Tip Jar for USL
The Upper Saranac Foundation lists donors in their newsletter and has a category for camp donations. This has motivated me to create a tip jar for the lake which will be politely pointed out to all houseguests. If you have many visitors you might consider doing the same – ‘every little helps!’

Offended by notice we are unwelcome
Last night the USLA sent an email implying that seasonal residents are not welcome in the Adks this year. I have printed it out to enclose with my next huge check for Adk property taxes. I call on the USLA to explain just how and from whom they obtained this notice and why they sent it out without comment of the board of USLA.
