A couple of organizations that sprang out of last summer’s Lake Lanier tragedies still are forging ahead, notwithstanding successes during the past Georgia General Assembly. The Lake Lanier Water Safety Alliance “was certainly interested in what was happening with the legislation this year, but legislation has not been our primary focus,” said Joanna Cloud, executive director of the Gainesville-based Lake Lanier Association, which formed the alliance as part of its “safe lake” focus. Instead, the group is particularly focusing on “education and awareness of safety issues within the community.”
