We're happy to post Kristina Czarnacki's presentation about marketing to your members. She shows several examples of what other lake associations have done and presents a roadmap. We're very glad she presented at our meeting and also answered so many questions!

The final meeting of 2025 was held at the LaGrange Town Hall and featured Kristina Czarnecki discussing communications and marketing. Her presentation will be posted here soon. Kristina outlined a plan that any lake association could use to communicate via email and newsletters, plus strategies for websites. In local lake news, we discussed how municipalities approve buoy permits and place them. If anyone would like to share their information, please email us at info@walworth
