Our Volunteers Need Your Help!
For the past 20 years or so, SLA has been fortunate to have had a dedicated group of people actively taking part in protecting, sustaining, and enhancing our wonderful lake. We depend on our volunteers. And though fortunate, WE NEED YOUR HELP TOO to tackle our ongoing activities and to take on new projects. It's not heavy lifting, can be a lot of fun, and you might even meet a new neighbor! Here are some ways you can contribute your time and talents. To Volunteer, simply fill out the form below and we'll be back in touch. Other opportunities to assist include:
