Our Invitation To Join

The Lake Mishnock Preservation Association (LMPA), a nonprofit all-volunteer organization, was established in March 2005 in response to concerns by area residents about invasive weeds and the apparent deterioration of Lake Mishnock.

 

Over time the group expects to become a meaningful voice for the Lake Mishnock area and everyone who is concerned with maintaining a healthy lake, watershed, and habitat.  We have already established a website to keep people informed, and we expect to establish a newsletter in the near future. 

 

The public has been very generous with donations and support of our fundraiser to accomplish our initial objective, weed abatement. The first phase of a three-year lake treatment program is complete, but there remains much to do. Next year will require additional funds. Looking after the health of the lake is a long term commitment of time, money and ideas.

 

Up until now, LMPA has been operated by a Board of Directors and Officers, but we are eager to offer membership to anyone who supports the mission of the organization. We hope to become a sustained and meaningful voice for a healthy Lake Mishnock and surrounding watershed, but we need the help of many.  There is much to do.

 

Annual dues for membership are $25 per individual, or $35 per household. 

 

As a member you are entitled and encouraged to:

 

·        Attend the two membership meetings in March and October and vote on important issues

·        Share your specific concerns with LMPA

·        Serve as a volunteer on various projects

·        Participate as a committee member

·        Attend educational lectures about septic systems, watershed management, and other related topics. Become informed!

 

All who have contributed $100 or more, or who want to contribute $100 or more at this time, should apply for a complimentary membership. Please check the appropriate line on the application. We appreciate your generosity.

 

Annual dues or donations qualify as charitable contributions.
