ATTENTION ALL LAKE PLACID CLEAN UP VOLUNTEERS

Our first Lake Placid clean up event will take place next Saturday February 18th beginning at 8:00 am ish. CULP has obtained permission to access the lakebed through Zipp camp, which is located at the end of Reiley Road. Many thanks to Mr. Junior Zipp for his permission and allowing our group to use his property as access the lakebed. Mark Dietz has arranged various equipment to do most of the heavy clearing but we need able bodied volunteers to help clear the brushy areas nearest the water as we do not want to sink any of the equipment. Volunteers will help in the clearing of those areas along the water as well as the removal of other debris including fallen trees, pipe, and smaller logs and of course the ever-present trash. Volunteers can stage and park their vehicles either at my house at 945 Reiley Road or in the area directly behind the mailboxes in proximity to the boats being parked. This is at the direction of Mr. Zipp so none of the residence in Zipp camp will be affected or blocked in while we are working on the cleanup. We have agreed to keep the traffic in Zipp camp to a minimum so you will need to make the short hike down to the lakebed with your tools. We all can get our steps in doing so. Volunteers should bring whatever yard / garden tools you may have including the following: Wheelbarrow or yard cart Shovels Picks / ax Tree saws Chain saws -bar lube / gas Machetes’ Good pair of work gloves I suggest you dress for the event in heavy jeans, work shirts and work boots or even snake boots, if you have them. CULP’s plan is to have plenty of water available as well as some groceries to sustain all of our volunteers. If you have already volunteered, please confirm with me or if you would like to volunteer there will be plenty opportunity to assist in this cleanup event regardless of your abilities. My phone # is 210-213-2529 or email bfisher2009@hotmail.com. EVERYONE, this is our lake community’s first lake clean up event so participation by property owners from throughout the lake community is desired and will be greatly appreciated. We look forward to seeing each of you there and working with you to start the process of cleaning up areas on the lake beneficial to all property owners. Thanks, and hope to see you there Your CULP Board
