July 4, 2009 CLA Annual Meeting at 10AM.
March 16, 2009 Judge Issues Owosso Street opinion
Feb 27, 2009 Board Members Chris Mason, Rena Ray, Mike Dyer, Jerry
Stone, Bill Tomlin and Steve Meinhardt attended the hearing on the Owosso
Street road end in Stanton District Court on 2/23/09.
While the CLA is not in any way a part of or involved in this
lawsuit, we feel it necessary to provide information and to help where we
can as this issue has the potential to affect our members who are both
lakefront owners and backlot owners. Then CLA President and Attorney Chris
Mason spoke on behalf of the CLA and was received very positively. Stay
tuned for future information on this issue.
