Program – Nate Bosch, Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams. Our Mission ~ Making our lakes and streams clean, healthy, safe and beautiful.

The Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams is a research and education center based at Grace College in Winona Lake, Ind. Our organization recommends lake-focused best-practices, based on thorough research, and helps local families and businesses adopt them.

We do that in three ways: conducting research, providing resources, engaging and educating residents, and collaborating with local organizations. Our goal? To make the freshwater lakes and streams of Kosciusko County clean, healthy, safe, and beautiful.

Next week’s Program – will be our Optimist singers for the Christmas program
