Error on CLBOD Ballots

Unfortunately due to an error by the Board in interpreting a recent By-Law change brought about by a recent resignation of one of our members, we inadvertently sent out ballots indicating there were four openings on the Board rather than five.

Due to this error on our part, we are extending the voting deadline to July 18th. New ballots will be mailed out in the next 7-10 days. We will announce the results on that day which also happens to be the Lake's Pig Roast.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we appreciate your support on this.

REMEMBER: Vote, Vote, Vote

Lake Treatment on June 9th

The Lake will be treated on Tuesday 6/9/2015.

 Normal restrictions apply. Please see signs posted around the area for specific restrictions.

JUNE CLAPO MEETING

The June CLAPO Meeting will be on Monday, June 15th.

Please note that this date is different than what is posted in the lake mailing. The CLAPO Meeting is typically held on the second Monday of the month. This month's meeting will be held on the third Monday.

Crandon Yard Sale is This Weekend

Please note that the Community Yard Sale is THIS SATURAY, June 13.

A "Community Yard Sale" ad will be published in the New Jersey Herald and The Township Journal this week. General signage will lead shoppers to our lake. We ask each home to post their own signage leading to their sale. Scarpulla Field may be used as well.

We are advertising a start and end time of 9 am to 2 pm. Feel free to post alternate times or additional dates on your signage. This time span has proven to be the most active for our area.

We understand that not all residents are online and on Facebook. The Crandon mailing will not get the word out to all residents until the very end of the week. PLEASE MAKE YOUR NEIGHBORS AWARE OF THE SALE. ADDITIONAL SIGNS WILL GO UP ALERTING THE COMMUNITY ON MONDAY.

Thank you!

Alert! Coyotes

Be advised that coyotes have been spotted in our area.

Please be sure that your pets are safe.

Fish & Wildlife offers the following tips for avoiding encounters:

• Never feed a coyote. Deliberately feeding coyotes puts pets and other residents in the neighborhood at risk.
• Feeding pet cats and/or feral (wild) cats outdoors can attract coyotes. The coyotes feed on the pet food and also prey upon the cats.
• Put garbage in tightly closed containers that cannot be tipped over.
• Remove sources of water, especially in dry climates.
• Bring pets in at night.
• Put away bird feeders at night to avoid attracting rodents and other coyote prey.
• Provide secure enclosures for rabbits, poultry, and other farm animals.
• Pick up fallen fruit and cover compost piles.
• Although extremely rare, coyotes have been known to attack humans. Parents should monitor their children, even in familiar surroundings, such as backyards.
• Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house.
• Clear brush and dense weeds from around dwellings - this reduces protective cover for coyotes and makes the area less attractive to rodents and rabbits. Coyotes, as well as other predators, are attracted to areas where rodents are concentrated like woodpiles.
• If coyotes are present, make sure they know they're not welcome. Make loud noises, blast a canned air siren, throw rocks, or spray them with a garden hose.

Community Garden

The original plots that were laid out have all been taken. The garden has already taken form, and dozen or so residents are working like busy bees! I think if there is interest, I can squeeze out an extra plot or two. If you have been sitting on the fence about this, c'mon take the plunge you won't regret it and you will also meet some of your Lake neighbors. Again, this is the final call for you to plant and harvest your own inexpensive ORGANIC veggies!
