Happy 4th of July!Thanks to the many people who helped gather these pictures!LMPOCLICK HERE FOR 2021 LMPO ANNUAL MEETING NOTESClick on below image for complete information on REAL IDsHave you paid your LMPO dues?
Only $25 per property. So what does that money go towards? 1. BUOYS - Take them out each fall, clean, repair, replace as needed and again put them out each summer. (Also the insurance and upkeep of the LMPO pontoon boat used.)
2. DAM - We pay taxes, maintenance and inspection (inspection was $1400 this year) for the dam property. 3. MAPS - We purchase lake maps for the membership every 5 years, and we distribute complimentary copies of the lake directory to dues paying members. 4. LAKE QUALITY - We also test multiple sites around the lake for coliform bacteria, and we pay for of the dam. We have funds earmarked for fish cribs, but progress has been limited by the DNR’s restrictive permitting. 5. SPECIAL PROJECTS - We also support special projects that benefit the community. We purchased the dock for the Michigamme Township Park and this year we donated $1400 toward a modern sound system for the Township Hall’s gymnasium. We regularly donate to the July 4th Committee and the museum’s annual fundraisers. 6. MICHIGAMME MESSENGER - This is the yearly newsletter that was given out at the annual meeting. We unfortunately have had difficulty resurrecting the Michigamme Messenger. Any Volunteers? 7. ANNUAL MEETING- Last, but certainly important. The donuts, hot dogs and chicken for the meeting. Museum still needs

Not Pictured: Bob DellAngelo and Karen Johnson Helping us is Helping you! The Michigamme-Spurr Fire Department is in the early stages of fundraising for a rescue boat! We are hoping to raise about $25,000 for a Whaly 500 Pro. It is a composite, foam filled boat that is unsinkable. Its front folds down like a landing craft making it easier to enter from shore and easier to pull people into from the lake.
With increased activity on all of our lakes in the past few years, comes the increasing need for this. Currently we use our own boats or wait 30 - 40 minutes for a rescue boat to come from Negaunee or L’Anse. We will also be able to use this boat to haul portable pumps, to supply water and fight fires. We are in the process of brainstorming for fundraisers. We are also accepting donations. Any donations can be dropped off at Michigamme or Spurr township Halls, marked “rescue boat”. (Or sent in care of Michigamme Township at PO Box 220 Michigamme, MI 49861) I will keep everyone posted as we move forward. Thank you! CELEBRATE
