Dear Friends,

The meeting will feature a panel of experts who will detail what is known about this possible Harmful Algal Bloom, spell out the dangers, dispel any myths, inform lake users how to stay safe, lay out what is being done to address the problem and talk about ways to prevent future occurrences.
