Thanks to the PattiCam for this photo of the yellow pickup that spent several days tooling around Birch Lake's ice shelf ...
Hey, all you snowbirds!
Florida is for sissies. Here's how REAL Birch Lakers get a winter suntan.Spring Dinner:
The BLYC Spring Dinner is being planned for May 17 at the Christiana Creek Golf Course (Elk's Lodge) in Elkhart. Social hour will be from 6 - 7 pm, with dinner following. The menu and cost has not been decided, but will be announced in the next online Barker. Call Commodore Mike Lutz with questions or problems.
Cleanup days at Camp T
Camp Tannadoonah will be having a major work weekend at camp on April 12th and 13th (all day). We have some big projects, including 2 roofs to tear off and re-roof, 1 roof to repair, flooring that needs to be torn up and replaced, and several other construction projects. Camp has hired a contractor to oversee these projects, and to reduce our costs, Amber is trying to get as big a crew together as possible to help him on those two days. They also have lots of other things that people who aren't comfortable with the big construction projects can help with - cleaning cabins, cleaning the kitchen to ready it for the summer, weeding and planing flowers, raking leaves, etc.
Amber thought that it would be easier to get help if she set one weekend with a major goal rather than spreading it out over several weekends. Anyone who will be able to help can contact at Amber@tannadoonah.org or 574-217-4731. She need to get an approximate head count in advance so she can let the contractor know how much help he will have.
Birch Barker Kid (#1) of the Month
This is Leslie Pattullo's mom at a Nursing Home function. She is 90.5 and looks wonderful. She is as pretty inside as she is on the outside. She would want to tell all of her friends at Birch Lake that she loves them and misses them.
Birch Barker Kid (#2) of the Month
Lyla Boecher (Rick & Patti Russwurm's granddaughter) is 9 months. Sweeeeeeeeetest little kid.
