Please save the date and plan to join us for the MFA’s 2026 Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday, June 13, 2026 at Wascott Town Hall (Hwy 53 at County Road T). This year’s meeting comes at a critical moment for the Flowage, and strong member participation matters.

Agenda Highlights

Aquatic Invasive Species Update — The Lake Management Committee will present a full update on Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM) control efforts, including our current permit applications and the path forward following the DNR’s second consecutive denial of grant funding. Member decisions at this meeting will directly shape the MFA’s treatment strategy and fundraising priorities.

A detailed agenda will be distributed to all members approximately 7–10 days before the meeting.

Voting & Membership

Only current members may vote. If your membership has lapsed or you haven’t yet joined, you can renew or register at the welcome desk the morning of the meeting. You can also get ahead of it now — or review the membership and voting rules in the MFA Bylaws.

Lunch & Community

Stick around after the meeting for a free lunch — always a great chance to reconnect with neighbors and meet new faces on the Flowage. Everyone is welcome.

Know someone who should be there? Please share this notice with neighbors and anyone who may not be on our contact list.

We hope to see you on June 13th. If you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally.

Save the Flowage Campaign

$49,900 Raised — and Your Shoreline Sign Could Be Next

First donor recognition signs go into fabrication soon — donate now to be in the first run

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the Save the Flowage campaign has now raised $49,900 toward our $200,000 goal for Eurasian watermilfoil treatment. That’s real momentum — but we still have significant ground to cover, and every contribution brings us closer to a funded treatment season.

There are more than 300 property owners and stakeholders on the Flowage. If even a fraction of those who haven’t yet contributed get involved, the MFA will have the resources to mount a sustained response — regardless of which path our permitting process takes. If you know a neighbor who hasn’t heard about the campaign, now is the time to pass the word along.

Donor Recognition Signs: First Look

We’re heading into our first fabrication run in the coming week. Donors who give before the run is finalized will have their names included on the first set of shoreline recognition signs. Here’s a preview of what supporters will be displaying this summer:

Flowage Steward $500+

Flowage Guardian $1,000+

Donate before the first fabrication run is finalized (future runs will require order minimums) and your name will be among the first on the Flowage. Signs are displayed on donor shorelines throughout the summer season as a visible thank-you — and a reminder to every passing boat of why this work matters.
