A meeting of the Pickerel Pond Association was held on Sunday, May 27, 2007, hosted by Marie Doucette.

President Karl DeBisschop called the meeting to order at 10:10 AM. Karl stated that he was going to contact the state regarding the condition of the pond and inquire about the state’s plans for monitoring the hydrilla problem.

There was general discussion about the condition of the pond and everyone seemed to agree that pond appeared to be in decent shape. The large amount of empty muscle shells, mentioned, appears to be caused by hungry critters rather than a pollution problem.
