They have raised $105,000.00 from private individuals. All of the Lake Cities have pledged, however only two have paid. It is important to have a successful fundraising program this year in order to receive matching funds from the Corp of Engineers /DNR next year. The LMCD has sent out a request for bids to do the necessary work. The problems involved with the low lake level is another area upon which they are focusing.
