House To House Drive Underway At Koontz Lake Starting this week volunteers will be contacting homes at Koontz Lake. They will be asking for a donation towards the Lake Enhancement Program. This is a very important part of our fund drive and we hope that everybody will donate, if you haven’t already. The need for money is urgent. At our July public meeting it was announced that we were in debt about $14,000 on the work done, or soon to be completed. Since then we have reduced this to approximately $4,000.00 with funds received. Most funding received from the State of Indiana can only be used for certain projects. The Board of Directors are hoping to be able to address other problems in the future, as funds permit. The removal of sediment has been estimated to cost between $850,000 and $1.3 million. Plans have already begun to secure funds but must be met with public donations. As you can see this is a big effort and certainly needs everybody’s support. Some people living in Starke County are concerned about the late mailing of the spring tax bill. We called the County Treasurer’s office for information and were told statements will be mailed the 3rd week of August but will not be due until November 13. We hope with this information you will feel you can donate soon to the Lake Enhancement program. Please wirte your check today and mail to Ray Chapman (Fund Chairman). % Realty World/Lakesidc. Route 5. Box 232. Walkerton. Indiana 46574 or give to the volunteer calling at your home. Special note: If someone calls on your for a donation and you have mailed your check, just let them know. It is very important that everybody gives to this program. Our success is a must! The following is a list of those who have donated to the fund since the last published list. Ask your neighbor if they have donated. To date $14,349.00 has been received. Donations have been received by the following: Mvron and Catherine Mullet. Michael and Karen Grant.
