Visioning Session

We would like to request your participation in a very important Beebe Lake Association event.

As you may know, Beebe Lake was recently declared an “Impaired Lake” by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. This means that Beebe Lake does not meet water quality standards and designated uses because of pollutant(s), pollution, or unknown causes of impairment.

Last spring, a handful of BLA members and eight other Wright County Lake association groups attended the Healthy Lakes and Rivers Partnership Training (sponsored by the Wright County Soil and Water District, and funded by The Initiative Foundation) last March. The purpose of the training was to equip citizen leaders develop and implement effective lake management plans. Upon successful completion of a lake management plan as well as the completion of the highest priority action items, each participating Lake Association will be eligible to receive grants from organizations to help support ongoing lake management efforts.

A key element to any successful lake management plan is broad community involvement. As lake residents, neighbors, and users of Beebe Lake, we share a similar vested interest in ensuring that this body of water remains a healthy natural resource and community asset for years to come.

Therefore, the BLA cordially invites you to attend the Beebe Lake Strategic Visioning Session on April 12, 2008, from 9-12 p.m. at Hanover Hall. A catered lunch will be served from 12-1 p.m., along with an opportunity for the session attendees to enjoy some unstructured socializing.

Thank you for your attention to these matters. We look forward to seeing you on April 12th!
