This is achieved through water quality monitoring, scientific understanding, public education, governmental intervention, and watershed improvements for the enhancement and preservation of the water quality and biological integrity of clean lakes. Bear Lake Preservation Association (BLPA) represents the residents of Lake Asher, Bear Lake, Little Bear Lake and Cub Lake. Every year a newsletter is written and produced by BLPA and mailed to all of the lake residents in the four lakes area. We maintain and update the BLPA website periodically. This communication keeps the lake residents current on the health and quality of the lake waters. Bear Lake Preservation Association volunteers submit monthly lake water samples to University of Florida IFAS Lake watch for analysis and reports of lake water conditions for all four lakes. Additionally, BLPA maintains a healthy relationship with the Seminole County commissioners for the four lakes area. BLPA volunteers work closely with Seminole County storm water engineers and SJRWMD officials to insure the lake residents' concerns are conveyed to each governing body. The 2023/2024 year included many accomplishments. The newsletter and Fall BBQ flyer were sent out in October 2023. The fall general meeting for the area featured Dr. Harvey Harper with ERD and an alum update for Bear Lake including the obstacles with DEP. Further alum treatment for Bear Lake is on hold for now. BLPA supported and funded the purchase of 84 triploid carp to manage SAV in Little Bear Lake. The fall community dinner featured a presentation by Lake watch (UF/IFAS) with Jason "Mo" Bennet (Regional coordinator for the Bear Lakes area). Nancy Dunn and the volunteers for the Lake Watch program were honored at the annual meeting this past spring with UF/IFAS in Seminole County. Continued efforts are carried out to include the new personnel within the Seminole County storm water division and SJRWMD. 0 4010 4010 Arthur Jay Goebel President 1 0 0 0 Robert Shields Vice-President 1 0 0 0 Tim Clifford Treasurer 1 0 0 0 George Helm Secretary 1 0 0 0 Bill Houston Director 2 0 0 0 Nancy Dunn Director 2.7 0 0 0 Judy Ihrig Director 1 0 0 0 Valerie Kenski Director 1 0 0 0 Wayne Taylor Director 1.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL Jim Maki 3210 Holliday Avenue Apopka FL 32703 4072125129 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 4735 3850 183902 4962 2995 200444 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4735 3850 183902 4962 2995 200444 0 200444 4 1 7 7 6 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 225 120 0 320 135 800 201269 0 0.99590 0.99512 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Advertising Sales; Uncategorized Income Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Advertising Sales- $35; Uncategorized Income- $100 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Computer and Internet;59|Bank Charges;23|Business Licenses and Permits;61|Website;24|Isurance;522|Office Supplies;152|Prizes;18|Special Events;395|Software;84|Little Bear Lake Carp;1247|Signage;276|Public Meetings;457|Uncategorized Expense;154^Total;3472^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Reconciliation Discrepancies
