Thank you to all the volunteers who made the Boat Removal Assistance Day a success! 

Several crews of volunteers came equipped with trucks and/or trailers to help community residents move their boats to their homes.  The turnout of volunteers and residents was amazing.  Nearly 40 boats were moved.  In addition, trailer loads of garbage were removed from boat storage areas and other areas of the parkland.  

All remaining boat owners are reminded to remove their boats by December 1st.  Removal of the boats annually allows for parkland clearing and cleanup around boat storage areas, reduces the amount of abandoned boats that have been historically left on the parkland each year, removes chains annually to prevent choking of healthy trees and ensures only active boats return to the parkland in the spring. 

Thanks to all those who helped!

The Putnam Lake Fire Dept. Ladies Aux. will be hosting a Kids Halloween Party on Oct 31st 6-8 pm.
 Free to attend, Putnam Lake Area kids ages 0-12  accompanied by an adult.
 Enter through back doors to upper hall.

Although the rain washed out the initial date, the following weekend made for a Great Winter Gathering!  It was terrific to see such an amazing community turnout.  Thanks to all those who came and to all those who helped make the event such a success. 

We all look forward to more events that bring the community together!

Close to 100 volunteers gave their time over the weekend of Dec. 1 to remove garbage and debris from the parkland. Piles and piles of garbage were collected. (Including 67 tires!) Brush and old driftwood was burned to help clean the shoreline and lake bed. Over 25 large trees that had fallen into the lake were removed! Throughout the weekend neighbors, adults and children pitched in to help clean. A great way to start the park district!

This effort has certainly beautified our parkland, but these work hours will also save the Park District money for future clean-up.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
