June 29, 2008 - Welcome To Shavehead Lake!

Shavehead Lake "Kodak Moment" of the Week

Hi Everyone- there was a "misprint" in the Shavehead Lake Wave newsletter you received this weekend..  The Fireworks and the Flotilla are both on Saturday, the 5th- not the 4th, sorry about the typo!!
If you haven't sent in your donation for the fireworks as of yet, but would like to contribute, please call Scott at 269-476-9327 and let him know your check is in the mail, so he can count your contribution in the order for the display..  Thank You for all of your generous donations, and we'll look forward to another great display again this year!

To date, we have seven "Pirate Ships" registered for the flotilla, and of course there's plenty of room for more, so be sure to call Mike at 269-641-2929 to register your ship, or send an email to flotilla2008@shaveheadlake.com with your boat number and contact info- (lake addresss / phone numbers / the number of your boat, etc.)  We're still working on the "treasures" for this years event, but rest assured, they will be great, matey!  Looking forward to seeing all of you "Pirates" out there on the Shavehead Lake "Sea"!!
Have a great Fourth of July weekend everyone!
(It Doesn't Get Better Than This)
