Ladies of the Lake Feb 16 Luncheon

Ten ladies gathered at the Chapbook Café last Thursday and enjoyed good food and lots of conversation. We had a lot of catching up to do!!

The next luncheon will be on Thursday, February 16th at Gracie’s Place in Williamson at 11:30 a.m. All "ladies of the lake" are invited for more good food, more great conversation and an opportunity to view artwork on display done by lake resident Peggy Lovejoy. Her artwork will be on exhibit throughout the month of February, so if you can’t make it on the 16th, perhaps you could stop by another time.

RSVP to Jayne Henderson at hender10@msu.edu so the appropriate number of reservations can be made.

Tundra Golf - February 11

Note: Ice conditions have required a postponement of Tundra Golf until February 11th.

What It’s All About: Four person scramble in the snow/ice. Cash prizes, awards and food provided!

Where: Right on the Lake! Starting point will be at Lake Lansing Park South. With plenty of parking, this makes it easy for ALL to park and attend.

When: Saturday, February 11th.

Time: 2:30

Then What: We’ll all head across the street to The Mayfair for food, soda, awards and fun!

Who: The team captain is to be a Lake Lansing resident but other teammates can be friends or family.

Fee: $15 PP which includes food, cash to winners & prizes.

How It Works: Each team captain will be responsible for their own tee off box and “green”. If there is snow, you will need to shovel/snow blow to make a putting surface. Holes will already be drilled 1 inch deep with an ice auger and flag pole erected. Decorate, post signs, serve snacks and make your hole the best for awards!

Tips: If there is a lot of snow, white golf balls may not be a good idea! Bring as many clubs as you want but leave the woods at home.

Call Blake and Jill Weston At 339-6828 today to reserve your hole! If you have any questions, please contact Steve Carpenter at 517-410-0895

Email Address Changes for LLPOA-eNews

Some property owners have sent email address changes to the Webmaster, Membership Chair or VP for Communications. These changes will make their way into the Lake Lansing Directory.

However, LLPOA-eNews is completely separate from the Directory. LLPOA-eNews is a "do-it-yourself" system. If you have an email change, you will need to make it yourself in the LLPOA-eNews system.
