THANK YOU to all our members + visitors who
joined us for the ABA September Meet & Mingle
at Alton Bay Christian Conference Center!
 
We were thrilled to have Lake Winnipesaukee Association as our Member of the Month for September! Special thanks to Alton Bay Christian Retreat Center for hosting us and providing lunch for us! 
Bree Rossiter and Joanne Haight joined us, sharing the amazing work the LWA is doing to protect the lake’s water quality. They discussed their efforts in testing for phosphorus, nitrogen, algae blooms, oxygen levels, and water clarity to keep the lake healthy and vibrant. 

The LWA is also organizing a Lake Winnipesaukee clean-up event on
October 12th as well as looking for volunteers to join their committee to help preserve the beauty of Lake Winnipesaukee.
