Friends of the High Lakes Meeting !EVERYONE GO! Jan. 4th
Body: Because the deadline for input to the draft plan by Lassen National
Forest on the uses of The High Lakes is January 15, 2008 we need to
inform the general public of the plan and what they need to do to be
able to give their input.

The draft is 10 pages, plus a time-line chart, it is in need of
explanation and interpretation and therefore a presentation is being
planned to do this.

We have the use of the Paradise Veterans Hall
6550 Skyway, Paradise;
Corner of Elliot and Skyway
6:30 - 9:30
JANUARY 4, 2008

Please plan on attending, and bring your family, neighbors, friends, and
anyone you can think might be interested in The High Lakes, whether they
be 4 wheelers, quad or motorcycle riders, fishermen, hikers, hunters,
photographers, campers, geocachers, or just love the area as we do.

Here are links to the draft plan and the time-line chart, for your prior

Friends of The High Lakes Steering Committee has met and identified and
prioritized at least 6 areas of the draft plan that need changes and
improvements. Please consider other changes, both problems and
solutions that are important to you, and bring that to the meeting.

We can arrange seating for up to 400, and will have a multimedia
presentation.

This is very important, so please join us in getting the word spread
