Over 60 boats, kayaks and canoes full of folks celebrated the 4th of July with our lake community at the boat house of Shay and Phyllis.  Soloist Lily Mamminga, a 5th generation Spider Laker, who along with her family, "The Mamminga Band" bestowed their gifts of music on all.  Lily's Uncle Bob played "Taps" in honor of those who passed during the year.  

Commodore Jerry Keating welcomed everyone and thanked SCLA volunteers for their work, especially in controlling invasive species like Yellow Flag Iris and Eurasian Watermilfoil.  He led us in a moment of silence for all who passed on in the past year, including three SCLA members and volunteers:  Loren Pilling, Michael O'Sullivan, and Georgina Frankel. 

Many Thanks to Shay Berkowitz and Phyllis Wiener for hosting, and to all volunteers who helped organize the boat parade!
