of Secretary-Treasurer and three board members are also up for election. Bruce
Shultis is not running for Vice-President again, however he would like to fill one
of the board member seats. Pete Paffenroth, who is a current board member would
like to run for Vice-President. The board members up for re-election are Ann
Bennett, Vince Stayter and Dave Pickup. All agreed to run again. Art will leave
the nominations open for 15 to 20 more minutes.

Bruce mentioned that the town has still not given us a permit for the fireworks.
He doesn't know what the problem is. The firework company has checked out the
site and all is well on that end. The fireworks will go off on August 18th.

Art mentioned that the Centennial Booklets are out and turned out really well.
They are available prior to August 18th for $12.50. After August 18th they will be
$15.00. We have sold about 100 copies already. Thanks again to Vince for all of
his hard work on the book. Vince picked up the slack after the death of Mike
Breen, who helped get the book off the ground.

Art started to thank everyone for all the work that has been done all year. We
started out with a presentation on the Eagles, went on to develop a wonderful wed-
site, gathered info and pictures from many families. Thank you for sharing
everything.

Wednesday afternoon will be the tent set-up. Anyone that can lend a hand would
be helpful. The parking area will be marked off, as well as the vendor area. Dave
Pickup will be running the electric on Friday AM, and a large generator will be set
up as well. Dave Pickup asked for volunteers to help run the games for the kids.

It was noted that Senator Seward is keeping up his promise to help GLA get all the
funding available is keep our lake clean. There is a grant to help eradicate the
water chestnuts. It is being pursued.

Vince Stayter reminded everyone that the GLA is trying to also be a bigger
presence in the Town of Milford. Several people are attending the Town Meetings
and the Planning Board Meetings every month to stay up to date on what is going
on. There has been a proposal to amend our current "junk law". We would like to
be more in tune with the village of Milford laws. They are more strict as far as
junk cars and appliances allowed on a property. Reminder that Eric Miller of
OCCA will have a booth at the centennial educating people on the ecology of the
lake and especially the water chestnuts.

Art introduced Ken and Kristin Sanford. Ken is on the Milford School Board. He
is also President of the Milford Youth Baseball Organization. They are donating
the PA system for the centennial celebration. Thank you.

Art reminded everyone that Saturday, September 29th is the highway clean-up day.
Meet at Wightman Lumber at 9AM.

A member questioned who was responsible for removal of fallen trees in the river
and lake. GLA has contacted DEC regarding this and found, if it is a natural
occurrence, nothing is done. The owner of the property should remove it, but not
required to do so. Of course, no one can willingly fell a tree into the water. Ann
Loitsch reminded everyone that the expense of having a large tree removed from
the water, could be an obstacle for some people. Vince volunteered to call the
DEC to clarify some of the questions that were brought up during the discussion
of trees, shorelines and permits required. He will post information on the web-
site. Vince also told everyone that the Goodyear Lake Association has been on the
Clean Water Act recipient list since 1986. We have never made it to the top of the
list. We are hopeful that our representative Kristin Gillenbrand stays on top of this
for us. Money would be allocated for dredging and invasive plants. ENEL, the
owners of the dam, are also concerned with the ecology of the lake. We can keep
them involved, and maybe many voices will have a positive outcome.

A member suggested that perhaps in the fall, we could get together with a
representative from the DEC, the upper Susquehanna River Grant, etc. and be able
to have questions answered. She also suggested people emailing representatives
instead of writing or calling. Response time is much better. Art said he will look
into an open forum, but probably not until spring.

Art asked if there were any further nominations. There were none. He then asked
the Secretary-Treasurer to cast one ballot to accept the nominations as they stand.
All in favor. Pete Paffenroth is the new Vice-President, which is a 2-year term.
Ann Bennett, Dave Pickup and Vince Stayter are board members with terms
ending in 2010, and Bruce Shultis will fill the remainder of Pete Paffenroths term
expiring in 2009. Susan Stalter was elected to a one year term of Secretary-
Treasurer.

There was a raffle of the framed map. Anna Snyder won the map. There was
$85.00 in donations.

There was a motion to adjourn by Susan Stalter. It was seconded by Matt Blake.
All in favor. Meeting adjourned at 11:12AM.

Respectfully submitted,
Susan Stalter, Secretary-Treasurer
