Dear LWBS Members
October 21st, 2006
The second summer of LWBS on the Lakeside grounds opened with a larger work site complete with our own source of electricity and a dock box for supplies and equipment. Begun last summer, “Daisy 3″ was completed and classes continued in restoration of our 1953 Lyman. In addition, our organization began the process of working with Lakeside on how to have “Daisies” safely available for use on Lake Erir. The Second Annual Lakeside Wooden Boat Show was held on the July 4th weekend and despite rain, a growing number of restored wooden boats graced the Hotel lawn. The Lakeside gate staff reported 55 passes sold that day just for the show! The 2006 season ended with our newest program designed just for children-pond boat building. In one week, over 100 children built pond boats and launched them in the Lakeside swimming area. (Whew!)
With each season comes new ideas and new growth wrapped in Lakeside friendship and commitment. Are you ready to look into the 2007 season?
- Cleveland Boat Show: January 12-21st
- Third Annual Lakeside Wooden Boat Show: July 15th
- LWBS Fish Fry: Early summer and/or fall
- As well continued classes in restoration and boatbuilding, as well as seminars of interest to the Lake Erie area.
All these activities are available because of Lakeside’s commitment, your commitment as a member, the generosity of our donors and the unique gifts of our instructor.
As you read this letter please consider renewing your membership or making a donation to Lakeside earmarked for LWBS. (A new membership or renewal would make a wonderful gift!)
Remember, all monies go directly into program materials and instruction
We hope to see you at one or all of these LWBS events and in many seasons to come.
