WORKING WITH OUR GOVERNMENT PARTNERS TO KEEP LAKE MONROE SPARKLING. Last week, we welcomed Susan Raisor, Senior Environmental Manager with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), along with a crew of her colleagues, to our facility for our annual pump-out inspection—and we passed with flying colors!

As a quick reminder, LMSA received a substantial grant from the state and federal governments several years ago when we installed our updated equipment. This funding was made possible through the Clean Vessel Act Pumpout Program (CVA/CTAP) and the Sport Fish Restoration Program. The grant requires an annual inspection to ensure we keep everything running properly and protect our waters.

In addition to the boat pump, those grant funds also provided our upgraded dump station for portapotties. To keep our facility top-notch, the club purchased new holding tanks and resurfaced the dock this year. It all looks fantastic!

A huge shout-out to club member Eric Thompson! Eric helps maintain the pump and handles the opening and closing of the system each spring and fall. Thank you for your hard work, Eric!

Here’s to keeping our club beautiful and our waters clean!

GRAB A TOOL AND HELP US SHINE. After high water forced us to postpone our Open House earlier this summer, we are finally ready to welcome the general public to our club on Saturday, September 19, 2026! The long-term success of the Lake Monroe Sailing Association relies heavily on inviting new people into our ranks, and this rescheduled event is our premier opportunity to make a spectacular first impression.

To ensure our facilities look absolutely tip-top for our guests, we are calling all members to join us for a Club Work Day on Sunday, September 13, 2026. I apologize for this late notice, but we will kick things off at 8:00 AM and wrap up around 3:00 PM (though you are welcome to stay longer if you find more projects to tackle!).

How to RSVP: If you plan to attend, please send an email to [email protected]. or just comment below. Or just show up on work day.

We have most tools, but please consider bringing an extra string trimmer if you have one!

Why Your Participation Matters:

Direct Club Impact: Shape how the public views our community after this long-awaited event.

Securing Our Future: A beautiful, clean facility actively convinces visitors to become long-term members.

Earn Volunteer Hours: This is an excellent opportunity to log volunteer hours while supporting the club.

Camaraderie: A wonderful excuse to work alongside your fellow sailors and strengthen our community bonds.

ONE LESSON, ONE WEEK, ONE NEW BOAT OWNER. After taking sailing lessons last week, Matt Ashcroft (from Columbus, IN) bought a boat and officially joined the club this week! Matt and his son, Hudson, were down at the lake when we caught up with them to find out about his sudden return to the sport. Matt explained that he had sailed years ago and took our ASA 101 course to see if it would still spark that old passion. Clearly, the answer was a resounding yes!

Please take a moment to give a warm welcome to Matt and his wife, Jami, to the club.

Also, a huge shout-out to LMSA-certified instructor Steve Backs for ensuring Matt had a fantastic experience during his lessons!

HANGING AROUND THE BAHAMAS. Here is a recent photo former LMSA member and club friend Robbie Olsen sent us last week. It's a picture of him along with an LMSA burgee he hung in the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. The next time you're in the Exumas in the Bahamas, make sure you stop in there, snap a photo, and share your own adventure with us!

LIGHT UP YOUR LABOR DAY WEEKEND AT LAKE MONROE. Attention LMSA members! Just a quick reminder that the Lake Monroe fireworks are happening this Labor Day weekend. Since the Fourth of July show was postponed due to high water levels and flooding, Fourwinds Lakeside Inn & Marina will be launching their rescheduled fireworks display on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at dusk. While LMSA isn't hosting an official club event or watch party for this, we highly encourage everyone to take their boats out on the water to enjoy the show from the lake!

LMSA PLANS TO LAUNCH NEW ONLINE SHIP STORE. We are excited to announce that we're launching a brand-new online ship store with a new vendor. For a sneak peek, here is a photo of our Youth Camp Director, Lauren Morrison, wearing a sharp new polo featuring the LMSA logo. This is just one of the options currently under consideration! Our goal is to keep things simple, high-quality, and classic. We are looking to start with a core lineup, including:
Men's and women's polos
Long-sleeve sport shirts (perfect for those breezy days on the water)
Hats
Gloves
A few other LMSA essentials
We hope to have some items with our logo as well as our burgee. Keep a lookout for more information over the coming weeks as we finalize the details. We want to hear from you! Since this store is for you, what gear or items would you love to see? If you have any specific requests or suggestions, please let us know in the comments below!
