Dear LMPA Mem­bers,

It cer­tain­ly is a unique time for all of us and we hope every­one is stay­ing healthy and safe.   As we move into May and get ready for sum­mer on the lake we do so with a lev­el of uncer­tain­ty that we have nev­er felt before.  It appears that lim­i­ta­tions on gath­er­ings will be eas­ing soon but what that looks like remains unknown.  

With this in mind, we want­ed to share our cur­rent think­ing on the upcom­ing sum­mer and LMPA events on the lake:    

·        We have decid­ed to con­tin­ue with the LMPA Annu­al Meet­ing of the Mem­ber­ship on June 1 at 7:00 pm but we will be doing so vir­tu­al­ly via Zoom.   Please reach out to lmpa.org@verizon.net for log in infor­ma­tion.

·        Impor­tant­ly, we have elec­tions for the Exec­u­tive Board at the Annu­al Meet­ing.   We have two posi­tions open this year.   Sec­re­tary (replac­ing Pat­ty Hol­land) and Gen­er­al Exec­u­tive Board Mem­ber (replac­ing Denise Voto­la­to).    If you are inter­est­ed in one of these posi­tions, please send an email to lmpa.org@verizon.net.    Can­di­dates will have an oppor­tu­ni­ty dur­ing the Zoom call to say a few words if you’d like or if you can­not attend the Zoom call, please include a brief para­graph with your email about why you are inter­est­ed and why you would be a good Exec­u­tive Board mem­ber.    We will be able to vote dur­ing the meet­ing using the Zoom appli­ca­tion.   We know of sev­er­al inter­est­ed indi­vid­u­als so we look for­ward to wel­com­ing two new mem­bers to the board with fresh ideas and ener­gy!  

·        Light up the Lake was a huge suc­cess last year and we have decid­ed to hold this event again this year and move it up to Memo­r­i­al Day week­end start­ing on Fri­day, May 22.   Just like last year, let’s all work to light up our homes and boats with cre­ative light­ing and get out on the water at dusk to enjoy the fes­tive atmos­phere around the lake.

·        The Spring Fling has been can­celled and will not be resched­uled this year.

·        We are plan­ning to hold the annu­al 4^th of July Boat Parade so start work­ing on your boat decorations.

·        For the Annu­al LMPA Corn­hole Tour­na­ment, we will wait and see what the guid­ance is for gath­er­ings.  We would like to find a way to hold the tour­na­ment but we may need to make adjust­ments in terms of size and/or tim­ing.   We will keep you post­ed.

·        The sta­tus of open­ing Sandy Beach and the boat ramp is under review by Hop­kin­ton Parks & Rec.  We are in reg­u­lar com­mu­ni­ca­tion with Parks & Rec and will keep you posted.We look for­ward to see­ing every­one at our very first Vir­tu­al Annu­al Meet­ing on June 1!

Thank you and stay safe, 

The LMPA E Board
