Fireworks:Annual Membership:
Music on the LakeThe monies collected in this fund will be split between hosts. For example, if we collect $3,000 in this fund, $1,000 would be given to three different host families for them to choose a date and a band.
The “Music on the Lake” event would then be open to the Shavehead community to enjoy. If you are a music lover, dancer, or just someone who loves having a good time-consider giving to this new fund or volunteering to be a host. AED Project:Shavehead Lake wants to put safety first as we all enjoy our summers and winters on the lake.
Something new you may see around the lake are Automatic Emergency Defibrillators (AEDs). Three units, both adult and pediatric, have been installed at the following locations:
We will be holding an AED training session on May 13 at Camp Friedenswald. The training will be at noon immediately following the SLA meeting. All are welcome to attend. We are hoping to add another lakeside location at the Camp in the coming months. We are budgeting $5,000 for this final installation. |

We don't have any answers for this yet - if anyone has found any useful information, please let us know. In the meantime, if you are one of the unlucky ones to have experienced this, please let us know another address if you would like to receive mailings.

Aquatic Weed ControlThe Shavehead Lake Association is spearheading efforts to control invasive weeds on Shavehead Lake. But many residents also have nuisance weeds and there has been some confusion over what to do about them.
More information is coming on the invasive weeds and the plan, but in the meantime, if you would like to discuss solutions for nuisance weeds, you can contact Sediment Removal Solutions. They are state licensed to provide services to our lake. Several neighbors have coordinated to have treatment done for their houses and have been happy with the results. No more raking the weeds yourself! Sediment Removal Solutions Jim Donahoe Office: 574-533-2597 Email: jim@aquaticweedcontrol.com |
News you can use
In case of emergency, Camp Friedenswald has purchased a Self-prompting AED Defibrillator unit which is located by the office door on the office @ the main camp building. Spread the word but let's hope nobody needs this!
