Letter Writing Campaign

We got some disturbing news this past week. After getting approval for a $60,000 grant to enable us to continue with the wonderful work on the lake we were told that the state had put a freeze on the money. The DEC informed us that they were not clear for how long the freeze would be in effect and suggested a letter writing campaign to our politicians. We need the government to know how important this money is to us for the continued progress on restoring our lake. You can download a list of politicians to write to as well as a sample letter here. Please start sending letters as soon as possible so we hopefully can get someone's attention.
