Hello to more than 800 Fellow SLSA Members - those that have e-mail. If you have lake neighbors that don't have e-mail, please share this update with them.

We want to provide you with an update of activities that have been undertaken by your hard-working SLSA Board members: Hugh Harper, Gordon Benthal, Jim Clish, Brian Curial, Andy Fraser, Don Johnson, Jordan Kabat, Dan Klemke, Roy Nilsen, and Bob Walker.

The Board:

• submitted our application to incorporate a non-profit society to be called the Skeleton Lake Stewardship Association,
• is preparing an application to Canada Revenue Agency to become a registered charity; that process takes from 4 to 9 months so we won't have an answer for awhile
• will be launching our SLSA website very soon,
• will be finalizing our strategic plan
• continues discussions with Alberta Environment, and,
• committees are being created to help the Association accomplish our goals.

We'll send another e-mail next week to keep you informed about SLSA's plans and activities and to ask for your help with several undertakings.

Thanks to you all for your support and interest!
