From the President of the Klinger Lake Association

March, 2022

As of this morning, most of the ice which has covered Klinger Lake for months has now melted into the lake, so spring cannot be far behind.  Personally, I just scheduled the date for my pontoon boat to be delivered from storage.  I can’t wait!

The KLA Board of Directors held our first meeting of 2022 on Monday, March 14th so the summer season has officially started.  Incidentally, our meetings, which are held on the second Monday of each month at 7pm from March through September, are open to visitors.  If you are plan on attending, please let us know by sending an email to communications@klingerlakeassociation.org so we can confirm that nothing has changed.  We post minutes of our meetings on this website so anyone can see what we’re working on.

One initiative over the winter has been to revise our membership directory management process.  We’ve been transitioning to a program where individual members can update their own information.  This will enable us to publish the most accurate information each year.  A requirement for this process is having an email address for every KLA membership.  By using email, we can save a lot of time and money in communicating with our members, which allows us to hold our membership dues for 2022 at $50.  If you’ve not already registered with the KLA, please do so at http://eepurl.com/hTbruD

Thanks to everyone who supported our plans (via the ballot process) to transition the Klinger Lake Association into a 501(c)(3) entity.  We received unanimous support for the proposal.  After many delays with the IRS, we’ve just received approval for the change.  We’ll keep KLA membership updated as we complete the transition.

Upcoming dates and other plans: (Many of these items are listed elsewhere, this is just ‘top of mind’)
  • The 2022 Spring Newsletter will be issued in electronic form again this year
  • We continue to publish a printed directory of residents each year.  We plan to have these available by Memorial Day for distribution by the Beach Representatives
  • Our Annual Meeting will be held Saturday, June 25th at 10am at KLCC
  • The 2022 Fireworks are set for Saturday, July 2 with a rain date of Sunday, July 3
  • Working with the St. Joseph County Sheriff, we plan on co-sponsoring a Boater Safety class sometime this summer – details to follow

As always, thanks to all of you for supporting the Klinger Lake Association.
 
See you on the lake!
 
Mike Needham
President, Klinger Lake Association
