Decisions/ Discussion:

1. Joan Brownell from Ponderosa Pines Resort Announced that her tagged fish was caught by a man in Broadalbin on June 2nd. It was an 18" Trout. Those interested in participating in our Winter fish tagging event call Carl Ward at Captain Carl’s 518-863-7050 to find out how to get involved. We will also be contacting insurance companies about a “Big Purse” fish.

2. The Bi-Laws were unanimously ratified and Bob Campbell from Edinburg Marine is now taking them to a lawyer, Mike Poulin for our next step. To read the Bi-Laws visit http://www.visitsacandaga.com/GSLBA.htm
or call 518-863-8398 and ask for a printed copy.

3. Wallace Hart from the Fulton County Chamber

           a. www.unshackleupstate.com is opposing new legislature, to make health insurance mandatory for employers to provide for their employees. We are opposed to more mandates on employers that make it more expensive and more difficult to do business in NY. It is important that you let Senator Farley www.senatorfarley.com ( 518-762-3733) and Senator Bruno www.senatorbruno.com (518) 455-3191. They insist they do NOT hear from business owners on these issues.

          b. There will be a Meeting Thursday June 8th at the Perth Town Hall on a 10 Year plan for Route 30. Will the road be widened, signage etc.

         c. The chamber is running out of Sacandaga Lake maps and will be producing a new one – so if you have information to correct, suggestions or want to be part of the map contact Allison Swartz at the Chamber. 518-725-0614.

4. Sand Island -The Sand Island is at a stand still now between the DEC and the APA and HRBRRD.

5. War on the Shore at Chelsea’s was cancelled due to lack of participation – do we want to reschedule?

6. Chowderfest is coming up quick – Saturday June 17th from 2pm-6pm. We need posters and contestants. Dominick is contacting someone about a chowder table. We decided tickets would be $10.00 for adults, Kids 5 an under FREE, Kids 4-12 $5.00, and Senior Citizens $7.00. We will have wrist bands, hamburgers, hot dogs, clam bake, Bouncy Ride, Wizzie the Clown and Live Music. All Proceeds will first pay for the party, then benefit the GSLBA.

7. MAP – We want to look into doing a map as a fundraiser for the GSLBA. We want to contact JIMAPCO and the snowmobile club who did this before. The idea will be for businesses to have these maps for sale at a nominal fee. We discussed having a winter and summer map. ALSO we need GPS Directions!

8. Another Fund Raising idea was to have a Great Sacandaga Lake T-Shirt Available for sale. We are going to contact Aaron Miller for Pricing and Designs.

9. Sand Island Party – Businesses who want their Names on the Shirts need to contact Dominick. 518-883-4881. This Year The Radio Station – The Bone will be broadcasting live from the Island Party.
