Goose Round Up Permit. Help Needed
Greetings:
We need some help in preparation for the 2011 Goose Round-Up.
You are receiving this because: you have either helped out with this in the past; or have expressed interest in effects of an uncontrolled goose population; or you use the beach during summer and particularly benefit from the Goose Round Up; OR merely b/c you are on the Moon Shadows email list.
The Permit we obtained 4 years ago for this extremely successful project will not be valid in 2011. Some rules and requirements have changed (ie. Nest removal and egg destruction is mandatory now). We need to obtain signatures from 70% of Rush Lake lakefront property owners, as we did 4 years ago. It is extremely important that we get this done or there will be no Goose Round Up in 2011. We need help.

A crew of us went door to door last week (Thanks to Mike Getsoian, Rick Conlin, Ken Powers, Jack Powers, Courtney Clark and the other usual suspects). We obtained about 40-50 signatures so far.
We still need:
- Approximately 50 more door-to-door attempts;
- Approximately 50 letters (and envelopes stuffed) to be mailed to summer cottage owners at their winter mailing address; and some phone calls to be made in follow-up to “1″ and “2″ above.
- Number “1″ above needs to be done now. Numbers “2″ & “3″ above need to be done over the next month, and can be done with flexibility from your home. We have all the materials and forms you will need, and will provide you with all the necessary information. It is easy, but just a little bit of time consuming.
IF you can HELP, please reply.
Thanks!!

PS: Please feel free to forward this to any of your neighbors, or to recruit any of your children (over 18 years).

CAUTION: Weed Suppressant Devices Installed at Beach
In our continued efforts to battle the weed encroachment coming in from the north & south shorelines at our beach, we installed “Lake Bottom Blankets” in the lake on the north side wading area at our beach this past weekend. These are enviro-friendly weed barriers that cover weeds on the lake floor bottom, blocking sunlight and thereby eliminating the weeds. The ‘blankets’ will stay in place for about a month and then be moved to the south side of wading area where they will stay for thirty days. They will then be removed.
Please prevent children from playing with them, pulling on them, pulling the ropes attached to them, or disturbing them, etc. It is okay to swim over them, but they hover just above the lake bottom and contain iron rods, so please use caution.
The system is designed to deprive undesirable weeds of sunlight for thirty days, after which the weeds will die and be gone for the season. After repeated use for several years, the weeds may cease growing each spring entirely. For more information, visit www.lakebottomblanket.com. We will install them sooner in the season next year (May) in order to have them fully removed by July.
