Hello Garfield Lake Association Members!!
This is just a quick message to remind you of our 6th Garfield Lake Association meeting coming up. It’s May 27th, 2023, at 10:00 am in the Trinity Lutheran Church in Laporte. Our meeting will last no more than 1 hour so we can all get out and enjoy our Lake.
A couple of the items we will share with you are the status of our AIS Inspection at the Garfield Boat Landing. Thanks to several of our members and the Garfield Lake Ice Racers, we’ve come back to the inspection hours we had last year. We will give you more details on that at the meeting.
We also would like to share with the fishermen of our membership the status of how we hope to “deal with” the huge number of small northerns in our lake. We have some good historical data that we hope to convince the “right people” that something needs to be done. We would like our members’ input and experiences on this at the meeting.
We are going to take a vote to change our By Laws to allow those individuals who would like to be on the Garfield Board of Directors to “choose” the length of their term. We think more members would join us in the length of their “term” was from 1 to 3 years, at their choice, when they are elected. We are always looking for membership input and support and the easiest and most consistent way to do that is by becoming a Board member. So, our hope is our membership will “pass” the By Laws change to allow a 1-, 2- or 3-year term. We hope you think about it and join us.
We will also be distributing the fun Garfield Lake clothing and articles that our members purchased from the company of one of our members, Bee Seen Gear. We can tell you at the meeting more about that as we distribute those items.
We use this meeting to collect the annual membership fee of $30 for the 2023 season. Your checks can be made out to the Garfield Lake Association. These are the funds we use to “match” Lakeport township, Hart Lake Township, and the City of Laporte to help pay for increased AIS Boat Landing inspection.
We ask that you please join us at this 6h Annual Meeting!! It will held on May 27, at 10:00 am, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Laporte. I promise you, the meeting will last no longer than one hour. We use it to get the comments and ideas our members have on ways to KEEP GARFIELD HEALTHY !!
Hope to see you there, Ron Ray
