Just a reminder that we will begin to lower the lake to winter level starting on October 15th 😢. Enjoy the next two weeks of boating and watching the leaves change color. The member’s launch gate will be left open from Oct 8 – 15 for those of you waiting until the very last second to remove your boats. Also, please remember to complete any waterfront projects this fall, as the water level is difficult to control in the spring due to rain and snowmelt.
On August 24th, the KLC held its Annual Member’s Meeting at the KLIA meeting hall. Several dozen members were present to hear reports of yearly activities from each board committee, and the board responded to questions from members. We are happy to welcome new board member Malonie Langdon and congratulate reelected directors Ron Jensis, Bernie Kelleher, Drew Nelson, and Pete Walkes.

Kayak Rally: 8:30 – 11:30, rain or shine. Paddle around the lake with any non-motorized vessel and collect as many tickets as you can from orange flagged locations. Print your name and phone # on each ticket and bring your tickets to the Rt 28 launch by 12:00 noon. Tickets will be drawn for prizes. Don’t forget a pencil/pen and a plastic bag for your tickets.
Note: We are looking for additional orange flag bearers. The more the merrier. If you are available in the morning to fly an orange flag at your dock and pass out tickets for the kayak rally, please call Pete Walkes by this weekend at 914-217-6770.
Boat Parade: Starts 1:30 from One Tree Island. Decorate your vessel to tour the lake, entertain your neighbors, make some noise and have a ton of fun. Be recognized for best decorations and most patriotic boat.
Ring of Fire: 9:00pm. Light your flares at 9:00pm along the shoreline for the annual Ring of Fire. Flares and KLC logo merchandise will be available at the Rt. 28 launch from 10:00am to 1:00pm on July 4th, or call Pete Walkes 914-217-6770 to arrange for flares at other times.
