Evening with Dean for Big Green was a Big Success! The GLA's first annual gala provided an evening for members and non-members to socialize and participate in fundraising efforts. We appreciate all who attended and tried their hand in our raffles and live auction! We also had a great response to our survey that was placed at each table. Because of your participation in the survey, we can better serve Green Lake and move forward in our efforts of conserving Green Lake and its watershed. Visit us on Facebook to see photos from the July 9 event.
