With the changing seasons comes the end of our LLPOA Summer 2022 on Lone Lake.

Mother Nature challenged us with our spring Road Cleanup as it was very cold and only 7 members participated but they got the job done.

The AIS Inspections Program ran throughout the summer with no Eurasian Milfoil or Zebra Mussels detected.

Then on the 4th of July the Lone Lake Triathlon surged ahead only to finish in a deluge of rain. The threatening storms and lightning caused the cancellation of the popular Lone Lake Independence Day Boat Parade.

The LLPOA’s Annual Meeting and lunch was well attended on July 15th by 55 members and guests. They were treated to Stan Tekiela’s Back Yard Birds presentation and great foods and desserts.

On July 30th a lakeshore restoration project was completed by 18 members working on the Prell’s lakeshore.

We ended our summer with a great turnout of 21 members for the Fall Road Clean-up!

The LLPOA Board of Directors met throughout the summer and held their final meeting to complete this year’s work and plan for the 2023.

To help complete next year’s planning a short member survey will be sent out in November to help in determining how to plan for a midweek 4th of July and how to best communicate with members.

Many changes lie ahead for LLPOA leadership as I will end my term as president after 22 years at the 2023 Annual Meeting. A nominations committee has been set up to find candidates for president, treasurer, and other board positions. So far board member Mark Sauerbrey has announced his candidacy for president and board member Linda Szymanski for treasurer.

The committee will be looking to find candidates for Team Leaders for AIS, Water Surface Use, and two Directors at Large.

Bev Napurski is completing work on our LLPOA Membership Roster which will be sent electronically to paid members. Watch for it in the coming weeks.

So, thank you for your membership and support of the LLPOA as we had 121 join the association this year. We all will continue to work to preserve and protect the beauty of Lone Lake for the future.

We will see you on the lake and around town.

Steve Frazier, LLPOA President
