Pat Christie covered the highlights of the DLNA financials.

There was a discussion of the one open board position, please let us know if you're interested in serving.

Both David Skirvin and Brian Green were acknowledged as there was a thank you party held at Kent and Anne Norris house in their honor.

DLWID Lake Manager Josh Brainerd provided an update on DLWID projects and DLNA partnership. Josh spoke about the current aeration project and the committee's made up of many DLNA members. Members brought us several issues, The topic of gnats came up and how to combat them. They appear a few times a year. Not much to do other than to let them fly. ODFW fish stocking in D Lake was brought up; Steve Brown had the statistics of approximately 20,000 fish annually legal/large/trophy sizes typically are the possibilities.

Nationbuilder Our New Online Environment

NB-Intro.png

Last year the DLNA received official designation from the IRS as a 501.c.3 tax exempt public benefit corporation. This was wonderful news as it means you donations to us can now be declared in your tax computations.  It is also wonderful as we as an organization will not need to pay taxes on the moneys we raise. 

This increase in status meant to us that we had to up our game as an organization.  In order to accomplish this we have made the decision to move our operation to a online environment called NationBuilder.  NationBuilder is a “community organizing system”,  a cohesive set of tools to help organizations coordinate their people, web pages, finances, and online communications in pursuit of a goal.  I have used the winter season to complete conversion to this new platform; it was quite an undertaking but now it is behind us.  At first glance you might think this is just a new website, but it is oh so much more.  Let’s take a moment a take a tour of the new dlakeoregon.com .

Take Action / Join

It all begins with you. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of this new online environment is your ability to join in on the DLNA community. To achieve our mission, we believe in combining online and offline activism. We invite all of our neighbors to join in and participate in our online community.  

Only registered neighbors have access to certain areas of our online site.  Extra features are contained in the "Action Panel" which appears when logged in the right margins of this site.  There you will be able to interact directly with the Devils Lake Neighborhood Association as well as other DLNA members.  If you have already registered make sure you are logged in to access this additional information.  If you have yet to sign up by entering your email address and clicking the join button in the upper right corner of this site.  Let’s take a look at what else you can find on dlakeoregon.com organized by what’s available to the public and what’s available to members.
