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 beautiful golden sunrise this morning -

A butterfly rests on our beach.  Anyone know the type?

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!
