VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Lake Redstone Protection District (LRPD) relies on volunteers to accomplish much of the important work in the district. As we embark on new initiatives and fulfilling grant requirements, our volunteer needs are constantly changing. We have some significant and challenging work to do with regards to the following efforts:

 

➢   We need one or more volunteers with organizational skills to help the LRPD continue to sort our volumes of paper, studies, legal opinions, agendas, minutes etc. The records are kept at the La Valle Town Hall, so this is an indoor job. One volunteer who got a great start on this project has moved, but may be available to train new volunteers. You will learn a lot about our activities and our history. Contact board members Paul Burke or Ken Keegstra.

➢     Special events such as the Annual Meeting, or other special meetings called by the board need organizers and set up people. We especially need help preparing for the Annual Meeting coming up in August, 2018. Contact any LRPD board member if you are willing to help.

➢     Our Clean Boats Clean Waters initiative has been staffed with paid employees the last three years. Again this year we are searching for one or two people to work this job, but also for volunteers who are willing to be trained and spend some time at boat landings. The pay is competitive and the responsibilities include boat inspections at our landings and educating boaters about invasive species that are transported via boats and trailers. An outgoing outdoors person who is interested in preserving our lake health would be perfect. Contact board member Chuck Ecklund if you are interested in the paid positions or are willing to volunteer a few hours.

 

If you want to volunteer for any LRPD jobs listed above or simply want to become involved, we have interesting work and talented people to help train you.  We want to expand the number of volunteers and broaden our communications efforts to inform and educate the Lake Redstone community. Consider joining our enthusiastic team of volunteers.  For life long learners, this is a great opportunity!!  Please contact us at lrpd.board@gmail.com
