DNR burning permits
When you want to burn you will have to call the Burning Permit Hotline at 888-947-2876 or check the
DNR website at www.dnr.wi.gov, search forest fire and check “burning permit restrictions” after 11am on
the day you want to burn. It is your responsibility to know the burning laws that apply at your location.
Contact the DNR call center 888-936-7463 if you have additional questions about burning or the
alternatives to burning.

Pearl Lake Flag

Anyone interested in a Pearl Lake Flag is to contact Jeff Swenson, 414-803-5231 or
lindy.swen@gmail.com These are three colored screen printed flags. If Jeff has 20 people interested in a
flag, the price would be approximately $40 per flag. Jeff will have 25 Pearl Lake Flags available to
purchase at the May meeting. Bring your money.

PEARL LAKE PROPERTY OWNERS DIRECTORY

As presented at the August 2014 Association meeting, a Directory of Property Owners on and around
Pearl Lake is planned to be available to members of the Association at our July 2015 meeting. Thus far,
only about one half of the owners have informed me of their updated/correct information. Please contact
Tammy Chier at 920-566-0526 and/or tchier@centurytel.net with your home address, lake address, home
and lake phone number/s and email address before June 1, 2015. The main reason for reproducing this
information is to help property owners with Neighborhood Watch.
 LETS HAVE FUN
Boat Hook-up---This event is scheduled for the Third and Fifth Saturday of the Month for anyone
interested in tying boats up in the middle of the lake after wake hours to encourage camaraderie amongst
property owners and get kids involved. Dates for 2015 will be May 16th, May 30th, June 20th, July 18th,
Aug. 15th, Aug. 29th, Sept. 19th. There is nothing formal to this. No ring leaders, no agenda, no time
limit, no phones. Bring your boats, canoes, kayaks, rafts, safety and flotation devices, bumpers, guitars,
banjos, harmonicas, food and drink and join in on the FUN. There is also nothing to say that this cannot
happen EVERY SATURDAY.

Please For Your Safety

Summer will be here eventually and with the season comes more lake road traffic. When walking the road
around the lake or on any road with out a pedestrian walkway the safest place to walk is on the left hand
side of the roadway facing oncoming traffic. This way you can see oncoming cars and will be able to
determine if the driver sees you by his actions. Have a safe walk/run/jog on the nearly 3 mile trip around
our beautiful lake.
