Fall Clean-up

Fall clean-up was successfully completed by about 40 members last Sat. 28th. Oct. We had 6 trailers being pulled around the Park with crews for each one picking up the leaves.
All was done by noon and we crowded into the pavilion for delicious chili, buns and salad and all kinds of goodies provided by Mary and her helpers. Thanks!
Thanks also to those providing trailers and ATV's, plus one truck, and to all for coming out - and - it didn't even rain!

FALL CLEAN-UP

Fall clean-up has been scheduled for 10am Saturday, 28th. October.
Please plan to attend, as the more Members that come out to help, the easier and quicker it will be completed. (Plus it's part of your agreement to help when you joined the Park.)

If you need help with your lot, call George at 705-578-2999 and let him know.

If you have a truck, trailer or ATV that can be used to move the leaves etc. please bring it.
The Club has some tools, but bring your leaf rake from home, if you have one.

Another incentive to come out - LUNCH WILL BE SERVED!

You should also receive a call from our Callers, but if you do not, and are planning to attend, please call Mary at 705-461-6165 or E Mail her at claudemary@persona.ca as she needs the numbers for lunch.

Lockie Rhiness

I'm afraid I am the bearer of more bad news today,
LOCKIE RHINESS , one of the original members of our club, has passed away peacefully at home following a long battle with serious illness.
Those who knew Lockie would also know he did indeed battle his illness to the last.
Our condolences go to his wife of many years, Louise,  and their family.
We will keep everyone posted of any funeral arrangements or public celebration of life if and when they should occur.

Fall Meeting

The Fall Meeting and elections for a new Board of Management for 2018, will be held at the basement meeting room of St. Peter's Anglican Church at 2.00pm. on Sunday, 1st. October 2017.

Canoe/Kayak racks

ORGANISING THE CANOE/KAYAK RACKS

Our Park V.P. Jack Carroll, is in the process of carrying out a much-needed reorganization of our canoe/kayak racks.

This will involve not only identifying the racks, but also the position of each boat on the rack.

To accomplish this he needs each boat to be identified by its owner. So, as soon as possible, please put your name on your boat(s) in some form of weatherproof manner, i.e: place your name in a good quality zip-lock bag and attach it securely to the boat where it can be easily read.

We put a fee of $5 for each boat on the racks at the Fall meeting of 2016. If you have not yet paid this fee, please do so as soon as possible. Boats that have not had a fee paid will be temporarily removed from the racks.
