Lake Lanier Associations Upcoming Shore Sweep & Corps Meeting

By llanews

Dear List Members,

Shore Sweep

A reminder that the 20th Annual Shore Sweep is this Saturday, September 27.  We are looking for two more site volunteers for the south end of the lake.  If you are interested in helping, please call the office as soon as possible at 770-503-7757.  All the information on the various sites and the dropoff locations for large items are on our Web site

The Lake Lanier Association urges all volunteers to be mindful of the low lake level and suggests that volunteers stay on the dry areas of the shoreline.  All small children and non-swimmers should stay away from the water’s edge because of sudden steep dropoffs, and the Lake Lanier Association strongly recommends that small children wear lifejackets.    Please read additional safety concerns.

Remember to bring your old T-shirts to the party for your contests! We are looking for the people with the oldest T-shirts and those with the most consecutive years of T-shirts. (Must be present with shirts to win.) The party is at Lanier Park on Buford Dam Road from 1 – 4 pm. Lanier Park is a quarter of a mile east of the Dam Store on Buford Dam Road.

We appreciate all your efforts and thank you for twenty years of support!

Corps to hold public meeting

Mark your calendars for October 29 when the US Army Corps of Engineers will hold public scoping meetings as part of the update and review process for its Water Control Manual for the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin.  In our area, your opportunity to comment on Lake Lanier’s role and needs will be at the Georgia Mountains Center in Gainesville from 5 – 8 pm on October 29.  The meeting is a open house format and there will be the opportunity to record and deliver your opinions.
