Hi All,
I'm sending you this email for your general info on the status of the State's involvement with the ticks.
On another note it looks like we have a 2005 candidate for La Ding or Bad Day awards. I heard this morning that the lady who bought Dick and Melody's camp at the North End got her boat trashed over the weekend. Apparently she hired some guys to build her new log cabin. They had motor trouble on Friday and left it there. According to Kevin at Boat Headquarters it spent the weekend on the rocks and now has holes.

As you can see from Jon's email below my original email, it doesn't look
like we will be going to Butler Island on Wed. Hopefully, we will be
able to reschedule for a day in the near future.
