CANADIAN LAKES ASSOCIATION

Well, another year has come and almost gone as I begin this letter. It’s December 30, 2022. We are just finalizing decorating the Castle for our CLA New Year’s Eve Dance. Thanks to Peggy Brohl, Kay Wejrowski, and Lynn Taylor for all of their hard work on decorations. The Castle looks amazing ... inside and outside with all of the lights! We have over one hundred Canadian Lakers coming out to say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023. What a great night of fun, food, and fellowship it will be.

It’s hard for me to believe by the time you are reading this Laker Letter Marsha and I will have completed our first 3-year term as CLA Board Members. For those of you who are sick of us, well sorry. We are planning to serve out our second 3-year term. Sooo ... you will have to put up with us a little longer! To be a CLA Board Member is definitely an eye-opening experience for sure, to get a “behind the curtain view” of what it takes to be part of providing and maintaining the GOOD life for our Canadian Lakes neighbors is truly awe inspiring. For 48 years our organization has been serving Canadian Lakes. In 1975 we started as the “Year Rounders

Club” and then in 1980 we officially became the Canadian Lakes Association. Over those years 82 CLA Members have given their time, talent, and treasure to our community volunteering as CLA Board Members. They have all been vital spokes in the wheel that has kept the CLA rolling along.

Well, your 2023 CLA Board this year is just as dedicated to providing you with all the fun, entertaining, and educational events and contests you have come to expect. Saturday, February 11 will be our first CLA Event in 2023 ... our Winter Carnival. We will once again feed and entertain you “for free.” We will have wagon rides, crafts for the kids, a clown show, Closest to the Pin Competition, skating, and sledding (weather permitting), the CLA Fishing Club will provide their 19th Annual Youth Ice Fishing Derby, and we will provide lots of delicious food to enjoy throughout the afternoon. So, plan to come out to enjoy some Winter Fun!

And finally, if you want to make sure you and your family don’t miss any of our future CLA Events, we make it easy and affordable to COME JOIN THE FUN! You can go to our Canadian Lakes Association Website at canadianlakesassociation.org and print off a membership form, or you can pick a form up from the CLPOC office. It’s only $30 a year, which includes your CLA Membership Card which gets you into all of our Events and the chance to enter CLA Members Only Contests and have a chance to win CLA Members Only Door Prizes at our events. You will receive our monthly Lite Lines newsletter which will keep you up to date on all upcoming events. You will also receive our annual CLA Directory and Buyer’s Guide. I look forward to seeing all of you out and about enjoying the many events provided throughout the year!

Stay Healthy, Safe and Strong!
