We will send out further information on this and all other motions after the September Board meeting.

Hi,

I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Eganville an Area Community Development Group (EACDG) which started in the fall of 2016 with the goal of improving the area for all to enjoy.

One of our major projects is the new waterfront which we are well on our way to fund raising.

Many property owners on Lake Clear have either roots, memories or some sort of attachment to Eganville and as such maybe interested in being part of history as outlined in the attachment.

Might it be possible that this could be posted to the Lake Clear web site and face book page please for all to see?

Cheers,

Don Bishop

Lake Clear Song

Our family had a hand built cottage on the lake for decades. I wrote this song in 1990 and produced this song just a few years ago. Feel free to share and feedback is appreciated.
