May—June 2011 

Spring is here at last and now comes the time that we have all looked forward 

to throughout the winter. With that in mind, let me enlighten you on a few 

things that are going to transpire in the immediate future. 

We are entering into a contract with the Brown County Sheriff's Department to 

patrol our roads and provide us security while on duty at LLPOA. They will 

have the authority to issue tickets which will require the person who gets the 

ticket to go to Georgetown and pay their fines. Not only a fine, but points 

associated with the offense will also be added to their license. They will not be 

here with the idea of writing tickets, but those offenders who are blatant in 

their offense will likely be ticketed. Their primary purpose is to slow down the 

traffic which is becoming unbearable. The deputies can respond to any crimes 

while on duty at LLPOA and have the power to arrest as necessary. Along with 

their other functions while on duty, if you are away on vacation, they will check 

your residence to assure that no damage has been done to your property such 

as a break-in and theft. 

We will be actively pursuing a replacement for our General Manager’s position 

so that we may retain operational continuity of Mr. Jackson, who has 

resigned. In the meantime, the office will continue to pursue collections and 

serve the needs of our members. 

The Board of Trustees has a monumental task of planning for the future needs 

paramount to our entire community. There are some tough decisions to be 

made both by the Board and our membership if we are to maintain our 

facilities. We are more than open to any and all suggestions and or ideas, 

please come forward if you have some. 

We have a dedicated Board who is not afraid of the work involved for LLPOA to 

continue as a place where people want to live, relax, enjoy and be proud of our 

community.

JAMES JOHNSON 

I am seeking a third term as a LLPOA Trustee. I would like your 

support as we continue to make small steps in the sand in making 

Lake Lorelei a great and wonderful place to live. 

DAN VANDIVER 

My name is Dan Vandiver. I am a full time resident of Lake Lorelei. I 

am interested in using my skills to support our community and 

uphold the rules and regulations of the Lake Lorelei Property 

Owners Association. My skill set includes good verbal and written 

communication skills, problem solving skills, presentation skills and 

team building. My occupation is in Quality Management. I have 

worked for a Fortune 100 Company where these skills were used to 

work with a team of seven (7) others to identify problem areas and 

implemented actions to “Turn Around” the division and make it 

profitable. 

GOALS for LAKE LORELEI: 

• Provide consistent application of the rules and regulations and 

restore confidence and trust in the LLPOA Board of Directors. 

• Work to reduce costs where possible and to make Lake Lorelei a 

safe, comfortable and affordable place for all of us to reside. 

JANE WYMAN 

I have served on the Board for a year and feel the direction of this 

board is going to benefit all of the community. I believe in listening 

to the members and taking all sides into consideration. Lake Lorelei 

is a diverse community which provides a great opportunity to see 

different ways to solve issues.

The calendar date tells me it is spring, so why am I seeing snow flurries out my 

window? Hopefully, as the lion roars thru the last days of March, our April 

showers will bring in the May flowers. I believe we are all ready for sunshine and 

warm weather. 

Our Luncheon and Style Show was held on March 26, 2011 and we are happy to 

announce that it was very successful. Many, many thanks to Barb Siegel and 

Dianne Behm who put this all together for us. The Clubhouse was beautifully 

decorated in spring colors. The delicious luncheon was prepared by Mrs. Martha 

Boggs, FCCLA; and a superb job of serving was done by the Fayetteville High 

School students. 

Again, thanks to Brenda from Peebles Clothing Store, in Hillsboro, who worked 

with Barb and Dianne coordinating our 2nd style show. All the outfits were a 

beautiful spring-like sight to see and our Lake Lorelei models did a mighty fine job 

strutting around in outfits that complimented each one of them. This was a very 

delightful, fun filled-day with lots and lots of door prizes awarded adding an extra 

treat for the winners. We suggest you to take a trip to Peebles to shop, especially 

on any Tuesday and seniors get a 20% discount. Let them know you are from 

Lorelei, you won’t be sorry. 

Hope you have your calendars marked for our biggest upcoming event of the 

year: Our Annual Plant, White Elephant and Bake Sales in the Clubhouse April 

30th and May 1st. Hope to see you there. The community-wide Spring Yard Sales 

are also being held that weekend. Lorelei residents may go "yard sale shopping" 

on Friday evening, April 29. As always, check our sign by Security for complete 

details. This is an open-to-the-public event both days. 

The next Women’s Club meeting will be May 5th. Our President, Gerry Harness 

announced we will be making plans to entertain as our guest the Squaws from 

Lake Waynoka to our June meeting. A luncheon will be provided for all. Again 

make sure you mark your calendar to come to our meeting in May and please plan 

to be there in June to welcome our guests. This would be a nice time to invite 

your neighbor or a friend – we always welcome new people.





By Angela Organ 

The time to get involved with our Lake community is now! I know several families in 

the Lake and I hear a lot of complaining … but I do not see anyone trying to change 

things. There are a lot of families with children under 18 here at the Lake and we 

must make our voices heard. How can you complain about anything when you do not 

work for change? 

I have started a Parents Club. We have 3 families ... only 3 … I know there are many 

more families out here at the Lake. We have plans for fundraisers, children’s events, 

and family events, so please come to our meetings and get involved. You may call or 

text Angela at 513-505-6600 for more info. 

Also, do you know the things happening around the Lake meant to involve children? 

The Women’s Club just held tryouts for their upcoming variety show. The only two 

children currently in it are my children. Now I know there are many talented kids out 

there in the Lake, including talent in drawing and photography, so bring them out, 

encourage them to be in the variety show, what a great learning experience! Again 

contact Angela and I will get you to the right person. 

Also, I know everyone has heard of the PRIDE group here at the Lake; one of their 

goals this year is to get children involved in their projects. Well that is never going to 

happen unless we parents get involved! Let's teach our kids the value of hard work 

and civic responsibility! What a great lesson, don't you agree? 

Many parents bring their kids out on Halloween, July 4th, and The Kids Fishing 

Tourney, but only a handful of people pull these events off, not only do they deserve 

our thanks … they need our help!! 

So lets get out there Parents! Come to Board Meetings! Come to Parents Club! Get 

Active! 

Lets get the beaches renovated, the playgrounds in top shape, the common areas user 

friendly, and maybe even make the softball field usable again. What a fun thing for 

both kids and adults to enjoy! 

If we work together as a community, Lake Lorelei will be the most wonderful place to 

live and play! 

Meetings - May 11th and June 8th—7-8 pm at The Organs @ 1335 Oder (HH) 

refreshments and childcare provided 

We have several great ideas in the works and we need your input!

Spring is here and we are anxious to do some fishing. The first Members’ Tournaments of 

the season was April 5th and we had a great turnout!! 

April 

5 

1. Mike & Clayton Reynolds 2 @ 6lb 13oz 

2. Harry Sheldon & Ross 2 @ 6lb 3oz 

3. Kelly Boone & Kenny Hornsby 2 @ 6lb .5oz 

Big Fish: Mike & Clayton Reynolds 5lb 10oz 

There will be three Open Tournaments held in 2011. Though most of the entrants are 

LLPOA members, there are a few that come from outside our gates. This is the only time 

that non-LLPOA member watercraft are permitted on our Lake. Rest assured, we do 

verify that these competitors have valid insurance on their boats. It is a great 

opportunity to show off our Lake and to raise funds for the Fish Committee. Entry forms 

are available at Fisherman’s Wharf and at the Guardhouse. 

• The Spring Tournament is April 30 from 7:30am to 3:30pm 

• The Night Tournament is July 16 from midnight to 8am 

• The Fall Tournament is October 8 from 7:30am to 3:30pm 

We are again planning to have a Kids’ Tournament. This year, it is scheduled for August 

6. We are switching things a bit in an effort to attract more participants … the 

tournament will begin at 6pm and run until 9pm. Donations are needed for prizes—gift 

cards, ball tickets, fishing equipment, and of course, cash. This is a great event for our 

youth. If you can donate some of your time to help with the tournament, we would 

certainly be grateful. 

We have rules for fishing at Lake Lorelei, including limits and size restrictions. To better 

enforce the restrictions, three wardens have been appointed with the right to inspect any 

catch. All members are reminded that they are responsible for the actions of their 

guests—be sure everyone knows the rules. Absolutely no “live wells” or unattended lines 

are permitted ever —no exceptions. Please be cooperative with these volunteer wardens. 

Violations or refusal to cooperate could result in fines or the possible loss of Lake 

privileges. Don’t let that happen—let’s be respectful and have a great fishing season. 

Did you know that the Fish Committee stocks Lake Lorelei with 

bass at a cost of $1 per inch? That’s right, a 10 inch bass 

costs $10. Remember bass are ALWAYS catch and release.

Canada geese are probably the most adaptable and tolerant of all native waterfowl. If left 

undisturbed, they will readily establish nesting territories on any suitable pond or lake. 

Most people will welcome and start feeding the first pair of geese on their pond, but these geese 

will soon wear out their welcome. In just a few years, a pair of geese can easily become 50 to 

100 birds. The feces will foul the areas around the pond and surrounding yards and also damage 

the lawn, pond, and other vegetation. Geese that are fed will lose their fear of humans and attack 

adults, children, and pets during the nesting season (March through June). DO NOT FEED 

GEESE. Feeding bread, corn, potato chips, popcorn, and other human food items harms the 

geese and sets the scene for goose attacks on people. 

Canada geese are protected under both the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Ohio state 

law. This protection extends to the geese, goslings, nests, and eggs. Non-lethal scare and hazing 

tactics, which do not harm the geese, are allowed. These tactics include: pyrotechnics, dogs, 

barriers, a grid on the pond, laser pointers (at night), distress calls, or grape-flavored repellants 

such as Flight Control. 

LLPOA applied for and received authorization from ODNR to address our resident goose problem 

at the source – the nest. We anticipate that our fishermen will be leading the effort but all 

residents are encouraged to participate. The plan is simple: 

• Orange flags are available at the Guard House or Office and will be used to mark active 

nests 

• When you locate a nest, approach with care because geese are very protective – using an 

open umbrella or a leaf rake to keep an advancing goose at bay has been suggested 

• Shake each egg in the nest and mark it with an “X” but do not destroy the egg – if eggs 

are destroyed, the female goose will simply lay more eggs 

• Mark the number of eggs on the orange flag 

• When revisiting the nest, check to see if any additional eggs are present – if there are, 

shake them, mark them, and update the information on the orange flag 

Using this proven method, the goose will sit on the nest in an attempt to incubate the eggs. Lake 

Waynoka has been using this plan for several years and successfully reduced their resident goose 

population by about 75%. Now it is our turn to try. 

Some suggested deterrents for adult geese are: 

• Loud noises like “Shell crackers”, “Bird bangers”, and “Screamers” 

• Visuals like plastic flags, bird scare balloons, mylar scare tape, and laser light pointers (at 

night) 

• Dogs trained to chase the geese or even life-like dog replicas 

• Repellents applied to the grass to make the taste unappealing 

• Landscape modification – an unmoved 6-foot wide shoreline buffer of tall native grass or 

planting fescue as it has a bitter taste. Geese are attracted to grass that is heavily 

fertilized




By John Leininger, LLPOA Treasurer 


Over the past months I have repeatedly heard that the Board is a group of folks that 

needs to have VISION. I really cannot say I disagree with this comment but I also 

must say the short time I have been on the Board much Vision has been displayed. I 

know all of us have had visions of a big dredge cleaning silt from the Lake, the 

Clubhouse being totally revitalized both inside and out and common areas of the Lake 

being totally renewed. I have even heard visions of a senior-like center being built for 

our elderly with assisted care and maybe even a teen-like center with a skateboard 

park for our youth. I have heard many visionary projects over the past two years and 

all are worthy but then REALITY seems to set in and the visions kind of fade away. 

We, as a Board, are charged with the responsibility of maintaining LLPOA assets with 

available funding by our Code. As the Treasurer, and I think our past Treasurer would 

agree, the current funding available to the Board is at a break over point – meaning it 

is just able to maintain our assets at a limited stationary level. Please, do not think 

we are broke or bankrupt in any way, we are not, but in order to move to some 

visionary type projects we, as a Board, need membership help. We need your support 

and we need your ideas on how to fund much-needed projects to make this 

community one of the best in Ohio. 

Vision is a great thing, it creates forward movement, it creates progress, and at the 

end of the day it just makes life better for all of us. In order for a vision to become a 

reality, dollars must be invested and this is where visions at Lake Lorelei are being 

stopped dead in their tracks. I think we all, as members, have visions for our 

community but when it is time to step up to the plate and dig down in our pockets a 

little bit to make visions become reality some say “no way I just live here”. All of us 

need to really think about our attitudes toward our community and prioritize the 

visions we want created and which ones can wait. At the end of the day, all of us, 

whether a lot owner or one that has the nicest place on the Lake, will benefit 

financially from visions becoming reality. 

The last article I wrote addressed our Road Assessment and what a great model it was 

for future projects. I think a model such as this would be a tremendous way to begin 

the revitalization of needed infrastructure projects of our Lake community. We all 

pulled together on the roads. Now is the time for all us to pull together again and 

begin making other visions become realities. 

With all of this said I wish all a wonderful upcoming summer at the Lake. I am sure 

we are all ready for the warm weather. I certainly know I am.





By Denis Behm 

I don’t know how it happens, but it seems like every time I sit down to start this 

article, it is either raining or snowing! I hope that when you read this, the weather is 

much nicer and you have had some time to fish, ski, tube, and wakeboard or just 

relax in a cove. I know I hope I will have! 

Thanks to our members, boat registration started off great this year! We had about 

78% compliance by April 1 st and hope that we have 100% by the Memorial Day 

weekend. We are going to be checking stickers on a regular basis so make sure you 

have this year’s sticker on all of your watercraft; kayaks and pedal boats included, 

before you put them on the Lake. You should also be aware that we have Fish 

Wardens this year. They not only have the authority to check for current stickers on 

watercraft but to also check live wells and stringers to make sure our “catch and 

release” policy is being followed. So please, keep what is legal and put the rest back 

for another day of fishing enjoyment. 

Last boating season we had some complaints about boaters not knowing when 

“Sunset” was, as they were still skiing or tubing well after it. There was even one 

report of someone crazy enough to ski after dark! This is not only an accident waiting 

to happen but is a violation of ODNR law, that says “no person shall water-ski or be 

towed on any device, or operate a vessel towing a person between sunset and 

sunrise”. We all know that it is still light out for a little while after sunset, but it 

becomes harder to see a downed skier or tuber! So please, abide by the times for 

your safety and the safety of others and if in doubt of when Sunset is, just go to our 

website. There you will see a sunrise/sunset chart for our area. You can even print it 

out so you can show the kids you can’t take them for that one last run ‘cause it’s 

after sunset! 

Remember to be thinking about ways we can generate money to help get our main 

coves dredged/excavated. The money we get from the stickers is just covering the 

cost of our Lake patrol and replacing our rental docks. We hope to have some left 

over this year but it will be a drop in the bucker when you realize how much it is 

going to cost us to dredge out even one of the coves. 

I wish you all a Safe and Fun Summer on the Lake! If we are all courteous to each 

other and remember that all the coves are no-wake, we should be able to do just 

that!

By Mike Hopkins 

I think almost everyone has seen the giant rock at the end of Eifel Cove near the 

back gate. Besides being an impressive stone, weighing approximately 12 tons, it 

has beautiful reds, greens, blacks and other various colors. It also has a very 

interesting history. 

On March 15, 2011, Dr. Amanda Hunt, Professor of Geology at University of Cincinnati 

Clermont College along with some of her students, honored us with a visit and gave us a 

brief history of this Lake Lorelei treasure. The rock was originally formed 1.5 billion years 

ago. It is a metamorphic rock called gneiss. Minerals most prominent in the rock are pink 

orthoclase feldspar, clear or white quartz, muscovite mica and black biotite mica or 

hornblende. This gneiss formed the roots of ancient mountains in central Canada in a 

mountain chain much like the present day Himalayas. This part of the mountain was 

brought hundreds of miles from Canada around 120,000 to 150,000 years ago by the 

Illinoisan glacial ice sheet advance. This type of rock is known as a glacier erratic because 

it is out of place and found far from where it belongs. 

Aside from all the technical jargon, we should realize that we have a part of Earth's history 

on our doorstep. Where else can we reach out and touch something that is 1.5 billion years 

old? Think of what this rock could tell us if it could talk. It was formed by tremendous heat 

and pressure, shaped by earthquakes and volcanoes, and eventually picked up by a mile 

high ice sheet and carried hundreds of miles to find a new home here at Lake Lorelei. 

Thanks to Bill Herdman who had the vision and foresight to pursue the investigation. His 

efforts and those of the Pride Committee allow us all to enjoy this beautiful piece of history.

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph's Hospital. She 

timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell 

me how a patient is doing?" The operator said, "I'll be glad to 

help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?" 

The grandmother in her weak voice said, "Edith Findlay, Room 

302." The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I 

check with the nurse's station for that room." 

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and 

said, "I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Edith is 

doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came 

back normal and her doctor has scheduled her to be discharged 

tomorrow." The grandmother said, "Thank you. That's wonderful. 

I was so worried. God bless you for the good news. 

"The operator replied, "You're more than welcome. Is Edith your 

daughter?" The grandmother said, "No, I'm Edith Findlay in 

Room 302. No one tells me anything."

Why do we press harder 

on the remote control 

when we know the 

batteries are getting 

weak? 

Why is that people say 

they “slept like a baby” 

when babies wake up like 

every two hours? 

Why does someone 

believe you when you 

say there are four billion 

stars but check when you 

say the paint is wet? 

Spring is quickly approaching and it will soon be time to take the family outdoors. As the 

weather changes, we are already working on the preparations for the 10th Annual Car 

Show. 

This years show will be Sunday, September 25th at the Clubhouse. For those of you who 

are new to the Lake or just haven't been to our show before, it is a great family time. 

Cars 1985 and older are welcome to participate. We generally have nearly 150 cars to 

see. Some cars that we have are approaching the 100 years of age. 

Not only is it a good time to see nice cars and spend the day out in the community, it is 

also great to see the history of the automobile industry. This event is free of charge to 

spectators. 

This year we will be holding a special raffle (free to enter) to a member of the Lake. We 

look forward to seeing you this fall at the car show.





In January, 2011 the PRIDE Steering Committee met to prioritize projects for the 

upcoming year. Many needs or wishes had been identified and, after independent 

voting, Beach Rehabilitation was identified as the main project to be addressed during 

2011. Our beaches are a major asset and need to not only be preserved but they need 

to be improved. The East Beach or “Little Beach” was acknowledged as the most needy 

and that effort has begun!! 

The project, approved at the February LLPOA Board Meeting, is to be completed in 

phases that will allow the area to remain functional for the membership throughout the 

season. Phase 1, the demolition, is complete thanks to the efforts of your neighbors. 

This band of residents donated their time to remove a damaged cabana, old playground 

equipment, and a thorny tree. They loaded up the debris and hauled it away. It is 

important to recognize the contributions of our resident experts, Mike Hopkins and 

George Mason, who spearheaded the work. Their labor force consisted of: Mike Behm, 

Linda Brown, Jim Dabbelt, Bob Gambrel Jr., Bill Haines, Bill Herdman, John Hollatz, Dan 

Hoyle, Trina and Gary Luce, Keith Simpson, Cindi and Mike Wetzel, and Allen Williams. 

Josh Walker, a local landscaper, brought in his equipment to finish up the tree removal. 

Phase 2, installing proper drainage and rip-rap to prevent continuing beach erosion, is 

the next step. Alternatives are being reviewed and are tentatively scheduled for early 

May. PRIDE accumulated funds and contributions from the “Dollars for Hours” program 

will pay to have most of this done professionally. 

Other upcoming East Beach tasks will include: grading sand, installing a boardwalk, 

painting the cabanas, and (when funds permit) installing decking in the cabanas. 

PRIDE has two major fundraisers scheduled to continue the Beach Rehabilitation project. 

The first is participation in the Lake Lorelei Spring Yard Sale and is your opportunity to 

de-clutter your house while earning money for PRIDE. The second is sponsorship of the 

“Family Fun Mini-Marathon” in memory of our friend Barb Grutzmacher. This is a familyfriendly 

event aimed at building community and, again, earning money to benefit a 

project that Barb embraced with vigor. 

Please join us at PRIDE work parties and fundraisers—you will have fun!!

Pride is are also selling dirt 

again this year. 

Had two concerns: 1) fences 

around the lake especially in 

the back. 2) When are the 

Secondary roads going to be 

done. 

Bill reported that the fish 

population is higher in Lake 

Grunwald and would like to 

change “no fishing” to “catch 

and release”. 

Asked that we keep the cost 

of the bar codes down. 

Approximately $300,000.00 have 

been written off as it is uncollectible. 

However, there are letters sent to 

several people who owe money that 

they are being taken to court to 

attempt to collect funds. So far 

$5440.00 has been collected and 

$5300.00 has been put on a 

payment plan. Hopefully we will be 

collecting $30,000. 

Will be discussed at the next 

meeting 

Contact B. Herdman or J. Dabbelt 

1 – that is on the back burner as we 

have no money for repair. 

2- J. Dabbelt explained we used this 

year’s money last year to get more 

done at last year’s prices. They will 

contact Brown County Asphalt to see 

if we can get a deal to possibly do 

some roads this year. 

This will be put on next month’s 

agenda for further action. 

At this time, no decisions have been 

made as to the cost – the Board is 

looking at all options.

Lake Lorelei is a great location for bird 

watching. This spring has presented some 

wonderful opportunities for the observant. 

Several members reported seeing a loon on 

Lake Lorelei in the vicinity of the Clubhouse. 

Their excitement grew when a second one was 

located and their loon mating dance began. 

Could we possibly be the maternity ward for 

this pair? 

The common loon (Gavia immer) is anything but common. Red-eyed, with distinctive black 

and white markings, the loon has a dagger-like beak that apparently is perfect for its long, 

underwater fishing trips diving to depths of over 90 feet. The loon is most closely related to 

primitive birds, and its soliloquy of cries can sound eerily prehistoric. It is silent in winter, but 

in summer the loon is truly loquacious, with a repertoire of sounds that haunt the lake or 

waterway with strange laughter-like calls, falsetto wails and strange yodeling. At night, the 

effect is absolutely mesmerizing. 

True to its reclusive and solitary nature, the loon prefers a secluded lake or estuary. It is very 

territorial, normally with only one family to a small body of water. This bird is an excellent 

swimmer and can stay underwater for long periods, but its life on land is another story; larger 

than most ducks, and with its feel well toward its tail, the loon is extremely awkward and 

most vulnerable on land. As a result, the loon nests as close to the water as possible, nearly 

throwing itself out of the nest and into the water. Graceful in the water and in flight, they are 

almost comical on take-offs and landing. Their size, solid bone structure and weight 

distribution result in thrashing water take-offs that can last 100s of feet. The loon's landing is 

nothing so much as a controlled crash-glide. 

Common loons often migrate in loose flocks, and nearly a thousand birds have been spotted 

in one day along Lake Erie. As many as 400 have put down at one time on favored inland 

reservoirs. 

Loons nest on large ponds or lakes. The nests are built in soil or vegetation and can be up to 

two feet in diameter. Both the male and female incubate the eggs, and soon after hatching, 

the young leave the nest with the parents. They learn to fly at two or three months old.





Litter is misplaced solid waste - blown by wind and traffic and carried by water. It 

travels until trapped by a curb, building or fence. Once litter has accumulated, it 

invites people to add more. Often motorists and pedestrians are blamed for litter. 

According to Keep America Beautiful, however, they are just two of seven primary 

sources: 

• Household trash at the curbside 

• Dumpsters used by businesses 

• Loading docks 

• Construction and demolition sites 

• Uncovered trucks 

• Motorists 

• Pedestrians 

Litter is a costly problem. Some of our dues end up paying to clean up roads, 

ditches, recreation areas and waterways. The act of littering can harm the 

environment in many ways. Litter can cause injury to area wildlife, pose threats to 

human health and is aesthetically displeasing. 

When discarded as litter, human-made materials such as plastic, glass and aluminum 

can cause external injury to animals or, if accidentally ingested, cause starvation or 

suffocation. These objects may also become the home for disease-spreading insects 

such as flies and mosquitoes. 

What can you do to help? 

• Set an example for others, especially children, by not littering. 

• Carry a litterbag in your car, boat and on your bicycle. 

• Securely cover trash containers to prevent wind or animals from spreading 

litter. 

• Cover and secure any vehicle, truck or trailer carrying a load. Tarps can 

prevent litter from falling or blowing onto the roadside. 

• When using our recreation areas make sure to leave the area clean for the 

next person to enjoy. 

Let’s organize and clean-up the litter at Lake Lorelei. Clean the area by your house 

and the surrounding stretch of road. Adopt the recreation area down the block. It’s 

our community and it’s up to all of us to make it clean. 

Contact Trina (875-4700), who has offered to organize and help the volunteers who 

will step up for this effort.
