We get it… everyone loves their favorite football team, including us! 🏈 However, did you know that a LLA personal membership is as little as $100 per year? Instead of placing a bet on your favorite football team this weekend, consider using that money to help support the LLA! We guarantee that your membership dollars will go towards programs that protect this beautiful reservoir. 🌅
The goal of the LLA is to preserve and protect Lake Lanier through education, action, and advocacy. Your membership supports LLA's on-lake initiatives and programs such as Shore Sweep, life jacket loaner stations, monthly water testing, and the installment of rip rap to help prevent shoreline erosion!
Don't bet on chances, bet on the LLA. To learn more, visit lakelanier.org ⬅️

Please join us in wishing Kirby Scheimann a very happy birthday! 🎉
Kirby first came to Lake Lanier in 2000, as General Manager of Aqualand Marina. While at Aqualand, he was a founding officer of the Marina Operators of Lake Lanier (MOAA). He also served as a Board Member and Officer of the Metro Atlanta Marine Trade Association, on the faculty of the International Marina Institute, presenter for the Association of Marina Industries, and as a Committee Member and Chairperson of the National Marina Day Committee.
The water is in his roots, as he was born into a boating family and raised in Northeast Indiana. His entire family was involved in all levels of competition and show waterskiing for decades, winning multiple state championships. Since settling in the Yellow Creek area of Lake Lanier, his family has participated in every Shore Sweep since 2014. Since 2019, Kirby has helped Co-Captain the Shore Sweep site, War Hill Park. He is the proud ‘Papa’ of three amazing grandchildren who love the lake, the oldest of which has been on the Family Shore Sweep Team since turning four years old.
