From the President of the Klinger Lake Association

November, 2018

As I watch the last few docks and boat lifts come out of the lake for the winter, it is a good time to reflect on 2018.  Thanks to the tremendous support of the members of the Klinger Lake Association, we all experienced another season enjoying the treasure that is Klinger Lake.  A few things that happened in 2018:
  • 350 residents supported the Klinger Lake Association in 2018
  • We had 273 residents contribute over $17K to the fireworks in July
  • 5.5 acres (out of ~850) were treated for invasive weeds at a cost of about $8000
  • Our second boat wash event was held at the public access to help reduce invasive weeds
  • In cooperation with the St Joseph County Sheriff, we hosted another Boater Safety Class to enhance safe boating on the lake
  • We assisted over 200 lake residents in testing the quality of their well water
  • By testing the water at Thompson Lake and Tamarack Lake, we set a baseline to watch for potential future changes in our environment
As a reminder, please help the KLA to protect our lake year-round…not just during the summer.  As you complete your fall clean up – and when you clean up in the spring – don’t put debris in the lake!

Thank you for your amazing support of the KLA in 2018.  We couldn’t do anything without your help.  On behalf of the KLA Board of Directors, I wish you a safe and happy holiday season and a great 2019.  See you on the lake!
