WATER QUALITY MONITORING  - UPDATE

HACKERT LAKE ASSOCIATION is partnering with Michigan Clean Water Corps. 

With the departure of West Shore Community College, we have been looking for a new partner to continue our monitoring of our beautiful lake.  Thank you Ed for finding this option.  MI Corps monitoring is based on local volunteers to gather data samples. 

Annual Meeting  !!- Saturday July 20,2024

Dear Lake Friends,

Please join us at Matt & Jen McMellen's, 1483 N Cedar Lane, for our lake association annual meeting at 10:00am this Saturday, July 20.  Light refreshments will be provided.  (Rain location is Mason County Central High School, Scottville.)

It is our greatest hope that when you think of attending our upcoming annual business meeting, you’ll think of it as much more than an annual meeting for business. 

As we gather, we hope you’ll come to see old friends and greet new ones you’ve not yet met. We encourage you to bring fresh ideas of what could be great on our shared lake, what is working for you, and what matters of concern you may have. 

We extend a welcoming hand of help with small tasks you can’t get done alone and offer contacts for big jobs we can’t get done either. We look for you to brainstorm with us on how we can stay connected during the cold, harsh months of the year and what we should know about surrounding wildlife. We’d like to learn more about the history of the lake from those who’ve been here awhile, and share the unique and special beauty of its past with those just coming in. 

In short, please consider the annual meeting to be an informal time that is just as much about sharing with each other as it is about the business of getting things done. You are an important part of keeping all things enjoyable in our little corner of the world. 

Come, and help make it better.

The boat parade is also returning this year! If you didn't get in on the fun last year, make sure you try this year. No decorating theme, but feel free to express your design/art skills, or just come as you are. Three prizes will be given for the "best floats". No starting point, just start your cruise from your own dock. Don't forget to end up near the campground for some great music!
