Annual Picnic/Meeting We have changed the date for our picnic to Saturday August 24th at Donita and Oley Olson's house at 7502 Shore Drive off of Wildwood Road from 1-3 pm. Donita and Oley have graciously offered to have the picnic at their beautiful home for another year. Thank you so much! We had originally hoped to have the picnic on July 13th, but basically we felt we were not able to get the word out to enough people to have a worthwhile potluck meeting. We want this to be an opportunity for you to meet your neighbors on the lake and have some fun along with lots of good food. Also along with finding out more about our group and our activities to preserve our lake chain, and to add new members to our group along with fundraising with Ribeck Lake shirts.
The money we raise through memberships and shirt sales goes towards keeping the lake chain channels wider by using the weed harvester, along with costs associated with growing our membership and tackling some of the lake quality issues that our group is concerned about; such as road runoff, excessive aquatic weed growth in some areas, along with increased sediment. These are issues that are of concern to most lakes right now, but we need to get better organized to tackle these things. Thus, we have postponed the original potluck meeting to August 24th and we will have a lot to report on the progress of our group and the preservation of our lake chain. You do not need to be a member to come. You don't need to live in a certain area - the whole lake chain is invited!
To save money and use our funds more for the above, we are doing a potluck meeting where everybody brings what they would like. So bring your favorite main course dish or side dish or desert and while we eat Pat Marks will give an update. Afterwards stay and talk and ask questions or go back home to hop on your boat and fish or do your chores. You won't tie up all of your day and we think you will find it fun and worthwhile. All of our potluck meetings have created new and lasting friendships over the years.
Please email Patty Marks at [email protected] if you will be coming, and also what you will be bringing so we can do a picnic list so everyone can see what is on the menu. Hope to see you there!!
