Happy 2025!

We start another year of Big Canoe Living in a winter wonderland. Please stay safe, warm, and off the roads until our terrific Public Safety team gives us the all-clear.

Big Canoe , Jan. 10 , 2025

We have so many things to look forward to this year. Let's start indoors with opportunities for you to stay healthy with the team at our Wellness Center. It is also time to begin your earliest summer planning by locking in summer camps for your kids and grandkids. The registration links are in this issue. Please do not delay your registration if you want a spot at one of our camps. We sell out every year.

The Lakeside Bistro's wine tastings and theme night dinners have been a huge success. Read on for the details of the upcoming January dates and make your reservations. Then, on Saturday, January 25, you can kickstart your spring cleaning by participating in our first bulk trash day of the year. And, speaking of cleaning. Have books you would like to donate to a great cause? The Big Canoe Women's Fellowship Books & More fundraiser has started their collection campaign.

Cheers,

Delaine
