The Pickerel Lake Conservancy Board held it’s 2nd annual winter meeting January 26th via teleconference. With an ambitious agenda, the most significant accomplishment was officially dissolving GPLA and launching your new 501(c)(3) nonprofit Pickerel lake Conservancy. To summarize, the general membership voted last August to transition to a nonprofit public charity pending IRS approval. For the past 15 months, a team of Board members has been working to accomplish this goal. January 9th, 2013 we received a letter from the Department of the Treasury stating the Pickerel Lake Conservancy is officially a tax exempt organization. As a public charity, your tax deductible memberships and contributions will advance the Conservancy’s mission “to protect the water quality, natural resources and ecosystems of Pickerel Lake and the surrounding watershed by promoting conservation”. Our nonprofit committee received very generous assistance from Mr. Jim Wiederrich and staff, without which this would still be a dream. The Board is confident your new corporate entity, Pickerel Lake Conservancy, will position us well into the future. Since your Board draws no salary, memberships and contributions work very efficiently toward our mission.
