The barge will  be closed Wednesday August 17 from 9 AM to 1 PM for emergency maintenance. Our apologies for any inconvenience.

The Annual meeting is Saturday August 20, 10 AM at Koranda's, # 7.

Here's a copy of the most recent Water plan for the island from the engineers.

Remaining garbage pickups are on Monday, every Monday from Memorial Day to Labor Day (Monday holidays - Memorial, Independence, and Labor days will bump pickup to Tuesday that week), September 19, October 3, 17 and 31. Remember if you want to recycle on the island - Mike Maloney - cottage # 4) has recycle bags that conveniently list exactly what can go in them!

Jack Orr (#15) has started a project gathering the history of Diamond Island. He’s asked members to fill out this questionnaire; if you wish to complete it you can return it to a board member, e-mail it to Jack or get it to him directly come summer.

The American Legion post 335, received a gracious thank you from the commander of the 626th Brigade Support Battalion for the donations sent by the post from your generous donations.

Can't remember what time you can legally ride your PWC? Curious about other Michigan Boating Laws?

  users: there is both a Diamond Lake Michigan and a Diamond Island Michigan group on facebook - neither are affiliated with their respective associations, but both are fun!

The folks running and in charge of running the barge are asking that we remind members:

• The barge operators are instructed NOT to return to the landing after leaving the landing. It doesn't matter if the barge is 10 feet or 10 inches from shore! DO NOT honk your horn to get the operators attention. Please be considerate of your neighbors on the island and the mainland.
• Please remember to turn off your lights when boarding the barge. Your vehicle's lights blind the operators.
• If you are the first car in line on the island side, you may need to pull up past the "Stop here for ferry" sign in order for the operator to see you. The sign was placed there to allow vehicles to exit the barge and have room around the sewer pumping station behind the shed. If you pull up far enough you will not be in the way of exiting vehicles. This only applies to the first (or only) car in line.

Don't forget! we have a Classified page on this website -- available to members who would like to post items for sale, services available and announcements. Content is posted at the discretion of the board, pictures may be included in jpeg format. Send any requested posting to diamondislandcassmi@gmail.com.
