Our family has been fortunate to be a part of the Eagle Lake community since 2002 - part time initially, and then John and I moved here full time in 2019.  We have three adult children who spent their formative years hanging out both in and around Eagle Lake.  John’s grandparents, Dr. Gordon and Rhea Schulz, owned a home on the lake in the 1950’s, which is how we were introduced to this special place.  Professionally, I was a teacher for 20+ years and then several years ago transitioned to Youth Services Librarian at one of the local public libraries.  I also serve on the Pan Yack Park neighborhood Board of Directors.

 

We have enjoyed making so many wonderful friends all around the lake, and much of this good fortune started by getting involved with the Eagle Lake Improvement Association.  I can’t say enough good things about the diverse personalities and immense talents of neighbors volunteering to make Eagle Lake such an engaging place to live.

 

ELIA officially hosts several social gatherings each summer, such as the Welcome New Neighbor Party in June, Boat Parade in July, as well as the Regatta and Wavemaker Cocktail Party both traditionally in August.  The TeamReach app has also provided a fun and easy format to connect neighbors looking to plan social outings and get recommendations.

 

Improving lake water quality and health is a big topic for Eagle Lake, as well as lakes all over Wisconsin.  We are always looking for more community members to collaborate on these complex environmental efforts with their time and talents.  Please contact ELIA if you would like to learn more and become involved!

 

I grew up in Eagle Lake Terrace and for the last 10 years or so, I’ve lived on the East Shore with my husband, Brian, and three of our children.  As the 6th generation of my family to live here, I feel a strong sense of stewardship to maintain the quality of life, preserving land and water. My favorite things about living on Eagle Lake include sunsets coloring the water and sky, watching storms roll across the lake from the west, and being out on the water or ice with family and friends, or just myself. In addition to being an ELIA board member, I’m a commissioner for the Eagle Lake Sewer Utility District, a Kan-Do 4-H leader, a St. Mary-Dover parishioner and active at Catholic Central High School. For work, I’m a tour guide for Milwaukee Food & City Tours, and the Special Events & Public Relations Director for the Geneva Theater, Lake Geneva, and Plaza Theater, Burlington.

 

 

Born and raised in the Chicago area, I was very fortunate to spend summers with my grandparents on Eagle Lake where many fond memories were made.  I enjoyed sunny days of boating, swimming and fishing (great meals too).  In 2000, I began residing here full time enabling me to enjoy peacefulness and beauty every day!  I have recently retired from a fulfilling career in medical imaging.  My current roles include being a director for the Eagle Lake Manor Community Association (ELMCA), support to Eagle Lake Management District (ELMD) weed harvesting and a member of the watershed partnership.  Lake health is a priority to me as well as meeting great people and participating in many neighborhood activities.  I look forward to the privilege of supporting Eagle Lake Improvement Association (ELIA), it’s members and the community, pursuing a better lake environment for future generations.

 

Born and raised in Racine, until we moved to Florida in 1986.  With all my work experiences, it’s been in finance.  Have enjoyed the last 45 summers on Eagle Lake.  (Even in Florida I’m close to water).  My sons have spent many summers with their grandparents on Eagle Lake.  My oldest learned to fish here and now he’s an avid deep-sea fisherman.  The Eagle Lake community is the greatest place to be.  I’m so happy to be part of the Eagle Lake Improvement Association.
