Budget cuts lead to marine patrol shortage

ROSCOMMON COUNTY- As a result of the funding cuts in various community programs the Sheriff Marine Patrol is faced with scheduling fewer hours for summer patrol coverage on Higgins Lake.

The Higgins Lake Foundation is asking for community support to help fund summer patrol coverage. HLF will match dollar to dollar every donation between June 19 and July 30 up to $7,050.00 toward the $14,100.00 goal to keep the patrol out on Higgins Lake.

With the increase in boat traffic in recent years and many new boaters taking the helm we all benefit from having the Sheriff Marine Patrol out on Higgins Lake.

To donate to this program, mail a check to Higgins Lake Foundation PO BOX 753, Roscommon, MI 48653. Please indicate Marine Patrol Match in the check memo line. Or call HLF 989 275-9183

HLF is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) established in 1989.
