At the Manitowoc County Lakes Annual Banquet on October 11, we proudly recognized two extraordinary citizens whose commitment and service embody the very heart of the MCLA mission.
Mike Strebe
As a graduate of the Lake Leaders Program and President of the Town of Schleswig Sanitary District No. 1, Mike was instrumental in advancing a local ordinance to ban phosphorous fertilizers—preceding the statewide ban. He has overseen the weed harvesting program at Cedar Lake, serving both as a mechanic and operator. His commitment to addressing complex and often contentious lake management issues through diligent research reflects a deep dedication to environmental stewardship.

Vince Miller
Without being asked, for the last nineteen years from the time the ice goes out until it freezes the next winter, on a daily basis, Wince has been clearing various impediments from the Silver Lake overflow discharge grates. Hi ongoing passion and dedication exemplify what a volunteer should aspire to be!
