FIREWORKS

The annual fireworks show from Sweetwater Lake Beach were "oohed and aahed" from the shore and from the boats on July 12th. Threatening skies during the day cleared for a picture perfect evening for the show. The fireworks presentation is sponsored and paid for by the Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owner's Association at a cost of $4,000. The CSLOA also operates the clubhouse and library buildings at the entrance to the lakes in addition to supporting the Cordry Sweetwater Fire Department.

Be sure to renew your memberships this September at the Ox Roast.

SATURDAY CSCD MEETING

The CSCD decided to hold 3 summer meetings on Saturday mornings in 2014. Today's meeting appeared to me to have "average" attendance for the usual monthly meetings. An "open house" from 10:00 to 12:00 welcomed visitors to walk through the new office/maintenance facility.

DREDGING CONTINUES

Dredging on the end of the cove between Heron Drive and Hummingbird Drive has begun. This private work is being done by SRS Company who did dredging the past 2 years on the lakes.

OPEN HOUSE/CSCD MEETING

Out with the old and in with the new. We all miss the old building but the new building is beautiful and functional. The Cordry Sweetwater Conservancy monthly meeting will be this Saturday, July 12th beginning at 8:30 AM. This is one of 3 Saturday meeting scheduled this summer to possibly attract and increase attendance. Following the meeting will be the official "Open House" to show the public the new building. The Open House is scheduled from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon. Here's your opportunity to see and hear the board in action and also tour the new facility.

FIREWORKS-SAUSAGE/PANCAKE BREAKFAST

Next weekend offers 2 important events. The annual fireworks display on Sweetwater will be on Saturday evening. With a house full of company, don't worry about breakfast - just visit the CSLOA Clubhouse for the Sausage/Pancake Breakfast prepared and served by the Fire Department Volunteers. These volunteer projects need to be supported by all of us. We tend to forget about the Fire Department and the EMT Volunteers until there's a need ......like.....a few weeks ago on the beach when emergency care was needed. Help support the local community volunteers.

CORDRY BOAT PARADE

The best ever Cordry Lake Boat Parade was enjoyed by both boaters and residents on shore on July 5th, 2014. Hats off to Natalie Beavers for helping organize this year's event.

SHAKE THE LAKE

The Shake the Lake party on Saturday, June 5th at Sweetwater Lake was a smashing hit. Music by Dave and Rae was enjoyed by all. You could walk across the lake on boats!
