From protecting the lake from invasives and pollution,
to providing community events, the SLA is an
invaluable asset to the Paradox and Schroon Lake
communities.

The Schroon Lake Association has been advocating for Schroon
Lake since 1911...
You will find out more about the association and its rich history in one
of the first articles, written by Mark Granger, President of the SLA. As I
have learned while compiling this magazine, the SLA does so much
more than many people realize. It is an organization worth joining,
supporting, and volunteering for if we hope to preserve our lakes for
our children, grandchildren, and generations to come.
My hope is that you come to share this opinion as you read this edition
of the magazine and are inspired to join, donate, and/or volunteer. Get
involved! Every action, no matter how small, will support the SLA's
mission to protect and maintain Schroon Lake.
The printed edition of this magazine will focus on articles and stories
written by the SLA's very own members. The online edition will include
the above as well as useful reports on the state of the lake, invasive
species, and other information that will be of interest to you. Please
visit the SLA website at schroonlakeassociation.com to view the online
edition.
