Since the late 1990’s the Cranberry Lake Boat Club has provided over $20,000 “to enhance the general welfare of the area”.  Additionally two grants totaling over $9,000 were secured and applied to the Town of Clifton Beach Park Project.

The following are the major Projects that have been supported and /or accomplished: Defibrillator for the Rescue Squad; Town of Clifton Beach Park pavilions, fencing, landscaping, picnic tables, charcoal cookers and life guard chair; Wanakena Welcome sign; Annual contribution to the Banner Committee and Beach Park maintenance; Clifton Community Center Forever Wild Play Park and Parking Area; Benches at the Boat Club Dock and Boat Launch; Fire Hall Landscaping; Clifton/Fine Hospital/Clinic; Walking Bridge signs; Wanakena Dock Ladder and Bumpers; 50 Mile Trail, 2 Loon Floats, and replacement of the 2 Cranberry Lake Welcome Signs.   

In 2013 the Wanakena Dock bumpers were replaced (again) and we applied for and were awarded a Damoth Fund Grant for $3,750 to replace 3 aging benches in Cranberry Lake and to install a meditation bench at the Wanakena Cemetery.

  In 2014 the four Benches were installed and we were awarded a Damoth Grant for $2,250 for a Wayfinding Sign for the Beach Park. We also started fund raising for a Pavilion behind the Clifton Community Center.

In 2015 the Wayfinding Sign was finalized with the DOS and the Town Board and $450 was provided to help rebuild the Wanakena dock. Over $35,000 was raised for the Pavilion and at a cost of $22,000 the basic structure was built behind the Clifton Community.  Finishing touches will be added next year.
