  We are looking for more volunteers to help with this event!

1. Family Children’s daytime events.  Thanks to Eric and  Jessica Cohen who have volunteered to lead this portion. 
2. Shady Beach History – the written and oral history of our subdivision and Orchard Lake.  We’ll look to assemble photo boards through the years, and identify those who want to speak about this very special place and the people that have influenced it through the years. 
   1. We are looking for volunteers to help organize this and assemble the picture boards, articles and special speakers.
