- Maintain a Water Quality Program, sampling the water for clarity & chemical structure.
- Make available educational & communication programs such as newsletters, State bulletins on boating and land use, and water quality education issues.
- Organize and host educational workshops, such as the Septic Social and the Storm-Ready Workshop.
- Organize and coordinate participation in Vermont Green Up Day, cleaning up trash along the roadways bordering Echo Lake.
- Conduct an annual meeting open to all to discuss our plans and priorities.
- Host an annual family pot-luck picnic to promote community.
- Organize the COLOR Challenge to raise funds for the association and to promote family fitness and community interaction.
- Raise funds from individuals and through public and governmental grants to fund our programs.
- Coordinate and focus a dedicated group of individuals to achieve our goals.
