Wow, can you believe it is 2010 already!  Soon all this white stuff will be gone will be gone which means the Green Lake Association will be out of hibernation and ready for another great season.  The following will highlight our events for the year and will include a “Save the date” clip out.  Our first event was our Annul Green Lake clean up which was held on Sat.  March 6.  On April 17 our Spring Bingo will be held at the Community Center.  As always it will include the meat raffle.  We hope everyone will come out and participate.  Our 5th Annual Boat Parade will be on the 4th of July.  Please consider joining us with any watercraft you may have.  Ki-Chi-Saga Days follows on Aug. 21 and Aug 22.  The parade is a fun time for all.  The Fall Festival will be Oct. 9.  This includes the bingo, a meat raffle, and silent auction.  The last event of the year is our Annual Meeting on Nov.4.  We hope that you will attend some or all of these functions or consider volunteering to help out.

The 4th of July was another beautiful day on Green Lake.  We had a little smaller turn out this year for participants but all the boats and pontoons were decorated beautifully.   Groov’en on Green took first place, Mardi Gras on Green took second place, and Rednecks of Green took third place.  The boat parade is always a lot of fun and we hope to do it again next year.  Thank you too all who participated and helped out with the parade.

The GLA Fall Festival was held Sat. Oct. 26 at the Community Center.  We had a little smaller turn out but everyone seemed to have a good time.  Our silent auction was down sized this year but still proved to be a popular event.  The meat raffle was also a huge success.  Dan did a great job calling the bingo.  We appreciate the support of our community at our GLA functions. We would also like to thank everyone who donated to the silent auction and volunteered to help with the Fall Festival.

The GLA Member Appreciation Picnic was held on Sat. Aug. 15 at the Standish’s.  It was a windy day so most people came by car this year.  We had a small turn out but still met some new faces.  Jeff and Phil came to cook and as always did a great job.  There was lots of good food to eat and good conversation.  Thanks to Bob Milan who provided the door prizes we gave out.  Again we thank every one who came to the picnic.  This is a great way to meet our neighbors on the lake.

What beautiful weather for the Ki-Chi- Saga Days celebration!  We set up our GLA booth in the park on Sat.  We had information on what we do and how everyone can help keep our lakes clean.  We also gave out free non-leaded fishing tackle and had GLA items for sale.  Debbie Legan of Shorview was the winner of a hooded sweatshirt in our free  drawing.

On Sunday we had our GLA pontoon in the parade.  Again, what a beautiful day!  We passed out candy and enjoyed seeing everyone come out for this event.  Thank you too all the volunteers that helped with these events.
