Dear Diamond Lake Residents:

Our new inspection/boat wash program is called CLEAN BOATS CLEAN WATERS. You can read all about it in the newsletter. Volunteers will be wearing special shirts, hats, jackets, there will be chairs and umbrella with our program title. We have sponsors for all items already except the jackets. We are expecting to purchase 50 @ approximately $35 each, totaling $1,750 plus tax. If you or someone you know would like to put your business logo on these jackets also, we would accept you as our jacket sponsor for that amount. We could divide that amount in half at 25 jackets for $875 with your business logo. That would be the least we could do for jacket sponsorship with logo. If you are just a generous person and wish to donate any amount of money for the purchase of jackets for volunteer inspectors, that would be great also, no logo included, just DLIA, CLEAN BOATS CLEAN WATERS. If you will sponsor jackets, please contact any Board member for further details. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Letter to Senator Morton

pointer

 

Dear Senator Morton:

We certainly appreciate your guidance in the past and respectfully request your help on yet another Diamond Lake issue. Attached hereto is a letter that Diamond Lake Improvement Association (DLIA) sent to our County and immediate State officials last year regarding our high water level. We have been to Town Hall Meetings, County Commissioners meetings, invited County officials to our meetings and literally begged for assistance and advice regarding our high water level. We have received very little.

Diamond Lake

is one of many natural lakes of northeastern Washington.

It lies in the southern part of Pend Oreille County,

about 7 miles southwest of Newport.

Diamond Lake appears to have been formed by a dam

of sand and gravel washed out from a glacier,

blocking the valley in which the lake is now found.
