Bark River/LKRA Fundraising Dinner

On Wed, Jan 31st at 6:30pm at the Culver's in Newville - the planning committee is meeting to discuss the future of the annual dinner.

I would like to ask the Lake District Board, as well as all lake district electors that can be reached on short notice to attend this meeting

There is some concern that the dinner will not be held. I would very much hope that this annual tradition continue, but with a new cause.

Rather than the proceeds donated to the DNR as has been the tradition, which then the DNR earmarks for the Hatchery, perhaps for just this year, proceeds be donated to the Lake District so we can help the RRKA and the LKRA pay for their attorney fees during the past Contested Case Hearing.

Our appeal is being done pro-bono by the lawyers, so this will enable the RKLD to continue to Rock County Circuit Court with no added expense to our taxpayers AND we anticipate REDUCING the special tax charge this summer.

However, if the Hatchery is already funded from last year's dinner, then RKLD would appreciate a one-year helping hand on behalf of legal fees incurred by RRKA and LKRA in support of healthier operating orders for improved Lake levels.

Feel free to reply your thoughts on this concept.
