A Message from the President
May, 2021
Fellow Lakefront Property Owners,
We continue to need your help for the lake. Last year, we spent everything that we had to repair storm damage to the channel. We had been building a fund for the next low water dredging but it was totally consumed by the storm repairs. Operations in a normal year cost about $16,000, primarily for weed treatment. We need an additional $18,000/yr. to restore the dredging fund. Can we count on you for $250 this year?
We recently updated our Bylaws concerning election of Board Members. The Board is limited to no more than 9 Directors standing for terms of three years. Two of our Directors were re-elected; Ken Harris and Don Trygstad. We are pleased to announce the addition of Wes Eklund to our board and will welcome his considerable skill set to our programs. Sadly, we must now thank Dr. John Cress for over two decades of service. He started our weed control program by shoveling chemicals from a stripped-down pontoon boat and then walking around and begging for contributions.

To be a voting member and receive a ballot, you must own property on Mona Lake and have contributed at least $50 in the current year. Dues remain a voluntary contribution.
Thanks again to those who contributed last year. We hope you have enjoyed your subscription to Michigan Riparian magazine. We are again offering these subscriptions to all members.
Thankyou
MLIA Board of Directors
