LAKE WABAUNSEE NEWS
Summer 2010
Ahhh! My favorite time of year. When “work” can be done with the laptop and a glass of wine on top of the boat house as the sun sets and the pontoon boats circle. The jet skiies and the birds are settling into home for the night; the fireflies will soon appear. And, oh, here come Ron & Greg with their rods & reels and I can see George leaving port escorting the ladies on their sunset cruise! Life at Lake Wabaunsee is good, as we set out to celebrate those hard times when our forefathers drew a line in the sand and declared our independence from our former comfort zone and set a new course:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
Have you taken a stand lately that required a pledge with others that required your very life and your fortune? I think today we esteem our “Sacred Honor” too lightly and don‘t rely enough on “Divine Providence“ for our protection. It’s rewarding to make an effort to put ourselves in our forefather’s shoes and recreate their mindset. I think that’s an important place to live as we progress through this current election year. Even while we can enjoy our solitude from the cares of the nation, we must not neglect our civic duties. We would be living a different life if our forefathers neglected theirs…

Independence Day Activities |
Neighborhood Watch |
Mona will be hosting kids activities at the bait shop on the 3rd since she‘s so busy on the 4th. You might want to start your mornings on the golf course while it’s cool. No tournaments are scheduled so that you and your guests are welcome to golf whenever. Later on the 4th, decorate your boat with an “election year” theme of your choosing and meet at the bait shop at 5:50 pm for a 6:00 start to the Annual Independence Day Boat Parade. Once again the Volunteer Firemen will be shooting off the community display from the Dam at dark-thirty. Be sure to have your check ready as they pass the boot when they drive the fire truck around the lake in the afternoon. We need to be sure we pay for our party if we want it to continue year after year. |
The Sheriff’s Dept is organizing a neighborhood watch for our community and Sherry Kriegshauser has volunteered to be in charge. They will get this established during the month of July with signs and stickers for those interested in being a part of -------------------------------------------- |
