You can always help us by doing some frying, shuffling the eggrolls & other food to the booth (via Roger Deleeuw’s golf cart!) and clean up!

Afterwards, we will be storing it behind the food shelf building until the ground freezes up and we can move to the back of the church for the fish frys.

Enjoy your time and family, Larry! KC Park Improvements! The KC Board passed unanimously the installation of a new acoustic ceiling for the KC Park building. The council will pick up 75% of the cost while the Association will contribute 25%. New lights and fan extensions will also be added. Additional work we discussed will be the scraping, priming and painting of one outbuilding and the completion of the vinyl siding on the other. The association feels that all of the people who have rented the hall in the past have appreciated the good price (currently $250), the convenience of facility itself, and they want to maintain it in good shape for future rentals!
