I would like to extend a special thank you to Rita Long, chairperson, and her committee members for dedicating their time and energy generating creative ideas to make this wonderful area that we call home even more special.

FRIENDS of LAKE SHANNON: August 12, 2014
Because Lake Shannon is such an extraordinary place to live, and in an effort to keep our dues low, this new committee has been formed to enhance the natural beauty and functionality of our community, through volunteer activities and donations. Currently, Rita Long-Huizenga, Dana Blasko and Kim Katch are on this committee.
This committee reports to Randy Andreen, the new Roads/Parks/Islands & Mosquito Control Board Member. We met to discuss both short and long-term projects, as well as possible fund-raising events to fund new improvements and enhancements. Friends of Lake Shannon is not affiliated with the Sportsmen’s Club, and we include men, women and children.
To date $200 has been donated, and a short-term goal of getting picnic tables on the Twin Islands is being considered as a first step to enhancing and improving the quality of our recreation areas. This is a good place to begin. Other suggestions???
We are looking for creative ideas, donations of time and physical help, and money donations.
Please consider when and how you can contribute. We realize that some folks will be able to give their ideas, while others can offer physical help and volunteer with the whole family. Some want to donate cash, and are considering including Friends of Lake Shannon in their estate planning. Any level of support is welcome and appreciated. We are establishing The Shamrock Club to thank and acknowledge all contributors. More to follow on that.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP, PLEASE DOWNLOAD, COMPLETE & RETURN TO: Rita Long-Huizenga at [email protected] or 7262 Driftwood Drive or 810-625-1703.
Thanks for your consideration and call with questions or information.

Friends of Lake Shannon
Lake Shannon is such an extraordinary place to live and several individuals have offered to participate in forming a committee designed to promote the natural beauty of our area through volunteer activities and donations. This is a new committee which would report to the board of directors “Parks and Islands” trustee. There are many areas that this committee would like to focus on including parks and islands improvement through clean up of the pathways and installation of park benches, flowers etc. Other ideas may also involve improving the appearance of our Lake Shannon entranceways near the roads.
I would like to thank Rita Long for generously agreeing to “chair” this committee. She has already spent many hours working with her committee members generating creative ideas to make this wonderful area that we call home even more special. I look forward to all the activities planned to raise funds for these beautification projects.
