Hello to the good folks in the Lake St. Catherine community.
It's that time of year again... As the Lake St. Catherine Association heads into its 72nd year, we are asking for your support for the 2025 season.
What does the LSCA do for Lake St. Catherine? Please check out our recently published 2024 Year In Review:
LSCA's 2024 Year In Review
Your membership contributions & donations, along with allocations from the towns of Wells & Poultney, and grants earned from the state and the Lake Champlain Basin Program & NEIWPCC help us to fulfill our mission of the preservation, protection, and maintenance of Lake St. Catherine by helping to fund important lake programs and projects. Some of which include: water quality improvement programs like Lake Wise, the LSC Stormwater Master Plan, and the Lake St. Catherine Watershed Action Plan, and our aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention and control programs like our Greeter, Vermont Invasive Patroller (VIP), and Milfoil Control Programs. You can learn all about these initiatives on our website: https://lakestcatherine.org.
We have multiple membership levels available. These include memberships for cottage owners, business sponsors, and our Supporter Of LSC level for those of you who love LSC but are not a cottage owner (like family members of property owners, renters and those who use the lake for recreation).
There are two easy ways to renew or become a member of the LSCA.
Soon, you will be receiving a mailing from us that contains the 2025 Membership Form. You can also download a copy by clicking here: 2025 Membership Form - just print and fill out the form, then mail it in with your check to:
Lake St. Catherine Association
PO Box 631
Wells, VT 05774
Or, you can renew or become a member on our website. If you were a member in 2024, click here to renew: https://lakestcatherine.org/membership-renewal, or click here to become a new member: https://lakestcatherine.org/become-a-member - and you can pay your dues online with your credit card. If you were a member last year (whether you paid by check or online by credit card), the website has an account ready for you. If you don't remember your password, or have never logged in, please click here: https://lakestcatherine.org/Sys/ResetPasswordRequest to set or reset your password.
We'd also like to encourage you to check with your employer to see if they have an Employer Matching Gift Program for charitable donations. Many generous businesses will match donations made by their employees through these programs. So, take a look - you may be able to double your contribution!
Upon receiving your membership contribution, we’ll send you the 2025 membership package, which will include: your receipt, a '2025 Member' sticker for your LSCA window card (or a card & sticker for new members), a hand-written thank you note, and a new, beautifully designed 3" x 3" iron-on patch depicting a brown trout.
We'd like to thank LSC camp owner Andrew Gioulis (VT Lake House) for again providing a fantastic design for the 2025 patch, which you can see below:
We are happy to report that in 2024, we had 378 paid members, which includes 15 Business Sponsors. The average contribution of our members was $206 - THANK YOU! Your membership dues and additional contributions over and above our base $100 membership level are crucial to funding our important lake programs. As always, we ask you to help us to spread the word by discussing the LSCA with your neighbors. We are hoping to get our membership to over 400 this year.
We will continue to work hard for Lake St. Catherine to earn your support.
Thank you for your support of the LSCA!
- The Trustees of the Lake St. Catherine Association
