Moen Lake Chain Association www.moenlakechain.org or like us on Facebook Thank you to our volunteers! One of the primary activities of the MLCA is the Clean Boats Clean Waters Program. This program monitors the boats entering and leaving at the Moen Lake landing. It is the associations’ responsibility to provide a minimum of 200 hours volunteer time. A very special thank you to those who voluntered for CBCW in 2021: Jean Blank, Jeff Seifert, Keith Kelling, Kris Krause, Steve Hart, Dan Groleau, Roberta Gasper Also, a big thank you to our volunteer channel marker crew who put in the markers every spring and remove then in the fall: Don Broadbridge, Tim Grove and Rocky Gust Letter from the MLCA President, Nancy Sattler Greetings! I am honored to be writing this to you in my new role as President of the Moen Lake Chain Association. Over the past 12 years I have served our lakes by heading up the Clean Boat Clean Water program, and by holding various board of director roles. I have been lucky to have served along with some dedicated volunteers that are working to protect, maintain and enhance our chain and its surroundings. In this newsletter you will read about some of those volunteers and what they are doing throughout the year. Most recently, I was fortunate to be Vice President under our departing President, Keith Kelling. His leadership and guidance was appreciated and I am glad he is staying on the Board as Past President. Also please join me in welcoming new Board members Julie Gust and Steve Hart. In addition, our mission statement states that one of the functions of the BOD is to provide information of concern to our members. We have included information about two issues that have been getting more attention in our state recently, VRBO’s and wave/wake boats. If you have other issues you would like to see more information about, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any of our other board members. The BOD met on September 29, 2021 and voted unanimously to increase our yearly dues to $25 (unchanged for 26 years!). We felt this was necessary to ensure that our channel markers are maintained, and that our boat launch continues to be monitored for invasive species. Over the years I have spoken to many of you that haven’t had the time to work at the launch on the weekends, and you’ve asked for other ways to help out. NEW this year will be the opportunity for you to support our boat launch even more! Our new membership form shows how you can ‘Sponsor a Day’ at the launch. Your payment will pay for attendants to work at the launch that day, and your name(s) will be posted at the launch showing that you are an Invasive Species Attendant sponsor. Until next time, I hope you are enjoying life on our chain! -- Nancy FA L L 2021 NE W SL E T T E R Our mission is to protect, maintain and enhance environmental and recreational values of the Moen Lake Chain of lakes and its surroundings; to provide to its members information of concern; to represent its members with other organizations and public officials and to conduct such other activities as are appropriate to the purpose and consistent with the nonprofit status of the Association.
