LRE dedicates new picnic pavilion, an event 10 years in the making Jodi Thomas AREA MANAGER
On Saturday, June 4, the residents of Lake Riverside Estates gathered together for the dedication of their new picnic pavilion with a ribbon cutting ceremony and barbecue celebration. Over the past 10 years, the Picnic Committee, Pat Sprint, Marge Buschmann, Ann Phelps, Gloria Minert, Louise Finke, Betty Jamision and Sue Beard worked hard raising funds for LRE community projects. It was decided that a picnic pavilion complete with a gas barbecue, picnic table, plenty of shade and a view of the lake would serve the community best. Picnic Committee member Marge
Bushmann came up with the idea for the picnic pavilion. The pavilion is situated at the edge of LRE’s Community Center parking lot, right across from LRE’s lake and new playground. It is the Picnic Committee’s hope that the LRE community will enjoy the area and help preserve it. The Picnic Committee would like to thank all those who made this picnic pavilion possible. A special thanks goes out to Gavin Raya for his classic and beautiful design and to his helpers, including his sisters, Amanda and Audrey and his brother Jordan, who along with Jack Sprint planted the area’s botanical beauty.

Joshua James and Joseph Kinser have earned the highest honor a scout can achieve in the Boy Scouts of America, the rank of Eagle Scout. The two 18-year-olds and new high school graduates now have one more feather to add to their caps, achieving their Eagle Scout. The two young men began their journey together as young boys, earning their Arrow of Light Award together and completed their journey together as young men, earning their Eagle Scout Award. The two will take with themselves a world of experience learned during their Scouting journey from Tiger Cubs to Boy Scouts and now to Eagle
Scouts, experiences that will served them well along life’s journey. “Be prepared” is the Scout motto and the training the boys received on everything from first aid to a wide variety of skills will help them to do just that. “The training received in the troop has helped these young men to be prepared, prepared not just to help in emergencies, but to become productive citizens,” said Ginny Kinser. “Lord Baden Powell, the founder of Scouting wanted every Scout to be ready in mind and body, ready for any struggles and to be prepared for life.” During the May 29 ceremony Eagle Scout Connor Nevarez promoted Kinser and James to the
