Event Hosted by the TMLIA for Senator Russ Feingold Wednesday, August 26th at 4:00pm
On behalf of the Tainter Menomin Lake Improvement Association (TMLIA), I ask that you consider attending an event hosted by the TMLIA for Senator Russ Feingold tomorrow at 4:00pm Wednesday, August 26th. The sole purpose of Senator Feingold's visit to Wolske Bay located in Menomonie, WI is to meet with TMLIA's Board of Directors to discuss options to clean up the Red Cedar Watershed Basin. Being the focus is not political in nature, we hope that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents show their support and attend this event. Your support is critical, as we need to give Senator Feingold a lasting impression that we have "total community support". The entire program will last approximately one half an hour and should be concluded by 4:30pm, as Senator Feingold has other commitments later in the evening.
In addition, on Sunday August 30th, we are hosting a pontoon ride for several area State Senator's, State Representatives, and Local Community Leaders. If you are unable to attend the event tomorrow, feel free to join us on Sunday afternoon at Jake's Supper Club at 2:00pm, located on Tainter Lake. We already have several confirmed attendees, so this will be another great event to show our law makers that we do care about our lakes and streams.
The TMLIA has renewed energy and a newly created strategic plan in place to accomplish our goals over the next ten (10) years. We are not asking anyone to make a determination as to whether anything can be done to clean-up our area lakes, rather remain neutral and attend this event as a sign of support for the TMLIA, Area Business's, and Menomonie's Commerce and Tourism Industries.
Our Board Members and Committee Chairs are very passionate about what they do, and I assure you we are making great strides toward short term and long term solutions that will benefit our community, business, and our grandchildren for many generations. One of our "strategic plan items", is to gain total community support and to be able to call on the community leaders for support during "critical events". This is one of those critical events where total community support and the power of people numbers could help make a difference in the perception of Senator Feingold's eyes.
If you plan on attending, you may want to consider arriving a little early to park up on Wilson Street and walk down the hill to Wolske Bay. I want to thank you in advance for considering this very important event for Dunn County and the City of Menomonie.
Sincerely,
George Brewe
Vice-President TMLIA

Fact Finding Meeting: Toxic Blue Green Algae Reduction - August 30, 2009 Time: 2PM
Fact Finding Meeting: Toxic Blue Green Algae Reduction
Host: Tainter-Menomin Lake Improvement Association
Date: August 30, 2009 Time: 2PM
Location: Jake’s Supper Club, Menomonie, WI (Directions enclosed)
We have invited the Governor and your elected officials to attend this meeting in August. We have also invited officials from those districts north and south of us….Nutrient loads which feed algae continue to flow downstream. The entire watershed of the Red Cedar needs assistance and is affecting the Mississippi River Basin and helps to create the "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico. We need you to come out and be counted as citizens who want to see change!!
The above picture was taken on Tainter Lake in August, 2008. The water was toxic! The Wisconsin Public Health Department has chosen this picture for their new website on Harmful Algae Blooms: Report an Illness www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/eh/bluegreenalgae
The problem on Lakes Tainter and Menomin has reached a level where we can no longer afford to sit back and wait for long-term solutions. We need to reduce the threat to our children, pets, livestock, and ourselves now. Urge your friends and neighbors to attend. This nation cannot afford to delay solutions to our water crises any longer.
Human Symptoms from exposure to blue green algae: sore throat, congestion, cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing, cough, rash, eye irritation, hives, earache, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, lethargy, abdominal pain, vertigo, agitation, difficulty breathing and weakness
REMEMBER: EVERTHING FLOWS DOWNSTREAM!! Support your Lake Association’s efforts to clean up our lakes. Contact your elected officials and ask them to support initiatives to reduce the green.
Directions:
Follow Highway 25 North from Menomonie. Turn right on County Road D and follow to Jake's
