Happy New Year LWA members,

The Lake Wyola Association's Board of Directors recognizes the importance of participation in town of Shutesbury board meetings by Lake Wyola Association members. In order to keep you informed of upcoming opportunities to get involved we offer the following link to the town website. You can  access the town calendar by using this LINK . Most meetings are virtual and a link is provided so participation is easy. If there is an opinion that you would like to express but can't make a meeting, please consider submitting a letter by emailing a particular board directly. 


Board of Director OPENINGS August 2024

The Board of Directors currently has three openings on the BOD. If those three positions could be filled, we would have a full Board of fourteen directors and officers. We are very interested in having a director who is technologically adept.  If you have an interest in serving on the Board of Directors, please complete the attached application form and submit it to George Abdow whose email address is mitchgeo@aol.com.  Any questions may be addressed to George, the President of the LWA.  Thank you. 

The water at the LWA Beaches has tested clean this summer (2024).
In the event the water doesn't meet minimum standards, members will be notified, signage posted at beaches, and notifications posted on the town's website.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donna West, current vice-president and former President of the Association. She will be missed. No public services or celebration of life is planned per the family. https://www.curranjones.com/obituary/donna-west

One board member put it so well, "I loved her spirit, her devotion to the lake community, and I feel lucky to have gotten to know her and work with her on the Board. A great loss to all who loved her.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

*Massachusetts law still requires all vessels over 26 feet LOA to have a bell, in addition to a whistle or horn.

*Massachusetts requires a means of manual water discharge (bailer or pump)

*Massachusetts requires a boarding ladder, steps or platform if participating in any water sports (towing, skiing, tubing)

*Massachusetts requires an anchor, Chain & line

*Massachusetts requires boats less than 16 feet LOA to carry and oar or paddle
