Ahoy Deer Lake Residents!
If you were able to travel or live elsewhere this past winter, you really missed a doozy of a winter. It was a fierce, never-ending season but spring has finally arrived. Now we can reap the benefits of living on this beautiful lake, enjoying it with family and friends!
It is so good for us to know of new residents on Deer Lake so they can receive the various communications and stay up to date on upcoming events. If you have new neighbors, please let the membership committee know by contacting Pam Libertini at 612-578-7163, membership@deerlakewi.com.
Your continued contributions to the Deer Lake Improvement Association are so impactful in treating the water from invasive species and allowing us to have the annual events such as Music on the Lake and the amazing fireworks display! Please watch your emails and/or mailboxes for the annual dues’ statements.
Page through this edition of Deer Tales for all the fun to come, including more information on the events, the Clean Boats, Clean Waters Program, lake safety and so much more!
Looking forward to waving to you on your boats as you cruise by and hanging out during events!
Blessings to you and your families,
Renee Graves
President, Deer Lake Improvement Association

Curly Leaf Pondweed Permit Application 2023:
We did not qualify for CLP treatment this year, all of our beds are under the 5-acre minimum the DNR now requires for treatment. The AIS planning team has discussed amending our plan to reflect this change, and we will continue treatments when the beds reach the threshold.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact Kate Wright, Chair of the Environmental Committee OR Renee Graves, President DLIA.

Volunteers Needed
The Environmental committee is looking for additional volunteers to donate their time at the public boat landing this summer. Teach your kids and grandkids the importance of giving back and help them gain valuable experience, meet volunteer requirements, and build college applications and resumes! This is also a great opportunity for all ages to learn about the impacts of invasive species.
The objective of the CBCW program is to educate boaters about invasive species and how to prevent the spread. The DLIA receives a $12 credit towards our grant for every hour of volunteer time. Give back to Deer Lake this summer! If you are interested contact Kate Wright at environmental@deerlakewi.com please.
