Jim also served faithfully for almost two decades, contributing through many roles, not the least his two seperate terms a President.

More information will follow in the days and weeks to come.

Thank you Helen and Jim for your tireless efforts in support of the entire Shawano community.

AHHHH ! Springtime !

andrew.pitt — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 02:00:58 +0000

Springtime, March 20, time to think about the last snow melting at the cottage and the ice becoming slushy ready to clear out of the lake.

This is a time to check properties for any winter damage and plan for a fabulous summer.

Also, an excellent time to pay your 2012 SRI Membership.

See you on the water.

Bears “Love” Garbage

andrew.pitt — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 15:50:14 +0000

Recently several garbage bins were toppled, some moved a distance and some destroyed along Skeen Road and Jennison Road. The alleged cultrits are most likely black bears.

As a reminder, and a caution, do not leave garbage for any length of time in any outdoor bin or container. Racoons are destroying plastic garbage pails this spring, but “the big messes” are most likely cause by bear.

Black bear sightings have been reported in the immediate Shawano area.
