Lakes Council opens office

The LaGrange County Lakes Council has opened a new office in downtown LaGrange at 111 West Spring Street, Suite 8.

Having an office is expected to provide additional awareness of the Council's work and will allow centralized organization of the equipment and supplies that have previously been maintained by board members.

Jack Dold has been named interim administrator for Lakes Council operations and will work towards the eventual hiring of a permanent part time administrator.

The new phone number for the Council is: 260-499-LAKE (5253).
