The East Marion Fire Dept is holding their Annual Breakfast fund raiser on Sunday, April 5th at the firehouse from 8 am until 1 pm. Every year a 50-50 raffle is held and this year all proceeds will be donated to the Marion Lake Restoration Committee, along with an additional $200 donation, approved at the last planning meeting. We have Joe Vandernoth to thank for the effort. Thanks Joe! A complete breakfast will be served up and we're hoping for a big turnout. Last year more than several hundred people attended.
Contact Walter Gaipa if you would like to purchase breakfast or 50/50 tickets.
$10 for adults and $6 for children. Takeouts are available.

Letter Writing Campaign
We got some disturbing news this past week. After getting approval for a $60,000 grant to enable us to continue with the wonderful work on the lake we were told that the state had put a freeze on the money. The DEC informed us that they were not clear for how long the freeze would be in effect and suggested a letter writing campaign to our politicians. We need the government to know how important this money is to us for the continued progress on restoring our lake. You can download a list of politicians to write to as well as a sample letter here. Please start sending letters as soon as possible so we hopefully can get someone's attention.

Pharewell Phragmite
It's finally happening! Marion Lake is being cut and cleared as you read this. The entire west side has been cut and the east side is looking great. Almost all of Rabbit Lane has been cleared as of Wednesday evening and the bridge area and parts of Lakeview Terrace hope to be completed by Friday. They will be back in the spring for a trim and wicking. We're making great progress and continue to need your help if you can please contribute! See additional photos of the project in the Project Photo Gallery.
