Autumn at Island Lake

Leaves have been falling for weeks and people have been blowing and raking regularly.

October can be such a fickle month and it can also be the most beautiful.

We have several new families with homes on the lake.  This will be a good time for all of our members to invite their new neighbors to attend this meeting.  We welcome all property owners from around the lake.

The 14^th annual 4^th of July boat parade was another great success thanks to Clare Hulett.  The parade is a source of pride for lake residents and a lot of fun for those involved. 

Once again, we are proud of our family of swans this year.  Mother, father and their three babies are all doing ‘swimmingly’.

For the ladies, there will be a luncheon held on Thursday, September 8^th at Los Cuatro Amigos Restaurant on N. US 23 in East Tawas.  Call Judy Sederlund at 989-685-2804 or Dawn Hartel at 989-685-8771 to R.S.V.P. if you plan to attend.

Don’t forget the second Island Lake Arts and Craft Show at the corner of Oak and Dyer Roads on Saturday, September 3 and Sunday, September 4. 

This has been an extremely warm summer.  I hope this hasn’t kept you from enjoying your place on the lake this year.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the meeting on Saturday, September 3.

Sincerely,      Larry Sills

Springtime at Island Lake

The winter was long. The ice was late in departing, but the swans were back.

Slowly but surely things are coming alive at Island Lake.

There is a beaver!

A friend and I were up at our cabin the last weekend in April and saw a large wake on the lake. He said "look a beaver" and I told him there were a number of muskrats living in the area. As we watched the animal came out of the water and sat on a log. It was a beaver! We looked at it through binoculars and confirmed our sighting. 

2011 spring meeting

 

April 13, 2011

Dear Island Lake Property Owners,

The annual spring meeting of the Island Lake Property Owners Association will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 28, at the Trinity United Methodist Church, 125 W. Main Street, Rose City.  Our meeting will last approximately one hour or less.

The directors will meet at 9:30 a.m.

This notice is being sent to all Island Lake property owners in an effort to keep everyone informed about the issues around the lake.  The purpose of the association is to help improve our living experience on the lake, and also bring the residents closer together.

We have met with representatives from Frontier, our new phone company.  They plan on attending the meeting to find out what it will take to get DSL to Island Lake.  We have also invited the area fire chief to explain the importance of keeping the easements clear.

This meeting is our way of kicking off another great summer at Island Lake, and we hope to see all of you there.

Sincerely,

Larry Sills, President
