The ALCC annual meetings were once held at the Vincent Schoolhouse. Before the meetings, there was always a potluck or “free lunch” supplied by the Community Club.

In 2006, one of the meeting topics was about the things our dues paid for, such as the Community newsletters, testing the lake water, keys, insurance, and more – much as they are now.

Here are some of our community’s past accomplishments.

At this time, a proposed Ames Lake Country Club threatened our community. It was to be built on the plateau east of Ames Lake. It would have a 27-hole golf course and estates. The board met to discuss this issue on March 12, 1995.

Whenever you moved to Ames Lake, you became part of our community’s history.

Here are some people’s thoughts about what it’s been like to live here:

“I’ve lived here for 59 years. The community and environment enchant me. I plan on staying here. This is my home.”

“The trees made me move here. We’ll probably stay forever. We’re honored to be part of the Ames Lake culture.”

“I like the quiet and peaceful setting. Every season is beautiful. I wouldn’t live anywhere else in the United States.”

“I like the tranquility and sense of a tight community. Everyday feels like a vacation in a postcard-like setting. This is home. I don’t plan to leave – by choice.”

“This is a really special place and unlike any other area of Washington. It’s a beautiful, peaceful setting, and not overdeveloped. I don’t plan on leaving.”

“I’ve lived here since 1970. This is a magical place. I love the community and the lake, and I like being out in the boonies. Ames Lake is my home. I’d be leaving in a box.”

“I’ve lived here for 20 years. The lake is a piece of heaven. It’s hard to imagine we would ever leave.”
