Hello Province Lake Community,
With the ice now gone and things starting to come back to life around the lake, I am guessing you are thinking about getting back to the Lake to open things up for the season. Unlike past years, we are not going to do a huge mailing solicitation for membership. This email is our primary communication, with a few letters being mailed to those we don’t have an email address for. Last years mailing went out to about 500 households, cost us about $1,300 and to be honest, didn’t generate many new members.
As you know, we as an association and lake community have many challenges ahead of us and we need all the support, both financial and in volunteers that we can get. Here is a few of the things the PLA has been and is working on:
• NH DES grant funding to create a vegetative buffer along 600 feet of Rte 153 to keep sediment and pollutants from washing into the lake. Phase 2 is scheduled for June 30th, so mark your calendars and come and volunteer. More on this later.
• Water quality sampling and testing to track the lake health.
• Watershed survey to identify areas to focus Best Management Practices to eliminate sediment/nutrient loading to the lake. Again, more on this is forth coming at the annual meeting on August 8th, so again mark your calendar.
The Board of the PLA is made up of all volunteers, however many activities require resources to accomplish those activities and that is where we need both funds and bodies to help. For those of you that join year after year after year, we thank you. For everyone, please consider joining the Association, the minimum is only $25, but more is always welcome. It is a very small investment to help with the lake and say you at least are participating.
You can join in a few ways …
First, you can go to this link … https://provincelake.org/about/membership/ . Fill in the form online and mail a check or pay via PayPal. For PayPal, currently you need to submit the form and then click the donate button on the webpage or scan the QR code. We are working to get PayPal linked to the form.
Second, from the same page you link to above you can print the membership form, complete it, enclose a check and mail the form and check to us.
Third, you can hand a check or cash to any of the board members.
Please join and help your lake and get your friends and neighbors to join as well.
Regards,
Jon Samuelson
PLA VP & Membership Chair
