BEACH CAPTAINS’ & OFFICERS’ MEETING
The most important date to put on your calendar is the meeting of the Beach Captains and Officers on June 13 to be held at 9:30 am sharp at the Shoreham Hotel. We have a number of issues that will require your vote and urge you to attend. We will be taking a new approach on encouraging members by giving you a list of the people on your beach who have not sent in their dues for 2015, so you will know exactly who to contact as you make the rounds of your beach.
Review information about Beach Captains’ responsibilities here. Beach captains, please read before our meeting; others, read it if you are interested in becoming a Beach Captain. We really need volunteers from each Beach. Call Vicky Williams (218-847-5923) if you are willing to volunteer. Call Mary Ann Bond (218-846-1898) if you cannot make the meeting — she will let you know how to pick up your materials.
Our Beach Captains work diligently to help keep our membership roster up to date. Please help by responding to their requests for information. They will be working on your beach starting mid-June. Thanks to all the volunteers who help make MelSal work.
MISSING 4 WHEELER:
Please keep an eye out for this 4 wheeler that was taken from my residence on south Melissa Dr Saturday between the hours of 6pm-12am while I was fishing on lake Sallie. If your traveling to and from the lakes and see one like this please send me or the Becker County sheriff any information. And remember association members it could happen to you.
Thank you Danny Clark
