The Clary Lake Association Momentum Committee would like members of the public to take part in its first-ever event – a boat-launch cleanup party. The committee is looking for volunteers to help clear out rocks from in front of the public boat launch, making it more usable both now and when the water level is finally restored (hopefully this fall/winter).

Lunch will be provided for all volunteers. For more details, see the post on the Clary Lake Association website, clarylake.org/wordpress/news, and keep an eye on the news page this week for additional updates about this event.

Those planning to attend should RSVP to George Fergusson at gsfergusson@clarylake.org or 549-5991.
