Just heard that Friends of Deep Creek Lake will receive the Leadership for Service Volunteer Award from the North American Lake Management Society (NALMS). Congratulations for all you do!

Speaking of Friends of Deep Creek lake, they are asking all interested in the lake to rally and ask Governor Hogan to set-aside $25 million for lake restoration and sediment dredging.  Read their latest newsletter for all the details.

And, speaking of the lake and awards, The Deep Creek Lake Property Owners Association just won the  NALMS 2018 Lake Management Success Stories Award for their article discussing the effectiveness of public/private partnerships.  The article may be seen here.  We are fortunate to have such active, effective organizations supporting the lake, watershed and our community .  Congratulations!

While it pertains to September’s designation, we just received this video of Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford showing some important “signs” for us in Maryland. I thought my readers would be interested and I certainly learned something from the video. Enjoy.
