Happy New Year!
Yes, it is that time of year, time to renew your membership to Ann Lake Property Owners Association (ALPOA). There has been a change this year which will impact some members. For those of you who have been long time members, you know that the Riparian membership actually lags a year from your actual membership year. So the 4 issues of the Riparian you received during 2015, were actually paid for by your 2014 year membership. We are trying to make adjustments so the issues of the Riparian will be more in line with your membership year.
Starting in 2016, we will be submitting our list of owners who request the Riparian to Michigan Lake & Streams in February. This will mean owners will receive their April, July, and Oct magazines the same year as their membership, plus the January issue from the following year.
In order to get the Riparian, we will need your membership renewals by the end of Feb (preferably in January). Renewals after March 1st which request the Riparian will be notified that they will not be eligible this year but can request the magazine through ALPOA the following year by renewing early.
We are currently looking for a volunteer as “Secretary” this year. If you have any questions, please contact either Scott Hedberg, President, or Kathy Garmes-Taylor, Treasurer, with any questions.
