We are currently in the early stages of forming as a chapter of the Rock River Coalition, with our first planning meeting later this month. We hope to work with various community members, groups and other agencies to develop and implement plans that benefit the health of our lakes and the creek. Specifically, we'd like to align our future plans with those of the Lakes Advisory Committee and find ways to collaborate. We'll be conducting clean-up events at the creek on April 26th and weekly throughout the summer. Please feel free to reach out directly with any questions. Weigeljeffrey3@gmail.com  5.
