Sad News for the IWA:
It
is with a heavy heart that we want to let everyone know that the
President and Founder of the IWA, Harry Hall lost his battle with
cancer and passed away on Tuesday February 10th, 2009.
Without Harry's guidance and vision to help create the IWA, what we
have today might not still be in existence. His love for the Indian
Head Dam, Perkiomen Creek and the surrounding area will never be
forgotten. We must all make sure to continue our fight to save this
pristine area now in his honor.
For those interested, here is a short video of Harry Hall as the President of the IWA.
Upcoming IWA Meeting:
There will be an
IWA meeting on Sunday March 22nd at 2pm. The meeting will be held at
453 Lower Idian Head Road. For those familar with the area it is across
the creek from the normal location. There are three things to be
covered at the meeting. Number 1, schedule a date for the Fishing Derby
and plan/create the committees to handle the aspects of the Derby.
Number 2, set a date for the pig roast if possible and consider
breaking down the pig roast into committees. Number 3 a message from
Tom Speers as the the future of our next President and where we go from
here. We hope to see you there.

Let there be Ice: Everyone
enjoyed the water this past summer - swimming, boating and fishing.
Because of the low temperatures these past two weeks, we have another
way of enjoying the Perkiomen.
After many checks for thickness, there were a lot of people on the ice
the past weekend. Some had on ice skates - make a future Olympic Figure
Skater or National Hockey League player! Some just had on boots or
sneaker. Then again, some enjoyed the sleds pulled behind a lawn
tractor!
There were plenty of falls and plenty of fun had by all who could stand
the cold. Some retired inside for hot chocolate wth red faces and sore
bottoms but will want to be back ou again tomorrow! Click here for links to
pictures of the Ice!
For those that just want to sign the
online Petition...
