Thanks to all the Volunteers for the 2019 Barnes Lake Club Annual Picnic! We would like to recognize and express our sincere thanks to all the people who volunteered to make the 2019 Barnes Lake Annual picnic so successful. We had 157 adults and 50 children attend, 207 total!
Prize Raffle Chairs: Betty & Walter Rogers and Shelly & Shaun Ranney and their awesome helpers. Raffle Sales: Rod Mills. He sure knows how to sell those tickets!! A Very Special Thanks to all who donated their hand-crafted items. Sadly, Betty has chosen to semi-retire as the Raffle Chair. Thank you Betty Rogers for your many years of faithful Service! Set up and Clean up: A huge thank you to all the behind the scene crew that always show up in mass to make it all com together before and after the picnic. (You all know who you are, too many to list) THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thanks to Boy Scout Troop #214 for setting up the 2 huge canopies to protect us from the Sun. Bryan’s Market for the Delicious Food. They make it easier for more of us to enjoy the picnic. So we do not have to use so many volunteers to cook and clean in the food area. Kids Games: Our Chair, Melinda & Jeff Bradley, Awesome Job! We had approximately 50 kids enjoy all the games and prizes. (Of course. the frozen tee shirt is their favorite). Greeters: Leigh Owen and Sherry Osborn. Thank you Ladies! And of course Mother Nature. WOW she did great again this year!! What a Perfect Day! It was so much fun to see our Barnes Lake neighbors bond and enjoy such a Great Day. Next year’s picnic is Saturday, August 1, 2020. Hope you all have a healthy & mild Winter! See you in the Spring! Submitted by Linda Zukonik 2019 Barnes Lake Flotilla

2019 Annual Halloween Party & Hayride
The Halloween Party/Hayride is October 19, 2019 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
Hayride pickups on Lakeshore, Indian Trail and Peninsula Drive to the club house which leaves the clubhouse at 5:15 pm for pickups along the way. Dress for the weather. Last hayride trailer leaves the clubhouse around 6:15 pm. If you miss the Hayride pickup, please feel free to provide your own transportation to the clubhouse. We will keep the clubhouse open until around 7:30 depending on how busy we are. Like last year, we will be giving out cider and donuts, games, crafts for all ages and plenty of candy. Costumes are welcome especially for the little ones. While the hayride is fun, it is dark at this time of day, so we ask the parents to watch your kids a little extra while on the hayride. There will be return trips. While volunteers from last year’s event will be working, we can always use a few more volunteers to make this a nice event. If interested, please call Pam Reid at 810 614-5704. Dress for the weather as part of the event area is not heated. Everyone around the lake is welcome. If you would like to donate candy to the party, please drop off your donation at the clubhouse on Saturday, October 19 between 10 and 11 am. Mark your calendars for this fun event in October.

Washakie Golf and RV Resort hosted another successful Barnes Lake Golf Outing on September 14th. 13 teams with 52 golfers competed for bragging rights and incredible prizes. Mother Nature cooperated this year and we had a beautiful Michigan late summer day to socialize with our neighbors and chase little white balls all over North Branch. Bryan’s Market catered our after-golf lunch and everyone had plenty to eat.
We were able to donate $540.00 to the Barnes Lake Club Fund. Debbie Shea did an outstanding job running the 50/50 drawing and Red Tees and Mulligan’s were also available for a small donation and many golfers took advantage of these to lower their score. A “BIG THANKS” to all the golfers and volunteers that made this year’s Barnes Lake Golf Outing a blast. Also a “HUGE THANKS” to all the folks who gave generous donations of door prizes. Next year we will do it again the second Saturday of September. Mark your calendars and start working on your game. Submitted by: Rod Quick Neighborhood Watch
