Valued FoKLSS members - you are invited to join our Beach Clean up in Nelson

Greetings!,

August is here. We hope you are making the most of it and enjoying some lazy days on or in the Lake, especially when the skies are clear and the air is fresh.

We are happy to tell you that, since our members' meeting on 20 June, we have been making steady progress. Several of you have stepped forward to help in different ways. This is so encouraging. Thank you. Please, do not hesitate, if you have any time or skills to offer; we'd just love to hear from you. Y ou can get in touch here anytime and we will get right back to you.

We are also delighted to announce our first Beach Clean up of the summer. It will be in Nelson. The details are below, and we are hoping you will be able to join us. It is such a good opportunity to reconnect with old friends, meet new volunteers and enjoy time by our beautiful Lake while giving our shoreline a helping hand.

We value your support and hope to hear from you or see you soon.

Making a tangible difference for our aquatic friends.
Snacks and refreshments to keep your energy tides high.

How You Can Help: Your enthusiasm and helping hands are all we need to turn the tide against lake litter. Whether you're a seasoned cleanup veteran or just dipping your toes in for the first time, every bit counts!

We will supply some equipment, but if you have any of the following, please bring it!
