From the General Manager
B
ring on spring! I don’t know how you are feeling, but I am ready for winter to be done. To me, it seems to have been an excessively colder winter, especially with overnight lows. The older I get, the shorter I want winter to last. Over the weekend I was telling Janene, my wife, that with the loss of snow I was expecting to see some daring members out on The Pines course this coming week, getting in some early season swings. But we went overnight from having basically no snow on the ground, to now we have four inches and it’s still snowing. Oh well, that’s March in Michigan. The good news is spring will be here soon enough as this is all part of the Canadian Lakes fourseason allure, at least for some of us.

ADVANCE NOTICE I have two items I want to make you aware of early. First is the Canadian Lakes Annual Community-Wide Garage Sale. Once again, this popular event will occur during Memorial Day weekend on Friday, May 27th and Saturday, May 28th. Please see page 10 for all the details. Secondly, I wanted to give you advance notice regarding the 4th of July fireworks this year. The fireworks this year would typically be done the Saturday prior to July 4th. Unfortunately, our fireworks this year will be the Saturday after July 4th due to issues with our prior contractor not being able to continue doing business with us, and the available dates with our new contractor that we were able to find. This year, the fireworks are scheduled for Saturday, July 9th. ROYAL GRILLE Some good news for the Royal Grille, especially if you are a beer fan. We hope to have the new walk-in cooler completed by April 1st. This project allows for safer and better storage of our kegs, beer, and wines and better storage of our beverage cart products. This project also increases our tap beer selection from four taps to ten taps. The Royal Grille will be going back to high season hours beginning Friday, April 1st.
