We meet April – October , either via Zoom (hybrid) and/or at the location posted on the main page, with our general meeting beginning at 7p.m. We use these "open" meetings as a forum for people to come and express their concerns about the lake, ask questions about what is being done to improve the lake, and receive information about what they, and others, can do to help. We invite anyone and everyone interested in the well being of Lake Congamond to stop by and see what’s going on. Hope to see you there. Come get involved. |
