The fireworks that have been held annually around the July 4th holiday for many years will again happen, this year on the evening of Tuesday July 3, beginning around 9 p.m., or whenever it is sufficiently dark.  The fireworks will again be shot from The Point at Glenville Lake and will be viewable from on the lake as well as the eastern shore along Highway 107 and have again been facilitated by StuartHall and the Glenville Navy.
As in recent years, the primary funding of the fireworks has come from The Friends of Lake Glenville, Trillium, Signal Ridge Marina, The Pointe at Glenville Lake HOA, and a small number of private donors.
This year’s fireworks may be a bit grander than in recent years, but the limited sources of funding and the uncertainty of who will donate each year remain a problem and hold back enhancing the shoot and even securing a fireworks vendor and a date for the shoot.  The “July 4th” fireworks are a community event and needs community support. If a homeowners association business or community group wishes to help with the fireworks, please contact the Friends of Lake Glenville at flg@friendsoflakeglenville.com or leave a message at 828-743-9494.

The winter weather around Lake Glenville is surprisingly warm, with the lake level two feet above the target level as this is written on Tuesday February 7th, 2012.  Please keep an eye out for your 2012 dues reminder, being sent out both by email and the USPS.  The Member Breakfast schedule has been determined, so put these dates on your calendar now…

Saturday May 19 @ Tamburini’s

Saturday June 16 @ Cornucopia

Saturday August 25 @ Trillium (also the Annual Meeting)

Saturday September 15 @ Mountaintop Lake Club

The Summer Social is tentatively scheduled for Saturday July 28 at a venue to be determined.  An August event on the Village Green may also be scheduled.

The last Member Breakfast of the 2011 season will be held Saturday September 10th 2011 8:30am at the Mountaintop Lake Club on Fenley Forest Trail.  This will be the last chance of this season to see all your lake friends and neighbors in one place.  There is a $12 per person charge.  Please RSVP to flg@friendsoflakeglenville or call Ed Mohler at 743-3796.

Our speaker at the breakfast will be Jane Ebberts, making a return visit after her impromptu talk to us in May.  She is Co-owner and Broker-in-charge at Landmark Realty Group and will give us a review of the summer’s real estate activity and maybe a look in her crystal ball at the future.

The staff of the Mountaintop Lake Club was said to have provided the best breakfast of the 2010 season, all the more reason to join us for this 2011 finale.
