Good afternoon,
Family Fun Day – Our Activities Coordinator, Karen Durante along with many others have a spectacular day planned for you, your family and your guests tomorrow. The fun begins at 8:00am with a pancake breakfast at Mitchell Shelter with dozens of events and attractions occurring at the lodge all day long. Pick up a schedule of events at the office, at the lodge or on our Facebook page.
Fireworks Display – The fireworks display will begin at 9:30pm and I promise that this display will be the most exciting display we’ve ever put on. The State Bank of Davis and numerous members generously donated money which allowed us to add more fireworks to the show than were originally planned. Hoping you and yours enjoy the show.
Why is our Lake turning Mint Green?
Like clockwork, each year around the end of June or early to mid-July, Lake Summerset experiences an algae bloom which gives the lake a Mint Green appearance. For newer Members, you may not be familiar with this phenomenon, but for those who have been around over the years, we experience this algae bloom every year. This bloom is commonly referred to as a Planktonic Algae Bloom and is caused by increasing lake temperatures, decaying biomass, and excessive nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. When conditions are optimal, as they are right now, these algae can grow very quickly. The good news is that blooms of this type usually clear up within several days. Planktonic Algae are microscopic algae that are suspended in the water column. Some planktonic algae can be considered a Harmful Algae Bloom (H.A.B.), such as blue green algae. However, this phenomenon we are seeing historically has been a green algae that is not harmful. If this bloom is anything like the ones we’ve seen in recent years, it will dissipate and disappear within several days.
Kids Fish Clinic – Hats off to the LSA Fish Club who sponsored and held a Fish Clinic for kids last week. Many, if not most, of the kids were able to fish for the first time and they received instruction and oversight from Members of the Fish Club. What a treat for these kids and my thanks go out to the Fish Club members who held this event.
Special Board Meeting – An eblast was sent this morning advising the Membership that the Board will be meeting on Tuesday, July 21st at 9:00am. The purpose of the special meeting is to discuss two personnel matters and as such, the Board will open the meeting and immediately adjourn to Executive Session.
Saturday should be a fun one for everyone and I’m hoping you all have a memorable and safe weekend!
Mike
