Shore Captains
 

​

Shore Captains are Farm Island Lake residents who have volunteered to help provide lake users and residents with lake related information by:

  • Welcoming new residents and making them aware of lake issues(e.g. Invasive Species controls) and opportunities.

  • Helping disseminate late breaking news(e.g. no-wake order in 2012 due to high water).

  • Providing input to the FILIA board on issues and opportunities based on feedback from their area.
