Blake Lakes Fans
What better place to publicize the existence of a Facebook group called Blake Lakes Fans?
While some people live along the shores of one of the Blake Lakes, most of the community is spread out widely over the landscape of Minnesota and Wisconsin and the Caribbean (in the case of my lake neighbors) for much of the year. Even during the summer, staying in touch with neighbors is not easy.
This group can be a way to stay up-to-date on people, events, developments, and local "government" around the Blake Lakes.
The group is online at http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=49119014104
You have to sign up with Facebook to join the group, but you don't have to give them anymore information, besides your e-mail address, than you're comfortable making public. (I am especially reluctant to give Facebook access to my address book, which is one of the things it urges you to do.) After signing up with some name and your e-mail address, you can create whatever identity you want.
After all, do you know who Little Blake Lake, his sister Jenny, and their uncle Big Blake are?
If you know some Blake Lake residents who ought to join the Facebook group, let them know about the opportunity.
Join the party and help everyone stay in touch with what's going on "up at the lake."
