Greetings

Summer is finally in full swing. We saw record attendance over the Independence Week festivities, all capped off by the best fireworks show in Big Canoe's history! The fun continues all summer long. Each of our amenities invites you to take part in all they have to offer. The Marina has plenty of watercraft available to

enjoy the waters and eagles on Lake Petit. The Beach Club is the place to cool off and enjoy the Deck at Lakeside Bistro, where you can sip, dine, and shop the Paddle Rack for all your Big Canoe items. And Chef Russel continues to delight all of us with his weekly specials at the Lakeside Bistro.

Watch our official Facebook channel, Big Canoe Events and Happenings, for updates on all our activities and The Deck's summer pop-up live music series.

Since it's July, don't forget our annual mid-year town hall, which will take place tomorrow at 10:00 AM at the Big Canoe Chapel. Our key partners will be presenting our final audit, updates on Petit Dam and the Clubhouse, and amenity satisfaction survey results. Its also a great chance to interact personally with the Board and your staff.

Enjoy the summer fun and I hope to see you at the Town Hall.
