2020 LLPOA fall road clean-up APART, not TOGETHER.
With the terrific response from many Lone Lake residents in the spring, we will plan our annual fall road clean-up as an individual family event.
Health and safety first.
Please use an upcoming September day and time that work for you to walk the ditches of CR28(Ditch Bank Road/290th), CR 81 (380th), or CR 39 (Oak Avenue).
1. Bring bags for the assortment of items you may discover. Disposal of trash is by family as well for this fall.
2. Remember to wear bright-colored clothing to stand out to all traffic.
Thank you for your time and work to give our lake area cleanliness before the snow flies.

Lone Lake water quality update for August 2020
The Secchi disc reading this August showed a level of 24 feet. That is a bit better than July. (19’).
Water temperature has started it's downward trend with a warm 80.3 degrees F at the surface mid-July and August 6 was ‘only’ 76 degrees. enjoy it! No time like the present for a summer swim.
More water facts--- The lake outlet on the NW side has had some TLC this past week with volunteers removing refuse and debris from the waterway and hauling it away. Thanks to all workers. Let us know if this volunteer activity is of interest to you as many hands make light work.
Saving your pennies, and dollars, board members due to receive a small stipend at this time of the year for their efforts all chose to decline the offer again and save the dollars for lake needs. Thanks to all.
Continuing with the money focus, huge thanks to two LLPOA members, both retired from Medtronic, who chose to have the Medtronic retired volunteer funding of $500 come to the LLPOA for our use.
Perhaps you or your family member have a similar opportunity with a company connection? Firms that recognize volunteer hours and reward with donations to a non-profit organization are common throughout Minnesota. Please check with your company and, if possible, select LLPOA as an organization to receive your volunteer dollars. Maintaining a clean lake is the focus for all of us.

Why now?
A clean lake is one that you have .....and.....you want to maintain. We need to support research to keep our waters clean and our shorelines healthy. The current pandemic was not in anyone's forecast.......same with AIS invasive species of any kind for our lake. While we hope that is true, being prepared with knowledge, research, and strategies are vital. Join your neighbors to keep our lake one of the best.
PS....some of you normally renew at the annual meeting. We missed you. Another casualty of COVID. Please send it in and enjoy lunch with a lake view on your dock.
AIS boating inspectors continue to be in short supply and have not been at our landing as often as in past years. Due to fewer employees for the county program and many lakes wanting inspectors, we need to be even more vigilant with our own boats, those of friends and relatives, and all boats on our lake. Cleaning off the boat and motor before entering any new lake needs to be part of your routine. Everyone thanks you for that effort as we all benefit.
