Our goal was to double our invasive species reserve fund from $5000 to $10,000 to allow ALPOA to respond aggressively in the vital first year to any incursion by non-native aquatic plants. We met this goal. This fund demonstrates our commitment to the Township which we hope will match our efforts with similar or in-kind contributions.

While we have met our goal, we are still accepting donations explicitly marked for the Invasive Species Fund. With all the lakes around us experiencing aquatic invasive plants, we are concerned that it is only a matter of time until Ann Lake is infested. This money will be used to handle this emergency situation; it will allow us to get professional treatment started almost intermediately. How to contribute:
- Fill out the modified membership form .
- Send check payable to ALPOA; please note the Invasive Species Fund in the memo section.
- If you would like to donate via PayPal, there is a donate button on the bottom of the Membership Application page.
