Deep Creek Lake will have its 100th birthday in 2025, and we'll be celebrating all year long! The Deep Creek Lake Centennial(DCL100) Committee has been busy putting together events for every month of the year.  Here's a listing of what we've got in store:    https://dcl100.com/events/  

For more information on the events during the Centennial, https://dcl100.com or contact deepcreeklakepoa@gmail.com to learn more about sponsoring the celebration, volunteering or sharing photographs, memories or memorabilia.

One of the first projects we completed for the Centennial was having old Visitor's Guides digitized and archived online so people could search them to find old restaurants, stories and memories.  We've done a second batch of these, and now have a almost all of them online between now and 1955 (when the Mountaintop Business Promotion Council began and we think the fist Visitor's Guide was published)

Check out the collection here and be sure to share your favorite finds and memories!   https://archive.org/details/garrettcount...tionguides

A great way to examine history is through a timeline and we're putting one together for the lake! It has major events, people and places throughout the lake's history complete with descriptions, links for more information and pictures!  Check it out here and let us know if you have additions or corrections.  https://www.chronoflotimeline.com/timeli...reek-Lake/

Sky Valley Members;

Thanks go out to the 35 members who showed up for the annual fall cleanup and picnic lunch. We cleanup up several areas and gathered up over a dozen truckloads of dead branches and trees. Next cleanup will be in April 2025 date to be announced in the next newsletter. Our crew also worked with members to make it a very successful day!

I am sorry for any inconvience this may have caused.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS-Volunteers Needed

SKY VALLEY SEMI-ANNUAL FIREWISE CLEANUP DAY

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2024

Meet at 8:30AM at the Maint. Building
We will be doing cleanup of various green areas in Sky Valley to accumulate volunteer hours for another Grant. These efforts by members reduce fire potential as well as improve the appearance of Sky Valley.

We are planning to have a BBQ lunch at noon. Food contributions are welcome as usual. Volunteers are needed to help set up lunch. Please let either Rick Broadwater (301 387 7190) or Bob Sutton (301 387 4957) know if you would like to help with lunch.

This is a good chance to meet some neighbors and contribute to YOUR community. Over the years we have received over $80,000 from Firewise by putting in a little time ourselves every year. This is money we did not have to take from our budget. Volunteer hours for this effort also can count as community service days for school students who need to accumulate time.

Please put this on your calendar and plan on helping out. Bring gloves and wear old clothes – we will be dragging branches and brush to the trucks and trailers to take to the burn pile. Also doing work on the trees planted along SV Drive.
Any questions call Red at 301 387 7190 or Bob Sutton at 301 387 4957

Thanks – Sky Valley Board of Directors

Sky Valley Association, Inc. is proud to be one of the few official Firewise Communities in the State of Maryland

During the Fall General Meeting is became known that some owners were using www.skyvalleyhoa.com for their Sky Valley information.  That website was created by a Sky Valley Member who is now deceased.  As of 09/12/2024, the website www.skyvalleyhoa.com is shut down for lack of payment since 2018.

Our official website will continue to be www.SkyValleyDCL.com. 

Thank you for your support.
