Welcome 2008!

Welcome to the new season for the MKPC!!   We have an exciting new year planned and hope that all of you will enjoy all of our events.
Our first event was held on March 8th at our Presidents home.  A great time was had by all, and details will be added soon to our past events section.

I hope that you all received the first newsletter and have added our dates to your calendars.

Just a reminder.  If you did not receive my mass email message to the membership prior to the newsletter, please email me and provide me with your email address.

Thank you!

THIRD ANNUAL MKPC PLANNING RETREAT
AUGUST 23-24 2008

THE ORRIS COTTAGE near PORT SANILAC, MICHIGAN
COFFEE 9:00AM START TIME 9:30 AM SATURDAY

Gil & Sharon Orris will again be opening their cottage for this fun and exciting event. Their cot-tage is located about 40 Miles north of Port Huron. Sessions will be held in the gazebo built in the middle of a 150’ X 60’ Koi pond. This year we are streamlining the planning process to make time for two new exciting sessions. Ray Alexander will host a session on fish identification, patterns and fish selection. We are working on a second presentation on fish health which may include use of a microscope, fish scraping, water testing and other learning opportunities. Both sessions will have time for Q&A. These sessions will be optional, so if one or both of them isn’t your cup of tea, you may choose from other activities available.
The club will supply refreshments throughout the day including a picnic lunch with hot dogs and chips. An evening Potluck supper will be supplemented by grilled burgers, and sweet corn cooked over a campfire. For those able to spend the night or stay late there will be fun in the evening, maybe hot dogs and s’mores around the campfire. Who knows what other surprises may be in store.
There will be time to enjoy the Koi and fish in the natural bottomed pond, puzzles to work on, and a horseshoe pit ready for competitors. There are also miles of walking trails through the 45 acres of woods with plenty of wildlife for viewing.
Campers are invited to come either Friday evening or Saturday morning and stay through break-fast on Sunday morning. There is no cost. There are some electrical hookups available and space for tents, conventional and pop-up trailers or motor homes. If camping isn’t your thing, there are several motels & B&B’s in the area including one in a historic home. For those unable to stay over, please come and join us for Saturday. You will love the fellowship and visiting with fellow ponders.

For reservations or questions call Gil Orris at 586 465-0020 or 810 543-1791. He will give you more details. PLEASE CALL NOW & MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS FOR THIS FUN EVENT! There is a prize for the first and 5th person to call in their reservations.
