Nice Christmas Gifts for our Lake

What a great gift – a clean lake for our kids, grandkids and even great grandkids!

Many of you have already given to the Foundation Fund Drive this year, but here’s an opportunity for members of your extended family to also help with a gift.  If your relatives exchange Christmas gifts among themselves, what about having people request that their gift be a check to the Foundation.  What could be better than a gift to keep the lake clean for our youngsters?

For the Christmas gift, request that the donor mail a check to LLAA Foundation, PO Box 808, Park Rapids, MN 56470, and include in the check memo “(Your Family) Xmas Gifts”.   All of “(Your Family) Xmas Gifts” will be combined, based on the check memo notations.  The total of “(Your Family) Xmas Gifts” will be recognized on the Foundation website:  http://llaafoundation.blogspot.com/2011/11/purpose-long-lake-area-association.html
Each contributor will receive a receipt for their tax deductible gift.  This is the second year one family has done this and it works well.

Your Xmas gifts will help us reach the 2013 Fund Drive goal of $20,000, primarily to pay for watercraft inspections and education in 2014.  As of 10/30/13, $17,735 has been received:  http://llaafoundation.blogspot.com/
