A reminder that the 21st  Annual Shore Sweep is this Saturday, September 19 – rain or shine!

We are looking for two more site volunteers, one to help out at Port Royale and the other to be at the old road bed for Hwy 53 close to Lanier Bridge.  If you are interested in helping, please call the office as soon as possible at 770-503-7757.  All the information on the various sites and the dropoff locations for large items are on the flyer on our Web site.

We have added one more site for large items being moved by boat which is the old 53 road bed in Hall County, which is the first cove north of Lanier Bridge.  Marine Specialties will have 3-4 barges on the water to assist boaters transporting styrofoam and large debris.  If you are taking large items to marinas in Hall County, please only take them to Aqualand, Gainesville Marina and Clarks Bridge Park and leave them secured and floating in the water by the boat ramp.

Large items in Forsyth County can be taken to Bald Ridge or Port Royale and must be taken out of the water.  There is another drop off site at the end of Beaver Ruin Rd which is accessible by water only on the south side of YD 4 – 5.

The party is at Van Pugh Park North this year from 1 – 3 pm.  Van Pugh North is at the end of Gaines Ferry Road in Flowery Branch.  We need donations of small gifts for raffle prizes for our young volunteers.  If you can donate gift certificates, small gifts or services, please bring them to the office by Friday afternoon or bring them to the party on Saturday.  We’d appreciate as much help as possible this year.

We had a record number of entries for our T-shirt contest this year and we thank all the participants.  The winner is Rose McKenna from Cumming and her design will be on the T-shirts.

We thank you all for your support and look forward to seeing you on Saturday when hopefully the sun will be shining on our fuller lake.
