Shady Celebration

We are quickly approaching our celebration at Shady!  It is on Saturday,July 6!
We are planning a family breakfast and program, and of course, ICE CREAM!
I know there are certain families that provide specific things for breakfast, but I'm not exactly sure who and what.  Here is a little list of of what we need people to bring.  Please respond to this email and let me know what you're willing to bring.
Scones
Honey butter
Sausage
Bacon
Pancakes
Juice
Milk
Syrup
Butter
Salt & Pepper
Ketchup
We thought it would be fun to fill the soda cooler too. If you want to bring soda or blocked ice that would be great!
Each family is responsible for their own paper products and plastic utensils.
Thanks so much for helping!
We can't wait to see everyone there!

Shady Clean-up time!

Hi all!
Just a quick reminder that our Shady clean-up day is this Saturday, June 8!
Bring your shovels, clippers, chainsaws, rakes, gloves, etc.
My family was there last weekend, along with a couple others doing some clean-up. 
Thanks to the Darin Thompson family for cleaning up the Moose House!
Thanks to the Ron Packer Family for cutting down tall weeds in the main area!
We have a group camping overnight this Friday and doing a service project for us.  They will be fixing the fence around the volleyball area.  Thanks to Bart Bess!
Plan to arrive at Shady after 9am to give them time to clear out!

Here is a list a a few things we noticed that need to be worked on:
-one toilet in the girls side of the Moose House is missing a handle to flush
- the big branch that grows above the playground is getting lower, and needs to be removed with a chainsaw so none of the kids get hurt
- There are plenty of leaves that need to be raked and removed
- Bring a mop to clean the Moose House floors
- There's a large pile of branches and sticks by the flag pole in the main area that needs to be chopped and stacked for fire wood
- The main fire pit needs to be dug out
- We would like to move the 2 Lifetime picnic tables from the lawn area to the eating area and replace one of the older tables.  The older table can be broken down and removed from Shady.
- Please bring trucks to remove any junk and trash from family areas and main area.  Let's keep Shady nice!
- If any one wants to mow or weed whack the main area the week of the 4th, that would be awesome!
We also have a wish list for the future!  If you have any great ideas how to accomplish these, or know someone that could help with them, let me know!
- We are bringing up a couple more swings before the 4th! 
- We need to repair or replace the benches around the fire in the main area.
-  If someone could work on the hill coming into Shady, it needs some evening out.
A huge thanks to our faithful water guys!  Always taking care of that for us without many people knowing about their hard work!  We appreciate you Wayne and Wayde and anyone else that helps with that!
Thanks so much to everyone for helping take care of Shady!  Looking forward to our clelbration this year on July 6th!  Sign-ups for food will be coming around in a couple of weeks!  Remember you can pay your dues on our family website.
