LMPA Members and Neighbors:
As you may have heard, a tragedy occurred yesterday at Sandy Beach around 5 pm. A 9 year old boy was pulled from the water after being submerged for 10–15 minutes. Local residents sprung into action in order to locate and bring the boy to shore where life saving efforts were made by professionals who had arrived on the scene. As of Sunday evening, the boy was being treated at UMASS Memorial Hospital in Worcester.
Although it doesn’t reduce the significance of this tragedy, it is important to know that this occurred well after Family Fun Day had concluded and that the boy did not attend the event earlier that day. Some news reports have erroneously reported that the near drowning occurred during the Family Fun Day Event.
This will be a topic of discussion at tonight’s meeting of the General Membership. We hope to see you there.
Thank you,
The Officers and Board of the Lake Maspenock Preservation Association
