The mission of our social committee is to facilitate social activities within the Shish-Gunlock Lake Association to promote participation in and support for SGLA. The social committee has a “heart” for bringing people together. We are dedicated to creating an environment that fosters friendship, networking and camaraderie within our lake communty.
This is our primary social group focused on fun, friendship, and giving back to the community. Held monthly from May through September on the 3rd Thursday of the month, ladies and gentlemen members of SGLA meet separately at a host's home or at a local venue to socialize, potluck, or share a casual meal. It's the perfect way to meet other lake residents in a relaxed, informal setting.
