CLSA - WHAT WE DO
The Clear Lake Stewardship Association (CLSA) area of interest is the Clear Lake basin.
We strive to protect the environmental health of Clear Lake for use by the community and as a natural habitat. The CLSA aids in the regeneration and sustainability of Clear Lake through monitoring, education and communication.
The CLSA works in partnership with the town of Espanola, the property owners and the residents of Clear Lake and all levels of government to promote good stewardship practices.
The CLSA has established an executive that meets on a regular basis and holds general meetings at appropriate intervals.

ContinueWOW!Another successful Yard Sale. we raised $1610.40 - a record breaker.As is usual it takes a lot of wonderful donations and an army of volunteers to pull off an event like this.First and as always, I want to thank those of you who donated items - it would not be much of a fund raiser if you did not allow us to sell your stuff - some of which we know you were happy to let go of; others things that were precious and likely full of memories. We tried to treat each and every item with respect. Know too that anything that we did not sell was given to the Hospital Auxiliary and or to Community Living right here in Espanola.We thank the Town of Espanola for allowing us to use Clear Lake Beach Park it is the perfect and very appropriate location.. Also, we thank the Espanola Curing Club for (once again) letting us borrow tables. This year we got a surprise contribution from FreshCo in the form of 2 additional tables that we have passed on to Community Living for their Yard Sale at the end of the month. Win, win win.And our volunteers - what an amazing bunch. Debbie, Heather M, Gary (Mr. Fixit) , Kathy, Dennis, Greg and Brian who all gave up a beautiful Friday afternoon to run the roads to collect tables then donations then sort and price them. Then they are bundled back up for transport to the Beach - Herculean in my mind. This time around we had the added benefit of a large trailer (Brian you were inspired to suggest we use it) and a not as large one (Dennis you too - inspired!).…
IT IS A GO
