I have the report. It puts together reports from the separate meetings for each lake. The people who started this planning (Phillip Ellis and Scott Jackson) have left their jobs. New people are carrying on. I hope everyone who cares about our dune lakes and the Choctawhatchee Basin watershed shows up at the meeting to help plan our future.

The meeting is tomorrow, for the public, from 1-3 at the Library. Let's help manage what happens to our lakes. Looking forward to seeing you there!
