Flat Water News – March 2018

Volunteer for Island Clean Up: If you love to come to the island, you should definitely come to Spring Clean up!

Island Clean Up is very important to our island and makes it that wonderful place

to come to on those hot summer days.  It is also a great day to get to know your fellow club members better and get some exercise!.  We will need people to prune, paint, inventory, mow, pressure wash, etc. Send an email to Shawn and let him know what date(s) you can help.       shawnspringer3@gmail.com

 

 

Memorial Day Weekend:  This is the first island celebration of the season.  Chef Kelly will be barbecuing some delicious chicken provided by the club and all the members have to do is bring a dish to share. (salad-fruit-pasta-dessert- etc.) and your own drinks.  We still need some volunteers to help clean up.  Email Linda @ lkfish@comcast.net if you are willing to help.

Shawn & Teresa Springer • Jason & Jennifer Kerby • Jim & Olga Derby • Pete & Kristen Disch • Roger & Linda Fisher • Jim and Lori Balch • Thom Folks • Jacob & Sara Wiebe • Marcie Lopez • Mike Minnema • Manuel Gamez • Sim Risso • Sim Risso, Jr. • Tracy Trantham  • Pat Garcia • Dennis Johnson • Jason Davidson • Chris Kelly • Donnie & Tomo Villarin • Stephanie Chastain • Lori Burkart • Jeff & Nicole Greenberg • Bob Dowling • Brad Hellwig • Dale Balcao • Larry Reynolds • Kirk Greene • Larry Reynolds • Ben Weisner • Matt Hall • Monet Fisher

A New Generator at Last!

Out with the old, in with the new!  This is what it takes to get it done – A barge, a crane, a tractor and lots of muscle!  One step closer to getting back to normal.

A HUGE thanks to Brad Hellwig, Jim Balch, Jim Derby, Jason Kerby, and Chris Kelly for taking the time to get this done!
