Club House – Rich Goodman Mary and I wish we could be with you celebrating this holiday weekend, but family obligations require us to be out of town. Wow, it’s already September, another summer is flying past. Our clubhouse has served us well this summer. Bar sales have been brisk, our kitchen has been busy, new fans have helped cool us during those hot days, and the rooms upstairs were often full. Early in the season many members helped with major renovations in the manager’s apartment. Hope you have had a chance to peek in and look. Maintenance and upgrades are on going in the clubhouse so we can remain the showplace of the lake. Your suggestions are very helpful as we continue the work of our building. Too soon it will be time to prepare for another Michigan winter. As usual we will need all hands I. CURRENT BUSINESS  
