatic plants, like variable milfoil, from lake to lake.
Adult volunteers are needed to inspect boats for milfoil and other invasive weeds. The minimum commitment is one 4-5 hour shift per week, with flexible hours. It is easy, fun, "work", sitting on our beautiful shoreline, often reading or doing what you might do on your own dock, until a boat comes along. Then you can meet and get to know your neighbors boating on Merrymeeting Lake. More information here.
Lions Camp Pride Spring Maintenance
In order to support a deserving organization and great lake neighbor, the MMLA as taken on sponsorship of one of the buildings at Lions Camp Pride on the east end of the lake. Camp Pride provides the opportunity for hundreds of special needs children to enjoy Merrymeeting Lake each summer.
We are looking for volunteers for a crew that will clean, paint, and prepare the "1 on 1" medical building for the summer of 08.
We will be doing the work on Saturday, May 24th. Ideally we will get enough volunteers to allow us to complete all work in 4-5 hours so you can plan the rest of your weekend accordingly and requiring minimal time commitment from all volunteers. "Many hands make light work!"
More info will be posted here.
Thanks to all who help us make Merrymeeting Lake the great place that it is.
