We have
important information for our Members!
In an
effort to keep current with Internal Revenue Codes and at
the same time simplifying the language of our By-Laws, we
have devoted much of the past year to the task of drafting a
more current, more compliant and easier to read version of
the Torch Lake Protection Alliance By-Laws. You will
be receiving a copy of these new By-Laws in the mail just
after July 4th. We will also include a brief summary
of the new By-Laws. At the 2009 August 4 Annual
Meeting we will ask you to ratify these By-Laws.
Please bring this information with you to the Annual
Meeting. If you have any questions regarding the
By-Laws, or any other issue, please call us before the
August 4 meeting so that we may have the time and resources
to effectively answer you. 231-409-7034.
Your Taste
of Torch Invitation will also be included in this mailing.
To read
and download a copy of the existing By-Laws, please click on

offer our members so please be

fun place for you and your family to visit. We welcome your
feedback: your comments, questions, and recommendations, our goal is
to make this site a valuable tool for our members and a way for
non-members to see the value in becoming a member of our
organization.
Membership

riparians who regard the preservation of Torch Lake a top priority,
enabling this generation and those of the future to enjoy full use
of this geological jewel. We aim to be good neighbors within
our communities; keeping informed and prepared thus insuring safe
and enjoyable uses of the lake by everyone. We will be
knowledgeable teachers; providing necessary information, guidance,
leadership and opportunities for the entire community to learn the
best ways in which to work together for the benefit of the lake.
