Secretary
Sharon Kelley
When we heard of his decision to step down from his post as the President of the Salem Lakes Preservation Association, we knew we had to do something special. Not just for Roger Cartee, but also for his wife Janet who will also be resigning as treasurer. And then we heard he was going to be away to keep his promise to attend his grandson's baseball playoff series. So we took some time to put him in front of the camera and reflect on his years at the helm of our group (above) and then we threw in a little surprise (below).

ROGER'S REFLECTIONS...
Founded in 1984, the Salem Lakes Preservation Association oversees environmental conservation efforts and activities affecting the greater Salem Lakes area. The organization directs the monitor/greeter program at the boat access. The foremost objective, of necessity, is the prevention and/or containment of Eurasian Water Milfoil and other aquatic nuisances because of the ever increasing number of lake invasions in Vermont according to the Agency of Natural Resources. The Invasive Species Prevention Program is paid for in part with support from members of our community, Derby voters and the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
The Salem Lakes Preservation Association will receive funding in the form of an Aquatic Nuisance Control (ANC) grant from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). This grant will help fund the association's greeter and milfoil management programs at Salem. The final amount of the grant will be determined in th fall, after the agency has finished its review of the SLPA project proposals.
