Why Joining Our Lake Association Matters

 Here's a glimpse into the vital work CGWLAA undertakes:

  • Environmental Protection: We actively work to monitor and improve water quality, combat invasive species that can devastate native ecosystems and promote sustainable practices among lake users. We conduct regular water testing, organize clean-up initiatives, and educate members on aquatic wildlife stewardship and responsible boating and landscaping.

  • Advocacy and Representation: CGWLAA serves as a collective voice for the lake community. We engage with local and state governments on issues that impact the lake, such as environmental policies. A unified voice carries far more weight than individual concerns.

  • Safety and Education: CGWLAA prioritizes safety on the water. We install and maintain navigation markers, and disseminate important information about water hazards and emergency procedures. We also administer a Water Safety Patrol program in coordination with the Cass County Sheriff.

  • Preserving Property Values: A healthy and well-maintained lake directly contributes to the property values of surrounding homes. By actively working to protect the lake's ecological integrity and aesthetic appeal, CGWLAA helps ensure the long-term value of your investment.

Your Membership: A Small Investment, a Big Impact

Becoming a member of the Child, Girl, Woman Lakes Are Association is an investment in the future of our lakes. Membership dues pool together resources that allow our association to carry out its essential work. Your contribution directly supports:

  • Water quality testing and analysis.

  • Invasive species monitoring and control efforts.

  • Educational programs and outreach materials.

  • Advocacy efforts with governing bodies.

  • Maintenance of any shared lake access points or facilities.

Beyond the financial contribution, membership offers opportunities to get involved directly. Whether it's volunteering for a roadside clean-up day, participating in water quality testing, or sharing your expertise on a committee, your active participation strengthens our association and its impact.
