1) The BSLA produces a regular newsletter and maintain a website to
keep members (and, yes) non-members informed of lake related issues.

2) The BSLA represents you and your interests with a variety of
organizations (ACLARA, BSALWMP and others) that are concerned with the
quality of our lakes and our watershed.

3) The BSLA is, first and foremost, concerned with improving the
quality of our lake. We're working to determine how water quality can
be improved and will put those finding to action (TMDA study).

4) The BSLA is on the frontlines to combat invasive species and to
keep them out of our waters.

5) The BSLA monitors legislative activities and government actions
that can have a significant impact on lake use. Recent such actions
were the R.O.P.E. Study and proposed Shoreline Use Restrictions.

6) The BSLA is working with the DNR and Aitkin County in efforts to
improve our fishery.

7) The BSLA works with the Aitkin County Sheriff to keep our lake safe
for all lake users

8) The BSLA is there to listen to your concerns and to address them as
appropriate. Contact us if you ever have an issue you believe should
be addressed.

These, and other benefits, are yours for only $20 a year. It's a very
small investment in the future of our lake...
