Their daily patrols, constant vigilance, and assistance help to make our community safe and promote the well-being of our residents.

with the picnic preparations, conduct, and cleanup, plus Diane and the deli staff at Hixson’s. 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. Through their benevolence numerous awards were presented to the MW volunteers:

Reverend Tom Keef gave the Invocation. Paul Szymkowicz, CLPOC Board President, Kristin Wilcox, Canadian Lakes Safety Director, and Harold Wolf, CLA President were guest speakers recognizing the Mobile Watch for their volunteer service to Canadian Lakes.

Dave & Vida Fisher and Ken & Nancy Freeman were inducted into the Mobile Watch Decade Club, joining the other fifty-nine previous volunteers who have been in the MW for 10 years or more. This year was incredibly special in that the Mobile Watch also have 20-year veterans, Norm & Mary Klebba and 25-year veterans, Bill & Barb Ballard. All were presented with a certificate and recognized for their service, sacrifice, and dedication to the Mobile Watch and Canadian Lakes. Their faithful efforts are a tribute to their conscientiousness and compassion for the community and their fellow residents. It is with gratitude and pride that we honor and thank them and the previously inducted MW Decade Club members. Bill Ballard, Area 3 Captain, also recognized Francis Wright, who, at 96 years young and some 18 years with the Mobile Watch, reluctantly retired.

Finally, a special thanks to all the Mobile Watch volunteers, including the area captains, backup captains, and patrollers, who make the Mobile Watch possible. Their continued involvement and support help to ensure the safety of our community.

If you believe the safety of your community is important and are interested in becoming a prestigious Mobile Watch volunteer, please contact Roger Stobert, Mobile Watch Coordinator, 231-288-0148 or spankky@charter.net.
