Wolf Lake Project's members hoping to make community safer, cleaner for future generations

Cleaning up Wolf Lake is the mission of a group in the Union County community.

The Wolf Lake Project is making plans to host a community event on Saturday, Aug. 3.

The Wolf Lake Project shared information which explains that its mission is “to make the community safer and cleaner for our future generations.”

Community members had attended a recent Union County Board of Commissioners meeting to voice their concerns about issues in Wolf Lake.

The Wolf Lake Project is described as “a highly motivated group of community members that has continually seen the depletion of properties in the Wolf Lake area.

“Many of the properties that the organization would be focusing on are either abandoned and unkept or have structures that are damaged, dilapidated and deemed unlivable.”

The organization states that its goals include:

•Obtaining and cleaning abandoned lots that are being used for, but not intended to be, a dumping site for trash, which also becomes an unsanitary condition for community members.

•Cleaning up lots that have damaged structures, such as burned houses and/or dilapidated buildings.

•Upkeep and regular maintenance to the gained properties.

Event Planned Aug. 3

The community is invited to help to support the Wolf Lake Project’s effort at an event which is scheduled on Saturday, Aug. 3. 

The event is planned from noon until 11 p.m. at The Duck Inn, which is located at 5495 State Route 3 in Wolf Lake.

The Aug. 3 event is scheduled to feature food, a corn hole tournament, a 50/50 raffle, music and other raffles.

The corn hole tournament is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

Music is scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m. The Evan Webb Band and the Southern Comfort Band are scheduled to perform.

The Wolf Lake Project offers several ways to support the work it is doing and the Aug. 3 event.

Supporters can make a monetary contribution to Pistol City Properties for cleanup efforts.

Donations for a silent auction/raffle planned on Aug. 3 also are welcome. Organizers ask that donations be made before July 31.
