GET INVOLVED

Though the past two years have proved challenging in myriad ways for everyone, we were fortunate enough this year to be able to continue some of our programs without interruption, resume others we had to skip last year, and lay the groundwork for some exciting new opportunities! Some of our accomplishments:

Saturday, July 3rd, 2021 marked FLG's 24th annual Fireworks Over Lake Glenville, and it couldn't have been a bigger success. The weather cooperated and the crowds on both land and the water thrilled at being part of this on-going tradition. 

We'd like to offer our sincerest thanks to our generous Sponsors and Contributors who help Friends of Lake Glenville make this event happen, as well as our Fireworks Committee Chairman, R. Denny Smith, who works with the fireworks company, the Cashiers Glenville Fire Department, The Pointe HOA , and Jackson County offices to co-ordinate all the details and put it together.

You can see some of the awesomeness in the video below!

What a great day we had on the water during our annual FLG Lake Clean Up on Saturday, June 5, 2021! With the support of Signal Ridge, Mountain View, and Lake Shore Marinas, and more than 75 community volunteers, we were able to remove a huge array of flotsam, jetsam, and other trash, including: 48 Dock Floats, Plastic and Teak Chairs, Fences, Water Toys (tubes and noodles), Solo Cups, Floating Logs and Sticks amongst other various items.

FLG to Partner with Equinox Environmental for Ongoing Water Quality Program as of October 1, 2020

This year has had its challenges for all of us, including Friends of Lake Glenville and our ongoing Water Quality Program.

Earlier this year, Western Carolina University informed us that, due to the impact of Covid-19 on staffing and resources, they would not be renewing our agreement to provide water testing, analysis, and reporting services. We would like to thank Dr. Kimberly Hall and WCU for the excellent work they've done over the past three years.

The Board of Directors of Friends of Lake Glenville proudly announces that we have been awarded a $5000 grant from the Duke Energy Foundation to support and continue our work with water testing.
