Hopefully most lake folks have heard by now.  The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will conduct a Public Hearing tomorrow, Wednesday, July 17, at the Betty Carol Graham Center at CACC Junior College in Alexander City, AL.  The meeting will be conducted by FERC personnel from 6:30 PM till 9:30 PM.

If you want the lake to have a chance of having higher water levels in the winter and a six week extension of the summer pool levels, it is imperative that you attend this meeting and support the efforts of Alabama Power to achieve this goal.  FERC initially turned down the request of APCo, but now is the opportunity for lake stakeholders to show their support.  Surely you can give one evening to improve your lake.  We need a standing room only crowd to show both our support for the request and our unity as a lake community.  You can speak if you desire, or just support those who do, but please attend.  There will be a sign-in desk at the entrance--be sure to sign-in and let them know if you want to speak.
