The Annual Meeting of SCLA Members was held outside at the Town of Spider Lake pavilion on a rainy, but pleasant gathering of members May 28th.

SCLA leadership highlighted the recent approval of the first ever Comprehensive Lake Management Plan for the Spider Chain of Lakes, presented an update on membership, education, philanthropy and the financial report. Two board members were re-elected to 3-year terms: Gina Blayney and Jay Hoeschler.  

Long time volunteer, Candy Ramsay was presented with the Wisconsin Lake Stewardship Award originally presented at the April 2022 Wisconsin Lakes annual conference in Stevens Point.  The annual award honors and celebrates extraordinary volunteer efforts to protect lakes in Wisconsin.  Candy has donated enormous amounts of time and energy to SCLA and the Spider Chain of Lakes over many years.  Thank you, Candy!

President Larry Keller announced the Northern Pike removal initiative this year will include cleaning the pike and donating to the Hayward Food Pantry.  Stay tuned for more details in the next email blast.

The AIS Committee, led by Ray Langer and David Meyer presented details on the Comprehensive Lake Management Plan.  More educational opportunities lie ahead.  Contact us at spiderchainoflakes@gmail.com to learn more about how you can volunteer to help implement components of the CLMP.
