E-Mail Newsletter -- If you received this newsletter, please consider saving the board the $2 it costs to print and mail this newsletter by reading it online at www.lakemitchell.org. (We would rather use our money to fight milfoil than print and mail newsletters). All the contents of the newsletter are available online plus photos, minutes of our meetings, and features about Lake Mitchell not found in our annual newsletter. Email us at info@lakemitchell.org and we will add your email to our list which has over 265 addresses. Those on our email list are notified about important Lake Mitchell information including days when the lake will be treated, and harvested, as well being alerted to upcoming meetings. If important news happens emails are sent. When high winds on October 26 and 27 toppled trees downing power lines, and on December 12 when 14 inches of snow fell, emails were sent and especially appreciated by Association members not living on the lake. The email list will not be sold or offered to anyone and will only be used for Lake Mitchell Improvement Board and Association business.
