Beaver Lake Cleanup September 26,2009

[Eric Esche]

I talked with Alan Bland with the Corps of Engineers office in Rogers the other day when I stopped by to get a copy of the Aquatrail location points and he asked me to let the ACC know about this year's clean up on Beaver lake with a handout. Here it is, as closely as I can type it.

I'm interested in helping out, Eric. May take mom and mohawk. if not, can I borrow a perception for the event? If I still had my old flat-bottom, i'd motor out to clean up.
PM, Email, or call, you know how to get aholdt of me.

Eric, I am going to forward this info on to our fly fishing club. A bunch of us have boats and we havent done anything besides fish, as a group, in a little bit. Need to speak with Mr Bland about the mono recycling stations as well.
