West Battle Lake Beach Captains

Greetings Fellow WBLLA Members,

One item that came up today at our WBLLA Fall Board Meeting was to re-energize the concept of having Beach Captains for all 27 beach locations on West Battle Lake to encourage membership in the West Battle Lake Lakeshore Association (WBLLA) and build connectivity between property owners – can be a fun way to meet people too!

See attached image of West Battle Lake Beach locations

The role of this Beach Captain would be to go and greet your local neighbors on your associated beach to familiarize them with the West Battle Lake Lakeshore Association (WBLLA) and to invite them to join the West Battle Lake Lakeshore Association if not already a member. The Beach Captain role would inform folks of the things our WBLLA supports with the $40 annual membership and fish fund donations.

Any Beach Captain volunteer will be given coaching and material to inform them on efforts that WBLLA supports and funds.

East Battle Lake has successfully used this Beach Captain concept for years to build their Association membership and attendance at their annual meeting.

Wish to know more and Volunteer to be a Beach Captain?

Please reply to the WBLLA email below with your contact information

West Public Access Clean Out

September 1, 2024

This morning the first public access sand cleanout effort started funded by the West Battle Lake Lakeshore Association. As mentioned, we will continue doing periodic cleanouts as needed through September into October on a as needed basis to keep the west public access in town more open (deeper) for boats and pontoons.
