To our members,
Spring Beach Clean-Up
Saturday, May 9
Meet at 9:00 AM @ Sorenson's Beach Access on Hwy 81
(West side of the lake, across from the Golf Course entrance)

We love clean shorelines and hope you do too! Trash left on the beach is unattractive and can create safety hazards for boaters, swimmers and aquatic life.
Come and volunteer to clean up the shoreline!
Meet at Sorenson's Beach Access - west side of the lake on Hwy 81.
Plans and team locations will be shared to ensure lake-wide coverage.
Trash bags and nitrite gloves will be provided. Feel free to bring "grabbers" if you have one.
Foster the next generation of lake caretakers by bringing the kids to join this fun, hands-on experience.
