Skookum Activities Committee
The volunteer committee members ended last season with lots of great ideas, events and support for this coming season. We will be adding more events and offering a helping hand to anyone wanting to have or hold an activity. The contact information below will enable you to contact your neighbor committee member. They will share the responsibilities of assisting homeowners in putting on events, calendar scheduling, making flyers, sign-up lists, organizing the bulletin board, printing tickets, and managing the activity funds. So if you are interested in joining the committee, volunteering, putting on an event, or simply sharing an idea, let your committee know.

Kudos Korner
Our very first Kudos for the season have to go to Carol & Terry Enzor, our winter management team. This was a record snow fall year for much of the northwest and Skookum got its fair share. Keeping the roads cleared all the way out to LeClerc was only one of Terry’s jobs. Carol could be counted on to have the Lodge open and a warm fire going. The friendly voice when you called the Lodge was Carol. If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Carol & Terry in person you can find them relaxing on Lot #32.	Your Vote Counts Skookum would like to congratulate Charles “Chuck” Anderson, Lot # 92 for a successful election to the Lenora Water & Sewer District Board. Thank you Chuck for stepping forward and showing your commitment and support. Your service is appreciated. Thanks to all who voted ! Chuck can be reached at 509.671.2925	Dan Welch Lot # 23 was spotted this afternoon in the park with rake in hand going from lot to lot raking and cleaning up the pine cones and pine needles on his neighbors lots. We spotted about 12 piles of debris and he was still going strong. What a nice thing to do Dan! Gus & Brenda we will all miss you. Thank you for serving your neighbors.
