PICKEREL POND ASSOCIATION

ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2004

The following Cottage Road residences were represented: Brennan, Cates, Dobson, Doucette, Ducey/Sakelakos, Felice/April, Harmon, Lightbown, Millett, Morin, Porter, Robinson, Ward. Joining us from across the pond were Steve and Michelle Reynolds.

· Paul Gregory, Maine DEP addressed the group. He covered what had been done to the pond, to date, and what we could expect would have to be done in the future to keep the invasive plants under control.
· Mr. Gregory brought along Maggie Shannon from the Maine Congress of Lake Associations. Maggie has a wealth of information and is willing to work with us. She told us that there was funding available, through grants and various agencies, and there are seminars available to help us identify plants in the pond. She suggested that we publicize our activities outward so that outlying communities will know what we are doing.

A big thank you to Mike Ward for arranging this for us
