LITTLE SWAN LAKE IS CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS

 

Volunteers are critical partners of the Little Swan Lake Community,
We need YOU!


Have you ever wondered why Little Swan Lake is such a gem?  It’s because of people – Volunteers – who take pride in maintaining all the good things we enjoy about our community—such as the beautiful lake, the fishing & boating, skiing & tubing, the clubhouse & gardens, the out-lots and roads. We owe a lot to our current volunteers and we would like to offer YOU the chance to take part in preserving all the great things you enjoy about Little Swan Lake. There are spots open on many committees, so please look over the list below and let us know what you might be interested in volunteering for. Several Board positions will also be open next Fall 2015. Please consider being part of the bigger picture – become a Little Swan Lake volunteer.
