is updated with the info we have as of right this moment! We usually get
changes and or corrections published in the online directory within a week of
receiving it. Don't forget, e-mail costs us nada, if you want to add your

entities to our e-mail list, drop us a note.
 Bill
Stokman (# 113)
has
several 11x17” color prints of the plat map he and his kids put together
over the winter. They added a title and a blue depth/bathymetric map. They
have about 50 copies left. First come, first serve. Stop by cottage 113 on the
island (with five orange buoys out front) on the east point. Introduce
yourself to Bill, and/or his wife, Carolyn. His kids can get you a copy. Just
a fun project, no charge. (click image to enlarge)
