February, 1988

Dear Friends, 

Here we are at the start of another year.  Each seems to come faster and faster I hope that doesn't mean what think it does.  We want to wish you all a belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.  We certainly appreciate hearing from so many of you during the holidays.  After a house fire and medical problems in '87, we are certainly looking forward to a good 1988. 

It's hard to believe we have completed six summers.  Each one seems to get better.  Such good friends we have made.  Some happy highlights of '88 include:

• Fun in the Jacuzzi
• Frustration when lightning closed it down for two weeks
• Another year of stocking walleye and musky in our lakes - Those of five years ego are ready for the catching!
• Pleasure from having Ervin Lemke, 91, and Lu Bowman, 87, still able to enjoy White Birch Village
• At the other end of the spectrum, we had as guests, two Brandon's, each 4 months old
• Entertainment from Oscar, the large-mouth bass in the creek, as he jumped for food 
• Red Oaks and Wood Duck rebuilt and enjoyed 
• Many happy children active on the playground playing in the sand and water paddle boating, and seeking treasures be it at the end of a fishing pole, in the woods, or from an organized treasure hunt. 
• Always the thrill of a musky caught, especially if it was a first. 
• How many might still be wearing the bracelet you made at White Birch Village? Thanks to Courtney for excellent instruction. 
• Fall was a beautiful September, enhanced, as always, by Paul and Glenna
• Many amities happily vacationing together

Construction and improvements were limited this winter. However, BlueBill will have a new kitchen and the lodge has a new look. We are looking forward to our seventh season and seeing all of you.
