Welcome to 2020 and Lake Burton's Centennial Celebrations

Memorial Day will be here soon, and the centennial events we have been planning will begin in earnest.  Planning for these events is occurring weekly this winter by your board and centennial volunteers.

Our fundraising to support these activities also continues.  Many members have donated and become Centennial Member Sponsors.  This program is the backbone of our ability to make all this happen.  See the list of sponsors  here:  Centennial Member Sponsors.  The LBCA board is fully committed to this fundraiser with its efforts and donations.  Every board member is a Centennial Member Sponsor.  Join this group with a donation from you or your family.  The minimum donation is only $100 to become a sponsor.  Certain donation levels receive benefits.

These donations don’t just help us fund the 2020 centennial activities, they help support our volunteer fire departments and other local charities.  If successful in our efforts, we will also grow the capital resources of the LBCA for potential future needs.  Visit our Centennial Member Sponsor page to become a sponsor . . . or download and print this card that can be returned with your check:  2020 Centennial Donation Card
