Northwood Lake Watershed Annual Meeting
Saturday, July18 is the Northwood Lake Watershed Association Annual
Meeting. It will be held at the Northwood Town Beach on Lakeshore
Drive at 9:30 a.m. Sara Steiner, Volunteer Lake Assessment Program
Coordinator will be the featured speaker. She will speak on “Results
and Recommendations of the Volunteer Lake Assessment Program”.
Elections will be held at the meeting and directors from around the
lake are needed. Directors represent their neighbors’ views at the
NLWA board meetings. The meetings are held March through October.
The more representation the board has around the lake, the more and
better information the board has in making decisions about milfoil,
water quality, education and finances. Directors are needed from all
areas of the lake, especially the SLEEPY HOLLOW, LAKE SITES,
LAKESHORE DRIVE and TASKER LANE neighborhoods. Please consider
becoming a Director.
About the Association: In 1992 the Northwood Lake Watershed
Association was formed to preserve and protect the quality of
Northwood Lake and its surroundings for the collective interest for
lake users.
Since then our activities have included the monitoring and treatment
of the ever present milfoil in our lake, water quality testing
through the Volunteer Lake Assessment Program, invasive exotic
screening through the Lake Host Program, as well as providing
educational resources to our members and the lake community at
large. Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in Northwood
Lake. You don’t have to live on the lake to join. Annual dues are
$20 per member (a member can be an individual, family, business or
organization). Your dues go to things like milfoil treatment, annual
lake vegetation survey and water quality testing programs.
Come join us at the Northwood Town Beach, July 18, for the Annual
Meeting.

Chesley
Memorial Library Goes Green
Summer is in full swing at the
Chesley Memorial Library (despite the icky weather!) and our Summer
Reading Programs (we have 3!) are rolling along. This year we
have split the programs into three age groups: children, teens &
tweens, and adults. Children going into Kindergarten up
through 5th grade are invited to participate in the Summer Reading
Program, which features the theme Going Green At Your Library!
The Summer Reading Club, for teens and tweens in grades 6 and up,
features the theme Get Your Green On! Adults are encouraged to
participate in our newest program- Read, Return, Repeat.
All of our themes this year focus on all things “Green” and the
environment. We are using less paper in our materials,
learning about the environment, and all of our activities are
featuring reused or recycled materials! Registration began for
all three programs on Wednesday, July 1, and already we have a
number of participants! If you haven’t registered though, you
still have time! Just stop by the library and ask about Summer
Reading!
For complete details regarding these programs please
visit our web site at
www.chesleylib.com or call the library at 942-5472.
