Latest News From Lake Jodeco

 

 

What's been going on at the Jodeco silt pond?
 
Recently if you were out near the silt pond you may have wondered what was going on.

 

The answer is simple - the first phase of the Lake Jodeco dredging project was underway!

 

 

 

 
Starting on Feb 27th and running through March 2nd, the silt pond (next to the Meadow) was dredged. By dredging the silt pond, we reduce the amount of silt entering the lake and help preserve the future of our beautiful lake.
 
For those of you who helped with fund-raising, or contributed to the cause, it's a chance to see some of the funds raised by your efforts at work.
 
This is an exciting first step in our lake dredging project. Stay tuned for further news. 
 
  
 

 

Thanks to everyone who donated and/or purchased items for the fund-raising yard sale held on November 8 & 9. Over $4,500 was raised for the lake dredging fund.
Thanks especially to Kate for her leadership of an incredibly hard-working team of volunteers who pulled off this feat in a short timeframe. Volunteers got together to make signs and then posted them all around the area. Others used their trucks to pick up items that were donated. Another group staged and priced the items and acted as sales assistants. After the yard sale, some showed up to box up the remaining items to give to charity. 
 
If you see any of these volunteers, congratulate them on a job well done!
