CANADIAN LAKES MOBILE WATCH (MW) held the 2021 Appreciation Golf Outing and Picnic on Wednesday, August 25, for the Mobile Watch volunteers and for the Canadian Lakes Safety officers to demonstrate the community’s gratitude for their good work. Their daily patrols, constant vigilance, and assistance help to make our community safe and promote the well-being of our residents. Canadian Lakes Safety and the Mobile Watch would like to thank the more than 100 volunteers who attended the picnic. Canadian Lakes Safety and the Mobile Watch would also like to give a special thanks to Dennis and Georgette Zywica, Tom Gawenda, Gene and Fran Maloziec, Chuck Adams, Roger and Tracie Stobert, Casey Smith, Bill Hull, and the maintenance and custodial teams for their assistance with the picnic preparations, conduct, and cleanup. Thank you, Diane and the deli staff, at Hixson’s Family Market for the extra effort under difficult conditions. As a result, great food and fellowship were had by all. Our deepest gratitude is also extended to the following sponsors for their generous support of the Mobile Watch.
