Children’s Fishing Derby The Lake Dalecarlia Annual Children’s Fishing Derby was held on Saturday, July 29. We could not have had a more perfect weather day for the event, and it was a terrific day for fishing. We had 20 children par-ticipate and they caught a total of 67 fish. The winner of the Minnow Group (ages 6-9) had the following winners: Braderick Hehr for the most caught, Kaitlyn Kennedy for the smallest fish and Maddie Hehr for the heaviest fish. The winner of the Bass Group (ages 10-12) had the following winners: Zack Smith for the heaviest fish, Zack Graham for the smallest fish and Luca Rumbaack for the most caught. Congratulations to the winners and to all the kids who participated. Hopefully you had a great time. I also want to thank John Breneman, Section 6 rep., Don Stone, Section 1 rep., Jim Maziarka, and LaVerne Abbott for their help in taking the fish off the lines and measuring and weighing the fish. They certainly were a big help be-cause the kids were catching the fish so fast. And a big Thank You to Julie Smith, from the Sportsman Den located in Cedar Lake (also, section 2 rep), for donating the bait and getting the trophies. Please be sure to stop by her store and check out all of the great items she has. And, of course, a thank you to the Lake Dale residents who brought their kids and helped out with baiting the hooks for their kids. Hope-

fully, we will see you next year. See you then.

Thank You A great big thank you to Dorothy Grauer for her time and dedication in making the fishing derby such a

great success.

LDPOA Outlots THANK YOU to the numerous volunteers that silently maintain the various POA Outlots. Our community always looks so nice and that is due to fact that we have so many people that truly care! The outlots include the Lake Dale Trail, beach areas, as well as other areas in our community. Please know that we are grateful for all you do and it does

not go unnoticed!

Here’s my story….. As a new full-time resident in the fall of 2014, I knew my immediate neighbors but wanted to meet more community members, hence I joined the Lake Dalecarlia Women’s Club. It wasn’t to be part of a clique but meet new people and in turn help out the local community with volunteer services I choose to do. I’m writing this because I be-lieve others in the community feel there are specific “cliques” estab-lished whether it’s the Women’s Club, the POA Committee or the vol-unteer Fire Department. By the way, clique means having something in common. I’m sure there are others in our little community, men and women that would like more social activities to get to know one anoth-er. Having a monthly regatta is a wonderful way to meet people during the summer but that’s only a few times during the summer. Would anyone like to join me in coming up with ideas? I’m not proposing that if you contact me that either you or any of us would be stuck with the task to execute. It would be nice to know if there is an interest. Sue
