FLPOA Board Meeting Saturday, April 28th Join us at 8:30am on Saturday, April 28th, for a spring FLPOA Board Meeting at the Old City Hall. Everyone is welcome! FLPOA Fundraising Challenge In 2009 FLPOA began the task of developing Lake Management Plans (LMP) for our lakes through a program administered by the Initiative Foundation. This program requires property owners to develop a detailed plan for their lake(s) that follows a prescribed format. We are in the process of completing LMPs for Eagle, East and West Fox Lakes. We anticipate submitting these plans to the Initiative Foundation by the end of August. The Foundation will review these plans and when the review is completed, a $5000.00 matching grant will be available to our association. Our challenge is raising the $5000.00 to match this grant. For every dollar we raise the Initiative Foundation will match up to $5000.00. We would like to raise the money by increasing our membership or by asking for contributions from our members or both. We are an all-volunteer organization and 100% of the monies will be used for projects that support our vision and mission. Please consider renewing your membership now or making a contribution to help us meet the $5000 goal. An average contribution of $25 per member will get us very close to our goal. Please invite your neighbors to be part of this challenge. ....................................................................................................................................................................
