Jack Foucault
DIRECTOR
My family has lived close and with a great view of Turtle Lake for over 20 years. We have enjoyed being on the lake whenever we can tubing and fishing. I am an avid fisherman and Turtle Lake is a special resource and now the jewel 💎 in Walworth county . I am volunteering on the board to help protect Turtle Lake from destruction as a fishery. I only want the best for Turtle Lake and I will never stop fighting to protect this precious resource.
Scott Nowicki
DIRECTOR
Turtle Lake is special to a lot of people and we are lucky to have so many that are looking to get or stay involved in its future. I am not a full time resident but after renovating a home in the Crystal Bowl, investing my money and time into helping build a local business, and volunteering my time on the board while leading the buoy committee, my family and I are proud of what we’ve accomplished in our community. I hope to continue bringing level-headed thinking and positivity to the team.
