A member is anyone that lives or owns on the lake and has paid their annual dues.   Membership grants one vote on items presented at any general membership meeting.  It also give you access to restricted pages on this web site.
You can join or renew your membership at the annual meeting in June, through the mail OR online through Paypal.

Your Dues and Environmental Fund donations  are 100% tax deductible.  Here is the typical disclaimer again: "You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your unique tax situation."  You will receive a thank you letter / acknowledgment letter from the Lake Association to the address on the check.  The thank you letter is your documentation for your tax return.  If you wish the letter sent to another address, please include that with you dues.
