Water Chestnut Removal
Please volunteer a few hours of your time to this very important issue.
Meet at the mouth of the Kaydeross Creek at 9:30 a.m. with your kayaks,
canoes, any small craft, and help pull in these lake invaders.
Please e-mail your name and phone number to ejdweck@gmail.com by
Monday, July 29. SLPID will provide lunch at a local restaurant.
From resident Alan Richer . . . . “because of the proximity of the water chestnut pull to the
Water's Edge HOA boat launch, I requested one time permission from the Water's Edge
Homeowners Board of Directors to launch boats at our launch for the water chestnut pull. It
will be okay for volunteers to put their boats in at our regular boat launch. This permission
does not extend to the kayak boat launch since it is not quite as durable. Volunteers would
have to park on Kaydeross Park Road and wheel or carry their craft to the boat launch.”

This event is the first part of a three-part series entitled
"Rural Soul Drumming and Movement". The Stillwater
Free Library is proud to have been awarded a 2013 Saratoga
Arts Council Project Grant to be able to offer this
multi-generational arts and culture exploratory workshop
set in the great outdoors! Families are offered the chance
to discover music and dance from West Africa (May at
the community center), Ireland (July at the battlefield),
and India (September at the blockhouse park).
This series of events is funded by a grant from Stewart's
Shops Holiday Match program and by the Saratoga
Program for Arts Funding, which is made possible by the
New York State Council on the Arts with the support of
Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature
and are administered by Saratoga Arts.
Free event - RSVP so we have enough supplies!
