Cooper Landing Community Club

Fingers crossed, Spring may be in the air! Your community club board has been busy transitioning in new officers and completing several housekeeping items to get ready for our summer season. At our March meeting we had updates from our Social Committee, Trails Committee, and our Community Liaison, the Cooper Landing Advisory Planning Commission.

We also made minor updates to our Bylaws, discussed efforts in naming the bridge being built over Juneau Creek, and received an update on the efforts being made by Safe Trails. If you would like to contribute to some of the decisions being made or discussed, we encourage you to attend our meetings! Our next one will be Thursday, May 18th, 2023.

We have several events on our calendar to be aware of. On April 8, the CLCC is hosting the annual Easter Egg Hunt, so grab your baskets and snow boots or xtratufs and come on down! We will see how creative the Easter bunny can be in the snowbanks this year! Also check our calendar for Kenai Lake Baptist Church’s Easter Breakfast, Cooper Landing Advisory Planning Committees month meeting, and our CLCC Social Committee’s Movie Night. Visit our calendar for more information on dates and times for these events.

We would also like to take this time to recognize the Kenai Peninsula Foundation for awarding us a grant that made it possible for us to replace our old oven AND add a convection oven. This donation enhances our kitchen facilities for our all of our user groups that have events with meals, such as our Soup Supper, Pancake Feed, the Softball Tournament, and private events like weddings, birthdays and memorials.

Please also give a shout out and huge thank you to LaDonna Herbert, who generously donated the CLCC and the CL Library a snowblower. This will allow volunteers to clear out the handicap ramps and make access easier for everyone to both buildings. Thank you LaDonna!

Dates for the softball tournament have be set, May 25th – June 3rd, 2023. You don’t need to get your glove out yet, but we are already on the lookout for donations for our Silent Auction and will need volunteers to help with concessions, split-the-pot, umping, and scorekeeping. If you are planning on being around at that time and interested in helping, please let us know. We would be happy to have you!

Happy Easter everyone and here is to a quick melting April!
