As we begin a new year, we thank all our members for generously supporting the Glen Lake Association (GLA) in 2025. Because of your commitment, the GLA accomplished so much last year—and none of it would have been possible without you. We are truly grateful for your partnership and hope you will join us again this year.
Did you know that most of the GLA’s operating budget comes directly from membership dues? It’s true! As a 501(c)(3) organization, this crucial funding enables us to fulfill our mission of preserving and protecting the water quality, natural resources, and quality of life in the Glen Lake/Crystal River Watershed.
Membership Renewal for 2026 is Now Open
If you do not already have an automatically recurring membership, we invite you to renew before January 31 to ensure your 2026 membership is active. Your membership dues are a tax-deductible donation that sustains our essential operations and protects the waters you love.
While membership begins with an annual contribution of $50, it takes an average contribution of $500 per member to completely cover the GLA’s annual budget.
Renew your membership or join the Glen Lake Association for the first time online or by mailing a check to P.O. Box 551, Glen Arbor, MI 49636.
Your support directly funds essential programs such as:
- Water quality monitoring and testing
- Invasive species prevention, eradication, and control
- Community-wide education and outreach
- Shoreline and streambank consultations
Every dollar strengthens our ability to safeguard this watershed—today and for generations to come.
Set up an automatic, annually renewing membership subscription to make an even bigger impact! Automatically renewing memberships ensure your gift is made on January 31 of each year. This helps us plan for the future and focus on our mission.
New Online Giving Website, New Logins
We’re excited to share that we’ve launched a new and improved online giving website. This upgrade will make it easier than ever to manage your membership, view your giving history, and update your information—all in one convenient place.

To create your new account:
