Dear Panther Pond Association Members and Stakeholders,
Invitation: PPA Annual Meeting – Saturday, August 13th
It’s that time of year again. Thank you for all that attended last year’s meeting at
King’s Grant. You are cordially invited to the PPA’s Annual Meeting to be held this
year at Camp Hinds Dining Hall on Saturday, August 13, at 12:30 pm. PPA will be
supplying sandwiches and refreshments at 12:30, please bring your favorite salad or
dessert to share as well. This will give us some time to register, pay for membership,
order shirts/hats and socialize. We will start the meeting at 1:15pm. Our agenda
will include officers’ reports (reviewing and voting on the treasurer’s report), Loon
Count, Hazard Markers, Ppippers report and an update on the Mill St. Dam project.
We will be announcing the results for the officers election this year (members-
please vote). Our Nominees are: Bob Harmon – President, Pete Leitner – VP,
Loren Marie Durr – Secretary, Linda Howard – Treasurer, The Environmental
Officer position will remain vacant at this time with the position’s duties conducted
by multiple volunteers.
The focus of the meeting will be the 20 th Anniversary of Panther Pond Association,
its history, founding father/mothers, and past accomplishments. The history of the
pond and the children’s camps (Timanous, Hawthorne (Slovenski), Hinds, Kingsley
Pines (Amherst Music Camp). If you would like to share history or pictures for the
slideshow with the association, please send info to:
secretary@pantherpondassociation.org. We will also be open to sharing at the end
of the meeting if time allows.
Summer Jobs: There is a need for CBI’s (Courtesy Boat Inspectors) on Panther
Pond, the pay is $18/hr. This is a perfect job for college/high school students or
retirees, and a crucial part of keeping invasive plants out of our local lakes. If
interested, send inquiries to: president@pantherpondassociation.org.
