For all the folks taking pot shots at the HOBOS, I have one question for you. How many of you have spent hours upon hours:
- Attending the Lake Martin Dam Relicensing Meetings fighting for the rights of all lake stakeholders for the next 30 to 50 years with APCo?
- Attended the recent Annual State of Our Watershed Conference to discuss Lake Martin gaining Outstanding Water Quality Certification and what needs to be accomplished to obtain such certification?
- Attend the Lake Martin HOBOS Annual meeting at the end of March to see what the organizations focus was going to be for 2008?
- Helped organize and support the upcoming Annual renew Our Rivers clean up on Lake Martin?
- Organized and revamped the Christmas Tree recycling efforts to build fish habitats. Which APCo had abandoned back in 2002 for lack of support?
- Attended Council Meetings, Chamber of Commerce Meetings and the like to ensure the best interest of Lake Martin was always at the forefront?
- Met with County Commissioners regarding our concerns on shoreline developments?
And I would bet you the vast majority of you have never attended a board meeting or attended any ofmany of the events mentioned above.
So how can you sit here and make accusation about the HOBOs if you have never attended a meeting or been involved with any of these matters.
Are we all perfect NO and I will be the first to admit such, as I am man enough to do so. But what I can say is that the HOBO Board does care about the future of Lake Martin, that is why we spend hundreds of hours per month working with state, local, APCo and other organizations trying to preserve Lake Martin for Future Generations.
In closing, in case you are interested and want to see my viewpoint on the boat ban feel free to do a search on the topic Boat Ban Editorial as my position was and is still such. Again that is my personal position and I do not speak for the HOBOs as a group as each person is entitled to their own opinion.
So instead of bitching and complaining about this that and the other, join the HOBOs so that your voice can be heard in the future. As without becoming actively involved in the future of Lake Martin there is no telling what the future might hold and you might be correct the Boat Ban might be just the beginning.
Just my personal 2 cents on the matter as a lover of Lake Martin and its future.
PS - The minutes of every Board Meeting, the Bylaws and every letter ever written by the HOBOs are posted on our website as we are a transparent organization and have no hidden agendas so feel free to go to the website and read some of the info, as you might find some interesting facts out.
