5 The Harveys Lake Protec-
‘tive Association is once again
“appealing to borough resi-
“dents to contribute to the Is-
and maintenance Fund.
§ The organization asked for
“tontributions in 2004 to land-
cape and beautify the three
“traffic islands at the entrance
o the lake at a cost of $16,000.
¢ To pay for the project, the
goal of the association was to
aise $6,000 from private con-
receive $6,000

; restoring the islands after it
: ‘had dug them up and use
$4,000 from the HLPA treasu-
y.
| HLPA appeals to
residents for help
ceeded the $6,000 goal and
has been able to use the re-
maining amount to maintain
the islands for the past eight
years. The funds have been
used for weeding, mulching,
fall cleanup, spring cleanup,
light bulb replacement spray-
ing weed killer, planting of
four trees, daffodils, tulips
and replacing dead plants
when necessary.
Earlier this summer, the is-
lands received a major clea-
nup, mulching and additional
plants were added as needed.
That work cost several thou-
sand dollars and has depleted
the remaining funds, except
for a couple hundred dollars.
The Harveys Lake Protection Association is seeking donations from residents to maintain three islands at the entrance to the lake.
Harveys Lake Protective Association,
The Harveys Lake Protective Association maintains this sign
welcoming visitors to the borough as well as the island on which it

ed. Checks may be made paya-
ble to Harveys Lake Protec-
tive Association and mailed to
PO Box 435, Harveys Lake, PA

note on the check “Island
Maintenance Fund.”

beck are island maintenance
