Call for Trustees and Officers

Hello neighbors!

It’s hard to believe the 2016 boating season is coming to an end. The coming of fall means our annual meeting and elections. The 2016-2017 season elections will take place October 19 at 7:30 pm at the Highland Sr. Center.

If you are interested in becoming a trustee for your district or would like to run for one of the five (5) officer positions, please ADD A COMMENT TO THIS POST and share:

  • Your name
  • Your district
  • What position you are running for
  • Why you would like this position

Any full-time DLPOA resident is eligible.  Learn more about district reps and officers here.

Please note that in addition to voting for new trustees and officers, there will also be a vote on proposed changes to the by-laws, which have been brought forth by the By-Law Committee. You can see the full by-laws with proposed changes here. Only one vote per household will be accepted. Residency will be verified, so please bring a form of identification with your address. You must be present to vote.

The fall newsletter should hit your mailbox (or inbox) soon. You may also get a digital copy of the newsletter here. This newsletter contains important information about what’s been going on around the lake. The topics addressed will also be discussed in the fall meeting.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Reminder: September 21 Meeting

This is a reminder that the September meeting will take place Wednesday, Sept 21 at 7:30 pm and at Highland Sr. Center.


This month we will get an update from the Muck Remediation committee regarding recommended next steps. We will also discuss topics for the fall newsletter and the fall meeting, during which elections will be held. The Fall Meeting & Elections will be held on October 19 at 7:30pm. Topics for discussion will be limited in order to allow time for elections.

This is a public meeting and all DLPOA residents are welcome to attend. We have received numerous requests from regular attendees to keep the meeting focus on new topics. For those of you planning to attend who have not attended past meetings, we welcome you to review the meeting minutes for past meetings for any topics that may have already been discussed. We will not revisit old topics in meetings moving forward, unless there is new information to communicate and discuss. Thank you!

No June Meeting

Hello friends,

Please note that there will be no DLPOA meeting in June, as multiple members of the board are unable to attend, and because new topics of discussion are limited.

We want to ensure you all know you have a mechanism to be heard in between meetings!  Please feel free to continue to engage with Officers and the Board by calling the hotline, sending us an email, or posting on this website’s discussion board.

Enjoy your month off and this lovely June weather!
