We received confirmation on Saturday, 10/4/03, that we were approved for the $1500
Neighborhood Grant. This money will be used to jumpstart our "Junior" WLNA -
under the leadership of Pam Mizerany. The primary focus of this junior association will be
"environmental"....and I know that Pam will do a GREAT job. I also know that she
will need a lot of encouragement and support...and of course interested young people from
the neighborhood.
So members with kids....please start talking to your kids about the possibility of this
junior association happening soon. We don't have details but from early conversations with
Pam I know she's thinking along the lines of some field trips....possibly a camping
trip....making our own lakes a kind of "living laboratory" etc. Somehow we're
going to need to create an accurate roster of ALL the neighborhood kids with ages so that
Pam can start contacting these households. Be thinking about how we might do that. THANKS!
YEAH WLNA!!!!!!!

September 24th - BOCC Award Ceremony for best "Environmental Project" - at County Center
On behalf of the 70+ salvinia warriors (WLNA residents) who scooped,
raked, hauled, and hoisted...Olivia Mead proudly accepted the county's highest
neighborhood recognition award - Best Environmental Project for 2003! Olivia used the
moment to remind commissioners that although the effort had been a huge success...due to
factors beyond the residents' control...the lake has TEMPORARILY returned to the
deplorable state. Commissioner Hagan praised the ongoing efforts of WLNA for its tireless
pursuit of a solution - and noted the launch of the Lake Mangement Plan on Saturday,
September 27th.
