What is the Spring Appeal?

When you have questions concerning Little Sebago Lake and its community, where do you turn? If you are like most members, you visit the LSLA website, newsletter or Facebook page. Or perhaps, you will reach out to one of our board members? Why? Because you know you will receive current information concerning the health, safety and activities on Little Sebago from those who love it most- Little Sebago Lake Association members. Gone are the days when the majority of lake love was spent between Memorial and Labor days. Little Sebago requires year round attention and planning to assure that when summer arrives and peak season begins, we are full steam ahead with all that our association offers our membership. The Dam Crew, Safety Patrol, Milfoil divers, and Loon lovers are all suiting up for another splendid summer season. The LSLA’s season kickoff begins with this newsletter and our Spring Appeal. We will request support from over 1000 lake owners and, in keeping with our mission, “… create and nurture a community of lake stewards, educate users on lake safety, and always be mindful that human needs must be balanced with the needs of the natural environment”.

Your donation isextremely important because it offers immediate resources that are directed at fulfilling our mission. The suggested giving categories are structured to provide a level that is most comfortable for you and your family. Every dollar donated is used for the health and longevity of Little Sebago Lake and the property surrounding it. As property owners, we all have a vested interest in Little Sebago. We are hoping to secure 80% participation in 2019, and will report more specific donor support information at our annual meeting in July. Every dollar counts. May we count on you? Little Sebago Lake has a robust and engaged community of families; some going back many generations. It is our goal to continue to protect and preserve our lake for the future generations to come. You may return the enclosed donor support form OR pay online at https://littlesebagolake.com/giving/ . Thank you to all who support the association and the beneficial programs created for you and yours. See you on the water! Debra Lavoie Membership Committee Merchandise Update 2019 Calendars have been reduced to $12 - a good price with 9 months remaining, but also a great opportunity to enjoy some beautiful photos of the lake. It’s always nice to save a copy as a souvenir of the lake. Laminated maps are expected to arrive in a couple of months. The Association is working with Cumberland County Soil and Water to update the lake map to include identification of previously unnamed coves, roads and points. A message will be posted on the Association website when the maps are available.
