A great time was had by all!

The Ferris Community Summer Band, directed by Dr. Scott Cohen, returned to the Castle again this year to put on a great performance.  Although the weather did not allow us to enjoy the performance outside the music inside sounded great. 

Dr. Jihad A. Mustapha, M.D., FACC, FSCAI gave a very informative presentation on Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and other medical issues.  The presentation was held on June 4th at the Highland Haus and was attended by approximately 50 Canadian Lakes Members.

Nice evening discussing the benefits of laughter.  48 Canadian Lakers enjoyed sharing stories, visiting and refreshments.

The CLA sponsors an Easter Egg Hunt for all of the kids and grandkids of current CLPOC members and their guests.  It is always a huge success and lots of fun for the kids.

The CLA hosted the "Chase the Winter Blues Away" Potluck on March 4th!  Great food, friends, and music!

The CLA Annual Winter Carnival was held on Saturday, February 9th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Highland Haus and Alpine Haus.  Although the weather conditions and the condition of the snow caused the cancellation of all outdoor activities except the Ice Skating Rink, a good time was had by all that attended.  Dee Jay the Clown entertained children and adults alike with his Clown Show and Balloon Animals at the Alpine Haus.  The kids were also kept entertained with a variety of crafts and non-permanent tattoos.  Everyone enjoyed the hot dogs, baked beans, chips, cookies, hot chocolate and coffee.

The CLA Board of Directors wish to thank all of the Community Volunteers, the CLPOC Maintenance Department, CLPOC Safety and Mobile Watch, Dennis Wolfe, Rick Kempton and his team from Coldwell Banker Lakes Realty and Chip Issette and his team from Century 21 White House Realty for helping to serve and for setting up tables to greet our visitors and hand out a variety of promotional items.  And thank you to everyone who came out to make this a fun day.
