**– Annual Lake Association Member Hog Roast –**

 
September 24,2022
Meeting @11:00am Lunch @ Noon
Lake Association will provide silverware, plates, cups and drink.
Please bring a side dish or dessert to share!
NEW THIS YEAR
Do you have a side dish or dessert that is family gathering famous? Potatoes that are rave worthy? A cake that everyone eats first so they don’t miss out? Well bring that favorite dish and you could win fame and fortune. (well at the hog roast at least)
This year we will have voting for the best side dish and best dessert. The winners of each will receive a $50 Gift Card to one of our sponsor restaurants. And if you’re willing to share that secret recipe we would like to publish it in an upcoming Lake Association Newsletter.
Bring your chairs, a smiling face and great ideas.

LaGrange County REMC Broadband will begin in our area this Fall, with completion date by Fall 2023, and pre-registration has already begun!  Areas with the highest pre-registration will be the first to be on the list to receive.  The more interest shown, the fastest our lake community will receive much faster and more reliable internet services.  This fiber optic network will allow for more options for internet TV, phone service and even security cameras.  Even if you’re still on the fence about getting high speeds at a great cost, Help Our Community by going to this website and pre-register.  Thank you!
