PLA Greetings,
Greetings All PLA members:
My first communication with the membership allows me, as the incoming President, to outline PLA changes in 2026 and announce the meetings and events schedule. First off, we have comings and goings to the PLA board as voted in our last membership meeting in August. Mike Cullen is continuing as Treasurer, Bryan Rudes, Kate Estler and I are just starting as Vice-president, Secretary and President respectively. Our eleven trustees are listed here on our website (https://pisecolake.org/). Feel free to contact us if you have issues or questions.
Our Adopt-A-Highway cleanups are scheduled for May 13, July 15, and September 16. Volunteers should arrive at the Piseco School Meeting Room by 9 am for a pre-cleanup briefing and distribution of cleaning/safety gear. It should only take 1 to 1.5 hours to freshen up our road segment. Let’s have a large turnout to make short work of this community effort.
The PLA will sponsor our semiquincentennial fireworks spectacular on Sunday, July 5. We were fortunate to land this date as it was the last opening available. We are most grateful to George Sherman who is allowing the American Fireworks Company to shoot from his point on Higgins Bay. Thank you so much George! The debris cleanup is scheduled for Monday morning starting at 09:00.
Our first General Membership meeting will be July 18, held at the Piseco Community Center on Old Piseco Rd. Our final Membership/Business meeting will be August 15 also at the Community Center. Both meetings will run from 9AM to 11AM.
We will have another Meet & Greet for members on July 14 at the Irondequoit Inn, now called the Inn at Piseco Lake. This relaxed get together, in one of our oldest locales, will offer free hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar for beverages. The event will run from 4PM till 6PM.
Finally, I will remind you that we will be sending out one-time email invoices for PLA membership renewal later this month. The email will offer online renewal via Paypal but you can also mail checks to the listed PLA P.O. Box or pay in person at one of the membership meetings. If you misplace the email you can request another email invoice. In advance, thank you for your continued support of our efforts.
Doug Phelps
President
