ESLA

MembersHIP

​​​​​​​

Thank you to the 78% (164 of 209) of our community 

who paid their 2024 Annual Dues!​​​​​

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​In 2024, we held our first annual ESLA membership drive and had some great conversations/learnings with our neighbors. Our membership drive involves a Board member coming to your lake home for a friendly face-to-face conversation.  These conversations give you the opportunity to get to know your board members and share your concerns/ideas about the lakes with them.  The Board member will listen and take your valuable input back to the board for consideration and action when possible.

​​​

We would like to further increase our dues paid participation beyond 78% because we can do so much more together!  Towards this goal, the Board will continue to hold additional membership drives during the coming summer to encourage more neighbors to join ESLA.  

​​​

These are some of the important activities that our dues support:

• ​Treatment and control of invasive and nuisance aquatic weeds

• Road potholes and other repairs and maintenance of our private roads (we receive no road services from the township, county or state)

• Snow removal from our roads in the winter. Proper snow removal is necessary for emergency crews (fire, police, etc) to be able to reach and protect all of our properties, which is important for even those who head someplace warmer during these months.

• Association-related insurance premiums

• Bridge maintenance

• Safety-related expenses (e.g., signage)

​

Some of the benefits of being a dues-paid member include:

• Vote for new Board Members

• Attend ESLA activities with your neighbors; like the Corn Roast and 4th of July Festivities

• Vote on projects such as bridge repair, road repair, etc

• Running for the Board

• Have a say on how we protect our lakes and maintain our roads

• Attend annual membership meeting

 

Please do your part in keeping our lakes pristine and enjoyable for all by being a dues-paying member in 2025.​
