About Save The Lakes

---

Save the Lakes is an all-volunteer organization devoted to protecting and defending the CC&Rs governing the use of The Lakes Golf Course. It is supported entirely by voluntary contributions of supporters.

STL was started in 2008, the year Wilson Gee disclosed his intention to build apartments at the Lakes. The mission of STL has remained the same since then: 

Defend your property rights that are clearly spelled out in the CC&Rs. 

Members include residents of Ahwatukee as well as non-residents who support the CC&Rs.

STL is governed by a board of directors.  There are four officers: president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. In addition to the board, there is a steering committee which meets regularly to set direction for the organization

STL is a 503(c)4  social welfare organization. Contributions are not tax deductible.

STL collects and provides information to counter the misleading claims promoted by True Life, Wilson Gee and their backers. It holds meetings and forums to help property owners understand their rights.

STL has  adopted a stretch of Warner Road for quarterly trash pickup.
