From the CLA

CANADIAN LAKES ASSOCIATION

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

COME JOIN THE FUN

community, rest in the hands of volunteers like yourself. The CLA will be losing three board members at the end of the year due to term limits. They have each served two, three-year terms and have all been instrumental in the continued success of the CLA. They are Jo Alex, Robin Bielby, and Sharon Schmidt. When you see them out and about in the community, please take the time to let them know how much you appreciate their tireless commitment to Canadian Lakes. With that being said, the CLA is in need of three new board members who are ready, willing, and able to COME JOIN THE FUN, because that’s what being a CLA board member is all about. It is fun, rewarding, and at times quite entertaining! Hopefully I have piqued your interest in joining the CLA board. Here is my contact information: phone 269-209-9871 and email haroldwolf63@gmail.com. Call, text, or email me and let me explain the fun opportunities the CLA has for you.

Speaking of fun ... upcoming CLA events this summer are the Ferris Community Band Concert at the Castle, our Summer Arts & Crafts Show and Quilt Show, our Youth Theatre Camp, our Summer Picnic, our Ice Cream Social, along with numerous fun Fishing Club contests, and that’s just what the CLA has planned this summer! I can assure you, each and every month of the year the CLA always has something fun and entertaining to look forward to, and I look forward to hearing from you, and seeing you at one of our many events. Stay healthy, safe, and strong!
