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. 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. The annual community BBQ dinner was held in February 2025. Many new lake residents were in attendance and appreciated the efforts of all the lake watch volunteers. Discussions to place Triploid grass carp into Bear Lake for hydrilla control were started and a target date for Fall 2025 was decided on. 0 5018 5018 Arthur Jay Goebel President 0.25 0 0 0 Robert Shields Vice-President 1 0 0 0 Tim Clifford Treasurer 1 0 0 0 George Helm Secretary 0.25 0 0 0 Bill Houston Director 0.5 0 0 0 Nancy Dunn Director 2.7 0 0 0 Judy Ihrig Director 1 0 0 0 Valerie Kenski Director 0.25 0 0 0 Wayne Taylor Director 0.25 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 3850 183902 4962 2995 3530 199239 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3850 183902 4962 2995 3530 199239 0 199239 1 7 7 6 6 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 120 0 320 135 765 1340 200606 0 0.99319 0.99590 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Advertising Sales; New Account Incentives; Uncategorized Income Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 New account incentive- $750; Miscellaneous revenue- $15 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Bank Charges;23|Canal Cleaning;2500|Computer and Internet;79|Business Licenses and Permits;263|Website;120|Compliance Assurance;85|Insurance;522|Office and Meeting Supplies;89|Software;84|Dinner Meetings;2228^Total;5993^ Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 Credit transfer from other BLPA account We filed form 8868 and were granted an extension of time to file.
