As a non-profit organization, the Lime Lake Association operates based on your tax-deductible donations and membership dues. All moneys go toward our mission of stewarding the purity and beauty of Lime Lake. How do we do that?
First and foremost, we have a contract with a Lake Biologist, Kelsey Froelich. Much effort goes toward comprehensive water quality testing, remediation of invasive species, education, preservation of our shorelines, free greenbelt consultations and more.
We also hold a yearly meeting for all members and community members the last weekend in July where we report on all the year's activities, findings, and opportunities. There's time for socializing over snacks and drinks and interesting educational content provided by Kelsey. It's a wonderful way to meet your neighbors and the association board, and see first-hand the efforts that go into the care of our lake.
While we offer several membership tiers beginning at $50 up to $1000, we're asking that all riparians consider a minimum yearly donation of $250. This amount breaks down to approximately 20 dollars per month to keep our lake the haven and inspiration that it is. Your generous and tax-deductible annual donation of $250 will allow us to maintain our current programs with diligence, increase our outreach through more education and community offerings, and be ready should an invasive species like Eurasian Milfoil become detected in our waters. Larger lakes in our area, where the invasive has taken hold, spend up to $100,000 per year on this problem alone.
Do you have to live on Lime Lake to be a member? While many of our members are riparians, you do not have to be one to join our association. If you love Lime Lake, benefit from it being healthy, and want to take part in protecting and preserving it, make a donation of any amount today and join us at our annual meeting.
