Approximately 20 members in were in attendance on June 10, 2017 at the Driftwood Public Library for the DLNA Annual meeting. Pat Christie covered the highlights of the DLNA financials. Steve Brown asked if we could break out Business from individuals so we could see where our fundraising efforts may need to be focused in the future. Fireworks funds are looking good as we are nearing the required funds to pay for the show. There is an available general fund balance of $4,383.51 which includes a donation by CLEAN as they closed that PAC. There was a discussion of the one open board position, please let us know if you're interested in serving. DLWID May Election results were discussed with introductions to Steve Brown and Kathy Kremer. 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. This year we received 13,500 legal and 7,500 large. More information is available at this link.

The DLWID Project Committee and members of the DLNA came together on Tuesday, May 16 for our First Annual Devils Lake Water Improvement District lake roadside clean-up.

East Devils Lake Road was their first target. Neither rain nor sleet nor sun kept them from their appointed rounds. They suffered all manor of weather. 3 1/2 hours of clean up resulted in 520 pounds of trash. A job well done by a wonderful crew.  Many thanks to North Lincoln Sanitary for their support.  

We recently announced the Fourth Annual Devils Lake Neighborhood Association Fireworks display scheduled Monday July 3rd.  We still have a long way to go to fund this year’s display and to that end we would like to invite you to join us on the lake this holiday weekend.

The DLNA Fireworks Barge will be parked in front of Steve Brown’s House just east of Regatta Park.  This year one side will be attached to land in Steve’s backyard so you may come by land or by sea.

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.
