These representatives are from all the communities that surround Twin Lakes that wish to participate in the TLWQC. The Sagamore community was formerly represented in the committee but decided in mid-2024 to take a step back. The TLWQC meets monthly during the spring/summer and periodically throughout the fall/winter seasons to continue efforts to achieve the above objectives. The group works on ways to collaborate with the entire Twin Lakes Community to monitor, protect, and enhance the water quality of Twin Lakes while also fostering educational opportunities.
Message From the Chair:
The TLWQC may be composed of only 10 representatives but, just like this small team, many of the surrounding community members are actively involved in volunteering their time in addition to providing supporting donations. If you wish to volunteer your time, there is a wide range of things to do that include physical and non-physical activities. You are always welcome to reach out to me if you want to get involved or if you have any questions about the committee’s work. Chris Proce - 516-250-0356 – cproce@rouxinc.com
