CLARK/BISBEE REUNION~JUNE 23, 2007

SECRETARY MINUTES

Saturday, June 23, 2007 was a most beautiful, sunshiny day—just a perfect setting for the 21st annual reunion of the Clark/Bisbee Family.
.
There were 26 present, adults and children. A low number, to be sure, but those who attended had a wonderful time –good food, fellowship and relaxation, enjoyed by all.
.
The noon meal featured a good variety of delicious home cooked dishes, shared and enjoyed.
.
In mid afternoon a brief business meeting was held to discuss the need of a new treasurer. Chuck McConnell needs to step down from his office due to illness. We are so very grateful for your long and good service these past several years, Chuck. And, we all wish you the best as you have those treatments in the coming months. And may we add, prayers too. Also, remember John Clark and Cindy, as they are going through a tough time too, with his cancer. You both are very important to us.
.
Bill McConnell volunteered to be Treasurer for the coming year, (thank you, Bill.) and Pat Shields will be Secretary. A vote of confidence was given by all present.
.
There was a balance of $304. 00 in the treasury to date.
.
Later an auction yielded $37.00. Donation: Jim Clark, $13.25; Donation: Brenda Manry, $5.00, for a total of $55.25 received. Meat, and charcoal were donated by Trevor and Adrienne Smith. Cold cuts, cheese and buns were also donated by Donna and Jeff Johnston. Chicken was bought by Bill McConnell. Thank you all!
.
An afternoon of fun and relaxation (including the thrill of watching a bald eagle flying over the the dam.) Some rented a boat, some played ball, and others swapped stories while sitting in the glorious shade, and of course, there was swimming, too.
.
Dinner (finishing the leftovers) was served at 5 pm. And shortly thereafter, the inevitable good-byes were said, with good wishes shared for the coming year and the promise to return on June 28th, 2008 to the Little Pine Dam, Waterville. Pa.

DCNR lowering lake level at Little Pine State Park

A gradual, complete drawdown of the 94_acre lake at Little Pine State Park in Lycoming County is expected to begin July 5.

.
This drawdown will enable DCNR officials to complete removal of accumulated debris from around the lake outlet tower and upstream dam embankment. Lowering of the lake also will facilitate construction of a permanent maintenance access road along the existing upstream dam embankment to aid in future debris removal.

.
“DCNR is firmly committed to minimizing the scope of the work while limiting the effect on our valuable natural resources,” said Bureau of State Parks Director Roger Fickes. “These major projects must be undertaken, and they are timed to minimize the impact to Little Pine’s many visitors. The timing for this project is very critical and is scheduled to be accomplished during the period of minimal stream flows.

.
“DCNR is well aware of the tremendous recreational and economic value this state park brings to the Lycoming County area and is fully committed to restoring the lake to its original condition as soon as possible.”

.
Built in 1950 by Lycoming Construction Company in Williamsport, the dam primarily was designed for flood control especially along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River between Jersey Shore and Milton. The dam and its impoundment also provide numerous recreational activities for visitors to Little Pine State Park.

.
This complete drawdown will affect swimming, boating and fishing while the lake level is down. Camping, picnicking and other day-use activities will not be affected. The project is expected to be completed, with the lake level returned to normal, by Oct. 31. At that time, the lake level will permit resumption of normal recreational activities.

.
Little Pine State Park is a multi-use park with overnight facilities and year-round recreational activities. The park’s 2,158 acres also offer modern camping, picnicking, hiking, fishing, hunting, Environmental education and interpretation programs, shooting ranges and wildlife watching and winter activities.

.
For more information on Little State Park and Pennsylvania’s other 116 state parks, call 1-888-PA-PARKS between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday; or visit www.dcnr.state.pa.us (select “State Parks”).
