Our new community member, Donna O'Meara, has renamed her home on Shangri La Circle. Formerly Deerfield, it is now "HALE KAI", which is Hawaiian for "ocean house". Pronounced HAH-lay KA-ee.
Donna says, "After living in Hawaii for 3 decades I needed to bring a bit of Aloha to Whidbey". Aloha Donna! Special thanks to Ron Roberts & son, Carol Green, Elise Smith and Faye Magnusson for their recent community efforts. Ron resurfaced the shuffle board, Carol refinished picnic tables and Elise & Faye spiffed up the community entry sign area. More volunteers are always appreciated! Here's what's needed: Pitch in if you can and let us know if you are. · Resurfacing the tables and benches in the park · Weeding the ivy area in the park. · Clean the plastic chairs in the picnic area · Clean the fire pit monthly, May - September · We are always looking for firewood ![]() Update August 2016: Shuffleboard is now painted and ready for a game! Thank you volunteers! First picture is a "before" shot to remind you how bad it looked after the March 16th storm. Now after many resident volunteers pitched in to clean up and do repairs - WOW! It looks great! Special kudos to everyone who worked so hard to make our Shangri-La beautiful again.

A bit of history: Picture is Sandy Roberts (holding the netted fish) and friend fishing off Race Lagoon. The fish is a large king just caught by Sandy. The boat is a 14 foot plank hulled Storm King outboard that Ron & Sandy's parents (Trevor & Harriette Roberts) rented at the Shangri-La Shores resort. They had 5 of these and another 5 slightly larger 16 foot Reinell inboards. You can barely make out the "Whido-Isle" logo on the side of the boat. Quite a catch, Sandy!
Last week's high winds & waves tore up our picnic and our boat ramp turn around areas. Also a lot of driftwood and trash need to be removed before the damage can be assessed and plans made for repairs. Here's a picture of the driftwood in the picnic area. It's deeper than it looks. Most of our gravel is gone and replaced by a thick bed of debris: The community is planning a work party next weekend, Saturday March 26 1-3 pm to clean up the areas. Your help is needed! Meanwhile, this weekend Rob Marsicek, David Heron & Nancy Reed dived in to begin the job. Much of the large pieces of driftwood were moved back to the beach: So come out next weekend to help your community!
