The BLPOA is a member/donor organization whose focus is recreation on the Barbee Chain of Lakes for us, our kids and grandkids.

A significant part of keeping the lakes fun is controlling the invasive weeds such as eurasian milfoil and curlyleaf pondweed. To fund weed control we need members and donations and that is why we need you.  We also apply for grants to treat weeds and to fund other projects to improve lake recreation. We, along with many others, apply for Lake and River Enchancement grants from Indiana DNR to help fund weed control. DNR can only fund a small number of the applications so most years we are fully responsible for weed treatment and the costs are increasing significantly.

In addition the BLPOA maintains signs on the lakes, sponsors the Hotdog Boat and the Pirates Parade.

BLPOA meetings are the third Saturday of every month from March through October of each year. They are held at the North Webster Community Center and begin at 8am. The annual meeting is on the third Saturday of July and begins at 9am. Please come!

This 15"er would beg to differ. A sign of a good early summer season.

As you may have read in the newsletters, funds have been rather limited for the
last few years.  Due to this, the Board of Directors for the BLPOA has looked at
several means of saving money.  As the cost of printing and mailing was in
excess of $700 a year it was decided to discontinue the membership
stickers.  You may have also noticed the newsletter has been
streamlined.  This too has resulted in a significant savings.

As the temperatures start to warm some folks think of lawn work. Think about impact on the lake as well by going here first.

Meetings are on the third Saturday of the month and that happens to be 5/18/13 at 8am in the North Webster Community Center Youth room. Hope to see you there.
