Updates from The Amelia-Villard-Leven Lake Association
- Note the new E mail address of the Lake Association. It is avllakesassoc@gmail.com. Please use this E mail to get information on AVL business or to contact the association. This E mail address wil be used to facilitate future communications to our association members.
- The survey to identify aquatic invasive weeds and other invasive species has now been completed. All three lakes were surveyed. The results of the completed survey can be seen on "Lakes Report" on the left hand side of the home page. This is a link to the official data report of the invasive aquatic plants on the three lakes...Check it out.
- It is more important then ever that we all use the free boat cleaning station located at the Amelia lake access. The spread of invasive species is growing in volume..Let's all do our part to preserve the quality of our waters for ourselves as well as future generations.
- The AVL board's focus in 2023 and going forward is the control of aquatic vegetation that is exploding in our three lakes. We are investigating the most effective, affordable and environmentally safe ways to control native vegetation that has spread unchecked in our waters. We are exploring several methods to use which include mechanical means as well as chemical means. The overgrowth of this vegetation can be attributed to several factors. Some of these factors include run off of fertilizers, zebra mussel invasion, and other pollutants. Our objective is to inform lakeshore owners of our findings and to provide everyone the information to help extract the unwanted vegetation. This includes permits, approved methods, and of course costs. We will inform all as we learn more.
- THE AVL lake association is looking for board members to fill several vacancies on our board. If you are interested in joining the Lake Association board please contact any member listed on this web page. It would be great to have a representative from Lake Villard or Lake Leven to provide first hand input of either lake, however any and all lake residents are welcome to apply for the empty seat.
- The lake Associations annual news letter has been mailed to all lake shore residents. The letter explains the projects, the concerns, events, and more information that the Lake Association has been working on. If you did not receive a copy, please ask any board member for help in getting a copy.
- The AVL Associations annual meeting will be held on Tuesday August 8th at 7:00 P.M. you can attend in person at the Grace Pointe Church ( previously Methodist Church) in Villard, or via ZOOM. Zoom is a free app. for your computer, tablet. or phone. It allows you to join the meeting remotely. Please do your best to attend this informative and important meeting.
- It is again time to support the Lake Association's efforts to keep our lakes clean and beautiful by paying your 2023 membership dues. We will, once again, be awarding early payers with a chance at donated gift cards by several vendors. We all know the staggering costs of inflation we all have to endure, and more then ever membership dues are extremely important for us to achieve our goals. As always the AVL board continues to be a voluntary group, and we sincerely thank you in advance for your participation. Please forward your payment of $30.00 to: AVL.
