 Ron, 
 
 I much appreciated hearing from you and was overwhelmed by your  
 newsletter. What a great professional publication! I was proud of 
 ours  at one time but now on second look it reminds me more of a 
 high school  journal run off on a mimeograph. Remembers those? The 
 idea of using ads  certainly helps defray the cost of 
 printing.When we print our summer  bulletin I will send you a 
 copy. 
 
 I am impressed at how much the Association is doing and the 
 apparent  level of volunteers. This seems to be our greatest 
 problem, with the  exception of raising funds to support the 
 milfoil program, and the  number of volunteers who search for 
 milfoil while out boating or  fishing. This past summer they 
 contributed 849 hours to our grant-in-aid  program and as you know 
 this qualifies for $10 per hour.That is our best  fund raiser and 
 provides a service at the same time. 
 
 I haven't followed through with the material you gave me 
 concerning  the necessary paperwork to obtain a tax free status 
 but it is still on  the agenda.. 
 
 Cliff Aiken and I of the Federation of Vt Lakes met with David 
 Deen,  chairman of the House Fish and Wildlife Committee, last 
 fall to discuss  the plight of the Vermont lakes and ponds and the 
 need to fund the  Grant-in-Aid program the way it was intended. He 
 immediately picked up  on the required water craft sticker program 
 in Maine and subsequently  had a bill written and introduced to 
 the legislature on January 29. At  this point I can't see that it 
 is making very much progress, but should  it be approved it would 
 put more monies into our lake programs. The  bill includes more 
 than just the sticker requirement as it really is a  rewrite of 
 the invasive species law..I really believe the Lakes and  Ponds 
 needs to change their priorities and give more funds to lake with  
 preventative programs as apposed to lakes managing milfoil. The 
 cost  discrepancy is great and no one has successfully removed 
 milfoil from  the lakes, and more interesting, all lakes with 
 preventative programs  have not had an invasion.Put your money 
 where it works! 
 
 Let's keep in touch, Dave
