THE CANADIAN LAKER
Good day my fellow Canadian Lakers! It’s the highest of high seasons in Canadian Lakes. Our boats are in the water, and if you see Marsha and I on the lake, feel free to come aboard and check out our new flooring. We got rid of the old carpet, and had individual seat covers made as well, so no more putting that big cover on every time we use the boat. Our beaches are full and beautiful, and there’s lots of fishing in the lakes. The courts are all busy with pickleball, tennis, and basketball. Our courses and fields are green and busy with golf, disc golf, softball, and ultimate frisbee. When you park your cars by the floating docks on East Royal this time of year, be aware of the flying disc. It’s a good thing the disc golfers are much more accurate throwing their discs then old Harold is driving his golf balls. I see people riding their bikes and walking the new nature trail. The dog park is filled with Fidos and Fluffys. Marsha and I truly feel blessed to be able to live our best life here in Canadian Lakes. As I’m sure I’ve already told you, my parents bought a lot in Canadian Lakes in 1968. Old Harold was five at the time ... who names a baby Harold by the way?! They were always so proud to tell people they were members of Canadian Lakes. Their love for Canadian Lakes is in large part the reason Marsha and I joined the CLA Board. It seemed like a great way to give back to the community that meant so much to our parents (along with the fact that Earl Christianson was so convincing). Giving back to your community is what being a CLA Board Member is all about. Think about it. What would Canadian Lakes look like without the CLA? There would be no more sanctioned clubs ... no more cards, quilting, dance exercise, gardening, or tennis ... just to name a few. There would be no more fun events ... no more Easter Egg Hunt, New Year’s Eve Dance, Kite Day, Cook-Offs, Winter Carnival, Veteran’s Day Program, Memorial Day Program, or Craft Shows ... again, just to name a few. At the heart of every community are the events and activities provided for members to enjoy. I can proudly say that 12 CLA Board Members provide all of this and more, including our monthly Lite Lines, our annual Membership Directory & Buyer’s Guide, and numerous contests. The health and happiness of the CLA, and in large part our entire
