Fundraising
To raise funds for maintaining the aerators, fish stocking, and establish a fund for AIS mitigation, PCLA raises funds through grants, annual dues, and our annual lake picnic and raffle held in July each year.
After years of mailing out raffle tickets to each PCLA member, in 2025 we are making a significant change in the manner of distribution. That change will require the involvement and help of all our PCLA members to make this raffle sale a success. We know we can count on you!
In 2025 the first place raffle prize will be a private one hour airplane ride for two people in a Cessna !!!!
The raffle winner and a person of their choice will receive a special, customized sightseeing tour above the trees for a birds-eye view of any local lake, the homes of friends and family, or to see the fall colors in a spectacular way. The flight path and destination ideas will be decided between the raffle winner and the captain. Mike and Pari Schilz are generously donating this one-hour flight for two as the headliner raffle prize. Thanks to them for this great fundraiser offering. What an opportunity!
The 2nd place raffle prize is $500 cash, and 3rd place is $250.
Raffle tickets are $10 each. We are selling only 1000 tickets this year, so there are great odds of winning!
