We Really Kare (WRK): Jean received a letter from WRK thanking PLPOA for our donation and giving information on what the club did for our lake. It was discussed that we have representation at one of our meetings (from a Pine Lake owner who is a member of WRK) so that PLPOA can know in advance what is being put into PL and in the future we can work together. Fred, also a member of WRK, will reach out to the club to see what we can next.

Design a t-shirt: Jean suggested maybe having a child do a design as well.
