Volunteerism is one of the hallmarks of Canada Creek Ranch, and we are proud of the involvement of our members! Everything from bake sales to museum planning is done through the unpaid efforts of those who care about our CCR community!

August will be a great month to appreciate, learn about, and become involved in our many committees and events. A showcase will take place on the ballfield on Saturday, August 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Committees will have tables and presentations set up to demonstrate some of their various activities. This is also a great opportunity for members to sign up for a committee! Most committees are open-ended and welcome new members who are interested. Committee chairs are just like any other CCR member – passionate about the mission and legacy of Canada Creek Ranch!

Though there are many committees, a few to highlight would be the recreation committee, the Ladies Auxiliary, the conservation committee, campground committee, and shooting sports committee. The recreation committee is very active, planning several events throughout the year, such as the Memorial weekend treasure hunt, strawberry shortcake festival, chili cook-off, trunk-or-treat with costume and decorating contests, Friday night co****le, Labor Day weekend art show, a Christmas Festival of Lights contest, and potlucks in the winter.

The campground committee is very involved in fundraising events like the Pork Bash and Pie Sale, which have helped fund beautiful additions like the campground pavilion.

The Ladies Auxiliary supports the Atlanta Farmers’ Market with handmade produce bags, donates toiletries to high school students, collects items for food pantries, runs the library and gift shop, and supports other fun events. All women members are encouraged to attend meetings on the first Wednesday of the month.

The conservation committee plans and discusses forestry issues. Volunteers help to refill water tanks out back, plant trees, and take care of fields. This committee advises the boards on their findings and works closely with the CCR biologist. The shooting sports committee recently installed a brand new 5-stand and is working on handicap accessibility and concrete pads. They host shooting events and competitions for hunters, shooters, and newcomers!

One of the most important volunteer coalitions is our board of directors. Directors go over finances, capital improvements, member input, and more. One of our board members, Bob Delecki, even volunteers his carpentry skills regularly – such as for the Big Chair at the beach. New board candidate information is available on the website and in the newsletter, as we will vote on them in September.

Yes, the CCR engine would not run without the passion of volunteers; each committee needs new members and input. August 3 is a good day to consider your involvement. But even if you miss that date, you can contact committee chairs at any time and find out how you can help. Your help will leave a legacy for others! One person can make a difference, just ask the people on a plane. Peace and happiness to you!

For 90 years, Canada Creek Ranch has offered excellent hunting, good friendships, and great family opportunities. Members and families and friends have celebrated this great heritage over the years. The cabins that were built to lodge only hunters now have developed into some very luxurious summer homes and permanent residences. Canada Creek Ranch has grown leaps and bounds over the years.

Needs of members have also grown and with that our amenities. Fishing on five lakes, a restaurant, recreation, activities, and now a new historical committee intent on preserving our heritage. Some families have been here for five generations. Other newcomer families love the community atmosphere, while still being able to enjoy a wilderness landscape, and cite this as their primary purpose for being here.

Yes, we are a hunting club first and foremost, with very active shooting sports programs, such as our 5-stand gun and archery ranges. Our hunters go out every year, set up camps and blinds for grouse, deer, turkey, elk, and maybe someday even bear!

In light of all this, we have a 90th anniversary celebration that is planned for August 23-25 complete with music, auctions, raffles, memorabilia, and apparel to honor the 90 years of CCR existence. Tickets to the grand gala can be purchased through the front desk.

We are so fortunate to have so many volunteers involved every year, including board members who make decisions and take the hits for those decisions when they need to. A lot of that is concern and stewardship toward our forests and lakes and public amenities.

Roads have been well-maintained in spite of all the rainfall we’ve had. Playground equipment was replaced for safer environments for families. Campground upgrades include new Internet service. If our great-grandfathers could only see us now!

Loons still consider us a viable environment as they continue visitation with us throughout the entire summer, along with their loonlets. So many other birds flock to CCR nesting places, including a growing population of hummingbirds and the rare blackbill cuckoo and red-eyed vireo.

Some might complain about the interference and influx of holiday and summer people, but if you look closely, you’ll see families laughing together, walking around the lake together, playing games together. What better instruction have we in our society than the strength of family bonding? CCR way is family-oriented, regardless of activity. New members bring their children and grandchildren to experience what others have known for generations - that this is a place with legacy as a matter of fact.

We will continue to be a legacy - it’s part of our pride and responsibility. As my grandchildren’s great-grandpa used to say, this is God‘s country. We’re only here to take care of it the best we know how and to share it with joy.

Joy - that’s my brother’s dog’s name. Maybe we could all be like that happy puppy, only better house-trained. Peace and happiness to you!

What a huge success the Beach Bash was, thanks to the staff, volunteers, the many varied activities and offerings! From a wide variety of raffles, bake and book sales, food trucks, boat races, and more, members came out in droves to support all the efforts. Kids had the best family times with bike parade, beach sand building, jumping from the rafts, all-day games, and prizes for everyone. Beach bash is in the books, and we already can’t wait until next year!

But summer isn’t over! Kids can still get into the action with crafts every Saturday at the beach pavilion. Then Rebecca Goldberg, science guru and educator, will host CCR’s "Summer of Science" for ages 7 to 14! On July 18 (Thursday) she will offer a Physics Day, where participants will engineer and build race cars from soda cans, learning about energy. Then the very next day on Friday, July 19, she will present Chemistry Day. Kids will make flubber and compete for the stretchiest! On July 26, kids will take a trip through Michigan’s famous rocks with Fossil Day, particularly Petoskey stones. All supplies will be at the workshops for participants. These all will take place at 10:30 a.m. in the Bickley Room.

Adults also can continue the fun with pickleball, meeting at the campground courts Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays, and Saturdays at 9 a.m. Additionally, the dining room at the Ranch House will be open throughout the week, except for Mondays.

Sadly, Canada Creek Ranch recently lost longtime member and volunteer Lenore Howe at 90 years old. Her sense of humor and treats at euchre will be sorely missed.

CCR Book Club met recently and talked about "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. Those who attended enjoyed all the dog training sections and wondered at how Edgar got around his muteness to accomplish what he did. The book is built on the framework of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," with similar familial relationships and even the names of some of the characters. The next book is READER CHOICE! All are invited to pick a book they've never read before from any genre and share it at the next discussion on August 14 at 7 p.m. in the boardroom. All are welcome!

Great news on Barb Steele! She finally had her surgery and now is hoping for healing and mobility! Please remember her in your thoughts and prayers. She will be going through therapy in Saginaw or Hillman. We hope she begins to see the light at the end of all her health tribulations!

Remember to get your 90th anniversary Gala tickets at the Ranch House soon, as a limited amount is being sold! This will be a huge celebratory event! In addition to the Gala on August 24, which will feature exquisite dining, dancing, and drinks, there will also be bands and activities for all that weekend!

Maybe we will see some of our CCR biologists and naturalists performing high kick dancing at the Gala and have our own version of Rockette scientists! Peace and happiness to you!

Established in 1934, many families at Canada Creek Ranch have enjoyed the nature, hunting, fishing, camaraderie, events, shooting, and trails for multiple generations. For the past several years, the Historical committee has been working hard toward the goal of documenting and preserving the history of all of these generations in a Historical Museum at the Ranch. They are almost there with fundraising, and beginning to look over plans to build such a facility.

Part of the fundraising has been the placement of trailers to collect cans for return. These trailers can be found across from the big rock on Ranch House Trail, or in front of the Ranch House parking lot. This may seem like a small effort, but given the participation of our wonderful membership and the efforts of Earl Sower, it has gleaned over $28,000 as of now. A new challenge has gone out to the membership to match that amount.

Members can donate to the challenged amount by sending contributions to the Canada Creek Regional Foundation, and earmarking for the Historical Museum. The physical address is PO Box 501, Onaway, MI 49765, or donors can contribute through the website at ccrf501.com. There is a beautiful “tree” in the Ranch House lobby with donor names on the leaves, which includes copper, silver, and gold levels. Wouldn’t you like your family’s name up there?

Other ongoing efforts for the museum from now until the Labor Day Art Fair are the raffle for an elk-viewing carriage ride and gourmet dinner and a silent auction for a handmade aspen burl lamp. The burl was found in the hunting area by Ross Trim, who designed, created, and then donated it to the committee. It is on display in the Ranch House lobby, as is information on the carriage ride/dinner.

Another talented member, Perry Cooper, has designed a print of Lake Geneva and Tibbit’s Landing for sale for CCR’s 90th anniversary. Members can buy either a framed version for $193.40 or just the print for $19.95. It is signed and numbered, as only 500 will be for sale. They are going fast, so those wanting this beautiful edition can purchase at the Ranch House. The framed version includes professional matting. All proceeds will go to the Historical Committee’s museum goal.

Also, during the 90th anniversary celebration scheduled for August, the committee will sponsor a scavenger hunt. Speaking of anniversary events, Sue Jacobs is looking for 50-year members and families who have been members for 3 or 4 generations to share stories. Contact her for additional information.

As a fourth generation member myself, our family is donating photos and stories to the museum. Real people had the vision and courage to break ground in northern Michigan wilderness. And even though many are gone, the outhouses and hand-pumps attest to many a child’s experience here – mostly spiders, and dark places in the night with no toilet paper. Peace and happiness to you!

Countdown to the Beach Bash, CCR’s big annual summer event! We have so many activities for this week planned! The Ranch House dining room is now open 8 am to 8 pm daily, with an updated menu and fired-up pizza ovens!

The Bluegill Fishing Derby will be held Friday morning, July 5, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. This is a kids’ event, and they can sign up at the beach pavilion. Fish anywhere on Lake Geneva, from a dock or boat, and receive a badge! Kids must supply their own equipment (buckets, poles, bait) and bring their catches back to the pavilion for measurement.

Also on July 5, the CCR General Manager, Brian Rogers, will hold a Coffee, Cookies, and Conversation from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Ranch House Bickley Room. Present any questions you may have about the Ranch.

Next on the same day – Friday – the Recreation Committee hosts a Strawberry Shortcake Fest, with homemade shortcakes, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the beach pavilion. Right afterward, co****le will be at the beach ballfield at 7, but sign up around 6:30 p.m. If you don’t have a partner, they will match you with someone else. Topping off the night, the Kopy Katz band will play at the beach from 7 to 10 p.m.

Saturday, July 6, is when the bash begins! Starting at 8 a.m., members and guests can visit the bake sale for some yummy breakfast and dessert items! From brownies, to apple and strawberry bread, rolls, cookies, and more, be the first ones there before we sell out! Then walk to the other tables and peruse the CCR library sale for your beach reads! A 5k run/walk happens at the rifle range starting at 8 a.m. and a s***t and trap shoot also happens at 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sand building contest at the beach is from 9 to 11 a.m.

Next at noon, the annual bike parade begins! Kids dress up bicycles with red, white, and blue decorations or other unique designs! Shortly after, games for kids and adults begin. Frozen t-shirt contest, potato sack races, and so much more will test your skills. Throughout the day, face painting, food trucks, hayrides, and raffles will add to the fun! A band will play this year instead of the usual DJ music, and t-shirts will be available.

Then later, veterans will march down to the beach, and member Doug Vincent will play taps while the flag is lowered. Another band will top off the evening at the beach! While all events are at the beach this year, remember the dining room is open for buffets and specials! Sunday we’ll have painting classes and more s***t shoots.

Indeed, we will have a spectacular celebration! Local towns like Onaway and Atlanta will have fireworks - Onaway’s is Friday, and Atlanta’s is Saturday at dusk. Don’t watch the fireworks on your tv, though, because that’s a dangerous place to have them! Peace and happiness to you!

Happy Birthday to Barb Steele, the originator of the CCR column and Barb’s Blurbs. She turned 86 on June 18, and was feted by friends, cake, gifts, and cards, along with over 100 Facebook well-wishers. She is still anticipating a fix for her mobility issues, and we all hope she will be back soon at the ranch!

A sizzling hot week with high humidity resulted in cooling rain. Temps are promising to be in the 70s and 80s for Independence Day and Beach Bash weekend. The loons still have both babies on Lake Geneva, and we are waiting to see if the other couple on Wildfowl Lake produces any eggs.

The beach is busy nearly every day, and the shooting range is busy on the weekend. Friday Night Corn Hole has many new-to-the-game players, so don’t be afraid to try it! If you don’t have a partner, they will team you with someone. The Baggy Pants golf outing was a huge success for the Historical Museum benefit! Many participated and had a great round of golf and an ending meal.

Upcoming events include the campground Pork Bash and Pie Auction on Saturday, June 29 from noon to 2 p.m. The dining room is having a BBQ chicken event at the beach, complete with band, on July 1 from 5:30-9:30 p.m. Cookies, Coffee, and Conversation with Brian Rogers, CCR manager, will take place on Friday, July 5, at 11 a.m. in the Bickley Room. Also on July 5, the Recreation Committee will host a Strawberry Shortcake Fest from 5 to 7 p.m. for $5 per person. Then on July 6, there is the book sale, the bake sale, the Beach Bash, sand building contest, food trucks, games, and more!

Wild irises, water lilies, baby birds, and fawns sprinkle the ranch properties, so watch where you step or paddle. One member recently saw a coyote get after a few fawns until the mama scared it away. All new life seems to have survived the past heat wave.

There are many Membership Minute updates so we can be aware of the happenings on the Ranch. Go to canadacreekranch.com and sign in as a member. Don’t have a user name or password? Call or visit the front desk to find out what yours is! Once signed in, click on the Membership Minute at the top of the page. The latest updates will be there, along with those that are archived on the right hand side. The archived ones are organized by categories, so if you wanted to know about the playground equipment, for instance, you would go to the Capital Project section.

Remember you can access the website on your phone or computer. Also, CCR has an app you can get on your phone. Did you know the first computer was traced to Adam and Eve? It was an Apple, but after the first byte, it crashed. Hopefully, you have better luck accessing all of the Canada Creek Ranch technology! Peace and happiness to you!

The grass is now ready for its second cutting, due to all of the late spring rain we’ve had. As we head into much warmer temperatures, members are looking forward to summers off and breathing in the true beauty of northern Michigan. While some of the rest of the country is sweltering, our moderate temps are a blessing to be in the outdoors, including camping in our beautiful campground.

Canada Creek Ranch campground has just upgraded electrical spots and has available internet access, a wonderful shower and laundry facility – and a brand new playground for the kiddos! Add our natural wildlife viewing and beautiful lakes, and members and sponsored guests can enjoy one of the premier campgrounds up north!

The campground committee fundraises for special amenities also. Currently, an evening ice cream social at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 22 is scheduled under the pavilion, and on Saturday, June 29, they will host their annual pig roast and pie sale from noon to 2 p.m. The pie auction begins at 1:00 p.m. This is always a wonderful culinary delight, as members vie for the best pie.

Adjacent to the campground are the well-kept pickleball courts for members to enjoy the latest sports craze. Available at any time for a spot game, the pickleball group also schedules Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9-11 a.m. Newcomers are welcome to try it out and see if they like it!

The Ladies Auxiliary has decided to plan a yummy bake sale during the library book sale, which happens at the Beach Bash, Saturday, July 6. Starting at 8 a.m., book browsers can enjoy a brownie, sweet bread, cookie or more while looking at the large cache of literary goods. Or sneak down before your family is roused and bring back baked deliciousness for breakfast or picnicking later. The book sale and the bake sale support projects which reach out to the membership and the community.

Speaking of the Beach Bash, this should be one of the most fun ever, with food trucks, games, bands, and of course the beach! There will be a bike parade as usual, so kids dress up your bikes to win prizes! T-shirts will be available that day, a frozen t-shirt contest, potato sack race, a 5k run/walk, s***t shooting, and hayrides for even more excitement. All events will take place at the beach, including the bands, this year. Raffles with hotly wanted prizes will benefit the CCR Foundation.

Yes, this summer is panning out just lovely at the Ranch, as we look forward to all of this! Remember to enjoy while keeping your distance from wildlife, keeping our grounds clean, and going slow to accommodate all the bikers, walkers, kids, grandkids, and squirrels. Squirrels go a little nuts and try to race you across the road, hopefully successfully. Sometimes you will see a flat squirrel who couldn’t make a decision, so please heed the motto of driving like a turtle. Peace and happiness to you all.

The loons have become parents in one of the most wondrous events on the Ranch! Two fluffy loonlets now ride on mama’s back and are learning to swim, while dad loon circles around them protectively. The loon calls were constant and different as the eggs hatched and the excitement began. Such sweet images came from our loon-sitter, Sherry Weber, and we thank her for sharing this event so we can watch while not disturbing the family.

June is a bit quiet as far as events go, with the main event happening on Father’s Day. The Historical Committee is sponsoring the Baggy Pants IV Golf Outing at Thunder Bay Golf Resort. There is an 8 a.m. sign in and a putting contest. Then a shotgun start will begin the golfers at 9 a.m. The entry fee is $80 and includes 18 holes, a cart, and a meal. The event supports the Historical Museum. Golfers can sign up at the Ranch House or call Earl Sowers at 517-614-2066.

July really picks up steam, though, first with the Strawberry Shortcake Fest on Friday, July 5. The recreation committee members will be at the beach pavilion from 5-7 pm to serve homemade biscuits, strawberries, and whipped cream. On this Friday also, a fishing tournament, corn hole, a volleyball tournament, and a band will happen at the beach. The Ranch House dining room will have all you can eat fish fry.

The next day is the BEACH BASH, one of the busiest days here at the Ranch, starting with library book sales and the Ladies Auxiliary Bake Sale. Here’s your chance to browse a great collection of reads and buy some sweets for breakfast or for snacks. Come by at 8 am to noon for your reading treasure and your eating pleasure. In addition, there will be a breakfast buffet in the dining room. Also on BEACH BASH day, we will have a raffle with cool prizes like Stanley cups, beach wagon, grill, and fishing equipment, amongst others.

The day will also include a 5k at the rifle range for walkers or runners, starting at 8:30 am. Sandcastle-building will be from 9-11 am at the beach – also t-shirts, bike parade, children and adult games (involving rubber chickens and potato sacks), and food trucks will be on hand. Then in one of the most meaningful events, veterans will march down the hill to lower the flag, while patriotic songs are played and sung. There will also be a daytime and an evening band – all of this happens at the beach!

We’re truly fortunate to have this close-knit community with fun at so many functions! For more information, call the ranch house or visit the Canada Creek Ranch page. Remember to be a turtle as you drive the ranch – slow and steady wins the race! And if you go to the fishing tournament and catch a fish with no eyes, that’s what we call a fsh. Good luck, and peace and happiness to you!

Yellow waterlily buds are now floating past Ruppel Dam on the path around Lake Geneva. These lovely lake plants beautify the top of the lake, while providing fish habitat with their tuberous red roots. Yellow spurge flower-clouds abound along the rocks and roadways now, also. Though delicate and seemingly benign, they will spread willy-nilly if not restrained in yards and gardens. All of the ferns have unrolled, leaving beds of green in the woods, and we have gone through the oak and maple seedling stages here on the Ranch.

Milkweed is also beginning its abundance. Though now just fuzzy leaves, they will pop purple flowers in the summer and cotton-like seedlings in the fall. Butterflies love milkweed, so reconsider whacking them down if you would like to see yellow tiger swallowtails or monarchs on your walks or in your garden.

Memorial Day weekend activities were family-oriented and loads of fun. From the start of corn hole, to pancake breakfast, to treasure hunts in the beach sand, all were laughter-filled. The dining room’s offerings were abundant and delicious. Also a team of members – adults and children alike – headed out back to plant native species. The skies and rain on Monday gave a somber cast for us to remember the fallen war heroes that have protected our families in the United States.

Upcoming events include a Strawberry Shortcake Festival happening on July 5, the night before the annual Beach Bash. Our conservation committee is conducting several fish surveys and forestry tours. 90th anniversary tickets are still being sold for the events in August on the weekend before Labor Day. Shoots continue at the gun range and corn hole will continue on the Ranch House lawn. Playground equipment is in the final stages of placement, and hopefully all of it will be ready for the Beach Bash.

CCR Book Club is meeting June 12 to discuss “Tom Lake” by Ann Patchett. It’s not too late to read about this family that lives and works on a cherry farm in Traverse City. The audio version is narrated by Meryl Streep. We meet in the Board Room at 7 p.m. All are welcome!

The Baggy Pants IV golf outing supporting the Historical Committee’s efforts toward a museum is on Father’s Day, June 16 at Thunder Bay Golf Resort. What a lovely way to spend the day and also help toward our future goals! We expect to see the dads there! You might want to bring two pairs of pants in case you get a hole in one, though.

The population is picking up as summer vacationers arrive in the yellow sunshine. Please remember to keep it slow on the Ranch. Most trails are 20 MPH, except for around the beach area, which is 10. If it’s dusty, and you have a cloud behind your vehicle, please slow down. Here’s a good mantra for the ranch trails – “Be a turtle.” Relax and enjoy the ride. We like to keep the ranch a place of peace and happiness for you.

Time to get the kayaks out! The waterways of Canada Creek Ranch are open and calm, waiting for members to glide through the lovely silk and view turtles, loons, the growing water lilies, dragonflies, and more. A trip around Lake Geneva’s island (referred to by some as Deer Island, because deer would walk out to it) is a quiet delight, and gentle boaters can see the nest and mama and papa loon from afar. The more adventurous can kayak on Canada Creek from Doty Trail Park to Horsehead Lake. Hopefully the beavers have not set up shop so portaging is necessary.

It has been off and on dry and dusty on the trails. Some dust control was placed on most main roads, and we did get some rain, which was helpful. Be aware of the Smokey Bear signs, though, that tell us if it’s okay to have a campfire. Please adhere to any dangerous days!

The ranch activities are picking up speed: corn hole is every Friday night on the Ranch House lawn, pickleball games can be picked up, especially on the weekends, the ranges are hosting weekend shoots, and committees are making plans for events, elections, and education. The Ladies Auxiliary just hosted the Mexican fiesta Spring Fling, and Chef Chuck did it again with so much and so varied fare from south of the border. The event also featured contests and a silent auction, which rounded out the fun. Another upcoming event is the Father’s Day golf outing put on by the Historical Society. Dubbed “Baggy Pants IV,” it will be held at Thunder Bay Golf Course. The entry fee includes a putting contest, 18 holes of golf, a meal, and a cart. Golfers can sign up at the ranch house or call Earl Sower at 517-614-2066.

We are all praying for our main correspondent, Barb Steele, as she is healing and anticipating surgery to achieve her mobility goals. If you know of anyone that could use a get well card, please send an email to Marilyn Clark at [email protected]. This is a function of the Ladies Auxiliary also. Another service is the produce bag project. Members can donate clean t-shirts to the box in the Ranch House entry, and the auxiliary makes them into bags to be donated to the Atlanta Farmers’ Market. The market is now open on Saturdays. This is another way that CCR helps the community outside of its own gates.

So if you show up to the farmers’ market, peas be kind to each other, and don’t be someone who doesn’t carrot all. Be sure to say eggs-cuse me if you accidentally bump someone, and romaine calm. I’m rooting for you! Peach and happiness to you!

Hummingbirds are busily floating around all of the red and purple flowers on the ranch. If you are able to put flowers out where deer can’t eat them, that is. Hummingbird activity happily pollinates the trumpets and pistils of our potted plants, though many opt for hummingbird feeders. Feeders should be on the condition of just using sugar water with no dyes. They are called hummingbirds because of the humming of their beating wings.

Other winged creatures which have not been so pleasant this month have been gnats and midges. Although short lived, they have swarmed residences, especially those close to the lakes. The gnats seemed to have been replaced by midges, which are harmless unless you are a mouth breather. We are hoping they are on the waning side of life expectancy, particularly as the holiday approaches and many more members come to enjoy Canada Creek Ranch.

The lake has warmed up enough for dogs to enjoy Tibbits Landing, but maybe not for those of us without fur. The Ranch has begun implementing goose prevention, with waving flags and string. The Canada geese already have offspring, which are really cute and fluffy, but we would like them to populate and p**p in other spots than beach areas. And our resident loon watcher, Sherry Weber, informs us that now the loons have eggs in their nest! So stay your distance while kayaking in the lake. We want them to hang out with their calls for many years!

There will be many events for Memorial holiday weekend, including those on the beach. On Saturday, the campground will hold its annual pancake breakfast at the pavilion from 8 to 10 a.m. There will be a native planting at noon at the Emerald Pond out back off South Gate Trail. Historical trivia will be the entertainment in the evening at the campground pavilion – sign up your team at the Ranch House. On Sunday, May 26, a 3-D shoot will take place at the archery range with bows for shooters to use. Also on Sunday kids can enjoy a treasure hunt and find coins in the sand at the beach at 11 a.m.

The Ranch House dining room will be open with Friday fish fry, Saturday all day offerings, and Sunday breakfast buffet. Families can all eat together at the long tables in our dining room. Chef Chuck is planning some very special entrees for the Memorial weekend.

Please don’t forget to fly your flags for Memorial Day. This is a day of remembrance of those in the military who have died for our country. Your patriotism honors those men and women, even the nurses who served and died in the wars, as we learned from our recent book club reading.

So even if flags can’t talk, they can wave instead to show respect. Also when you’re on the ranch and pass a fellow member, don’t forget the CCR wave! It’s a tradition we want to keep in the CCR family! Peace and happiness to you.
