DLA website post notification subscription

For Duane Lake Association members who were unable to attend the Annual Meeting and Picnic in June, the DLA discussed a new feature to notify you in near real time via email when a new post is added to the website.  This feature may be helpful for those who do not check the website regularly but want to be kept up to date.  Occasionally posts are added to the website which are not the routine email/newsletter.  Examples might be a suspicious wildlife sighting, a missing pet, or some sort of urgent message.

If you would like to subscribe and receive this email notification, please complete the form below.  This will allow the DLA webmaster to update your designated email into the messaging system.  Once posts are added to the website, within minutes you will receive an email with the contents of the post.

Please note: this will not generate any spam or unwanted advertising emails, and you can unsubscribe at any time.  If you attended the picnic you are already subscribed and need to do nothing, unless you would like to add an additional email address for notification.

Rowing Feast and Garage Sale Reminder

It's Back...The Annual Duane Lake Rowing Feast!

The 2025 Duane Lake Rowing Feast will be held on Saturday, August 9th starting at noon. Everyone is invited to join in, bring a dish to share, enjoy the water and just visit with your neighbors. The Rowing Feast is basically a progressive lunch by way of sailing, rowing, kayaking, walking or driving from one host location on the lake to the next for each course.

The day starts off with refreshments and a meet & greet, then we shift over for appetizers, next is your salad course, followed by the main course and finally a dessert stop. Each stop is hosted by one of your neighbors who will provide one or two refreshments and everyone is requested to contribute a dish to supplement one of the courses. Please call our party planner Kim Roberts to let him know of your planned dish as he will coordinate the day and make sure there are sufficient munchies at each host stop. Kim's number is 518-522-6811.

Since this was quite fun and successful last year - for those that would like to participate, a 50/50 poker row game. It will work like this: each entry will pay $20; the player will pick a card at each stop and at the end of the afternoon, whoever has the best hand will win the 50/50 pot with the winner taking home 50% of the funds and the remaining 50% donated to the Lake Association.

Your hosts for this year's Rowing Feast are as follows:

#1 Sue & Bob Bollentin, 604 Duane Lake Rd 

12:00 Refreshments / Meet & Greet and 1st card dealt to poker row participants
