CANADIAN LAKES ASSOCIATION

HELLOOOO ... High Season! We Canadian Lakes members are truly blessed to have all the activities at our disposal year-round, but nothing is quite like “High Season” in Canadian Lakes! There is so much to do, and so many people to do it all with. Marsha’s and my grandkids talk to us about how busy THEY are, and of course we listen to them like good grandparents do. But then we tell them to go look at our calendar which hangs in our kitchen (yes, we still have a “REAL” paper calendar on our wall ), and it blows their mind how a couple of old farts like us are as busy as we are! Finding a weekend in the summer for friends to come and visit is no small task. But how fortunate can you be to have so many fun things to do!

By the time you receive this Laker we will have just had a new CLA Event, our CLA Membership Drive, held June 9th. I’m hoping we had a great turnout! But if you missed it, it’s not too late to COME JOIN THE FUN. By becoming a CLA member for just $30 a year for your entire household, you will enjoy all the benefits of membership and the satisfaction of knowing you are helping the CLA provide all the fun, entertaining and educational events throughout the year. How will you know when and where all these fun Events will take place? Well, with your CLA Membership, you will receive our monthly Lite Lines newsletter. In each issue there is a schedule and details of upcoming events along with opportunities to win prizes every month. Another benefit of your CLA Membership is being able to take part in our CLA Shopping Spree Contest, which is for CLA Members only. Our 2023 Contest runs Thursday, June 1st through Monday, July 31st. All you need to do to participate in this Contest is to first of all be a CLA Member, save your receipts from any business who advertise in our CLA Directory and Buyer’s Guide which you receive for being a member, sign the back of the receipt, and put it in one of our drop boxes located at Hixson’s, the Canadian Lakes Pharmacy, or Ace Hardware. You will then be entered includes an overnight stay at the Woods, Dinner at Antlers, and an 18-hole round of golf with cart at the Royal Golf Course. The more you shop, the more you can enter, and the better your chances are to win.

Other fun CLA Events this summer you need to know about are, on Saturday, June 24, our Summer Arts & Crafts Show. On Saturday, July 1st is our annual CLA Picnic, held on the grounds of the Highland Haus. We will have live music, Outback Ranch wagon rides, outdoor family friendly games, tattoos for the kiddos, entertainment by DJ the Clown, a Corn Hole tournament, and “free” food including Hot Dogs, Corn, Potato Salad, Chips, Popcorn, and Ice Cream! The CLA Summer Picnic is one of the CLA’s signature events for the year, and you won’t want to miss it. All CLPOC Members in good standing, your family and guests are invited to attend the Picnic. On Wednesday, August 9th is our Ice Cream Social at the Castle. These are just a few of our summer Events that you can come and enjoy. Make sure you watch the CL News for Posters that include information on all these Events, as well watch the Information Sign Boards at the CLPOC Office, the Airport, and the Alpine Haus which include dates and times of the CLA’s major events and watch our monthly Lite Lines newsletter which features details on the monthly CLA events.

Your CLA Board is always striving to make sure our Canadian Lakes members have plenty of FUN opportunities to COME JOIN THE FUN month-aftermonth, year-after-year.

Stay Healthy, Safe and Strong!
