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.

Each cook entrant will need to bring his or her own raw meat, which will be either ribs or
tri-tip. There will be a potluck dinner only for the cook entrants and their families plus 3 guests. The following rules were adopted:
- Bring your own raw meat.
- Cooking time for raw meat starts at 10:00 am, following inspection of the meat.
- Cooking time is a 6 hour limit, ending at 4:00 pm.
- All preparation and cooking will be done at the island.
- There are two choices for meat, either ribs or tri-tip.
- The potluck dinner will begin at 4:10 pm, so the meat can rest and be cut for serving.
A prize for first place and for second place will be awarded.
In spite of rain, wind and high tides, we really got a lot done at Island Clean-Up. Trees were cut, grass cut, weeds sprayed, tables and benches pressure washed and sealed, more trees planted, upgrades to the restrooms made, sheds inventoried, and best of all, lots of fun was had by us all. Many thanks to Shawn and Teresa Springer for organizing the crews and to Stephanie and Teresa for feeding us all lunches. Here are the people who volunteered:
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!

We want to remind our members that we always welcome their guests to camp with them on the island but, they are guests, and should not be leaving their tents up when they leave. Our first priority is to provide camping space, tables, and barbecues for our members. Thank you for helping with this.
