Boat Licenses–Ages 12-17

Get your kids and grand kids ready for the summer season:

 

Children between the ages of 12 to 17 are required to take an at-home or on-line study course in order to operate a watercraft above 25 horsepower.  This includes most Jet skis.  See details in manual for Jet Skis, rules change yearly.

 

Take the boating study and test on-line.

 

Online fee is $22.50 and you will receive an instant temporary boating license at www.boat-ed.com/mn  your card will be mailed to you.

 

For Hard copies of the study and test visit the DNR office at Dunton Locks Lake Sallie during Business Hours. Allow 2 to 3 weeks delivery of License.

Welcome back–Tram is OPEN!

Cabin owners are slowly filtering back, the ice is out on the lakes, and Hotel Shoreham is open and serving our favorites.  Now is a good time to pay those LMSA dues if you have not already.  The association has been hard at work all winter, and because of that effort the Tram will be OPEN this summer.  Our dues will help fund the day to day operation so please consider sending in your dues ASAP.  See you on the lakes!

Association Building Closed

Melissa Sallie Office Closing: Last week’s sale was wildly successful and our inventory is depleted. Therefore, the Office will not be open for the rest of the summer. Next year we will have all new and updated inventory. Those who have not yet paid their dues can deliver the check to Jim Bond or mail it to Mel/Sal Association, PO Box 1003, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501

Head Beach Captain Information

 

NEW HEAD BEACH CAPTAINS FOR MELISSA AND SALLIE

In an effort to enhance communication on important issues to the Association with our Beach Captains we have decided to designate Head Beach Captains for each of our beautiful lakes. These Head Beach Captains will work closely with our Vice President, Susan Roberts, on Beach Captain responsibilities to include important Association communications, membership growth, and critical Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) issues, among others. The new Head Beach Captains for Melissa will be Carole and Paul Schornack, long time members and residents on Dakotah Beach. The Head Beach Captains for Sallie will be Kathy and Rick Michaelson, well known in the Detroit Lakes area and residents on McDonough Beach. We are very fortunate to have these great volunteers agree to accept these new positions, and all of us look forward to working with them to increase the effectiveness of our Association.

Warm Regards,
Mike Becraft
President
Lakes Melissa and Sallie Association
