Proposed Georgetown Shores Triathlon

The Association has also been approached by the promoters of the Grand Rapids Triathlon requesting to have Georgetown Shores host an Olympic and a Sprint distance race using both East GS and West GS lakes on the morning of Saturday, July 28th.

The event would be based just north of the boat launch parking lot and they would take care of all insurance planning and administration. They are asking some residents to step forward to volunteer to man aid stations or other tasks. They are also proposing the placement of a tent for the event along with some family friendly fun activities at the site. (moon walk and other family fun). We are looking into having a Community wide cook out for the afternoon and evening of the 28th. We are looking for some residents who are willing to help for the Triathlon (In the morning) and also some residents who would like to help plan the Residents Cook Out (for the afternoon). Please contact us if you are interested in helping.

More information will be forthcoming via this web site and e-mail, and the promoters will be joining us at our meeting on April 14th to discuss their events and address questions.

Water Treatment 2012

In the summer of 2011 the weed growth in the lake reached a new level of saturation. We have talked to PLM and gotten a proposal for how they would approach the issue in 2012. We have also gotten a proposal from another provider. The other provider is Aquatic Doctors and the proposal from them was financially beneficial based on the product applied as well as we liked the proposal of how they would support our treatment and work with our local representative to ensure better results. We have talked to a number of other lakes in the area who use them and they are very happy with their results.

This will be for the lake and the pond areas but the treatment method will be very similar for us residents. Some of the treatments will have restrictions for contact and those restrictions will be posted along the shoreline as well as sent out to the residents.
