Are you interested in getting more involved in Shawnee Country? The Shawnee Country Open Space Association has a Board of Trustees that oversee the association. The Board meets monthly to discuss topics such as open space maintenance, lake issues, budget updates and/or development improvements. Board members are expected to take on specific roles, tasks and duties throughout the year. In addition to the Board positions there is also a Lake Committee that is looking for members. This committee helps maintain the swimming and fishing lakes.

If you are interested in becoming more involved and would like more information on the roles and responsibilities of Board members or the Lake Committee please contact the Board at [email protected].

Activities:

The Annual Block Party & Fishing Derby is scheduled for Saturday, September 6th. Watch for more information to come via email later this summer!
