The Piano
Lake Country Cottage Members would like to thank 
Dave and Sandy Munson of Walker for their generous donation of a beautiful piano. Now housed in it’s new home in the Cottage living room, the piano will not only bring enjoyment to those practicing, learning and relearning to play, but will deliver a sense of festivity and community to all who hear it. Thank you!
The Garage Sale
-
Nala, Supervisor, made a new friend at the Sale.
The second annual Member garage sale was a huge success! Members of the Lake Country Cottage had a great time sorting, pricing and laughing together…and it paid off. In two days, they raised over $750 for outings and group activities that promote good mental health! Members decide how to spend the 100% of the funds. Last year’s proceeds went to fund many activities, such as Friday barbeques (affectionately known as “Grill Baby Grill!”), trips to Itasca State Park, and an occasional pizza party.

The Pergola
We’re continuing 
to look for ideas for the floor of the Pergola. We’ve been doing some head scratching and concluded that we’ll likely install some flagstone pavers. In the meantime, it’s a nice comfortable space tucked into the trees. Ideas on flooring are welcome. We’re also working on transplanting grape vines, that we hope will eventually cover the upper portion and bring even more shade and comfort to the environment.
The Picnic
All Cottage Members and ARMHS recipients are invited to the 8th Annual Lake Country Associates Community Programs’ Picnic. The picnic will be from 11-1 on Wednesday, August 29th at Heartland Park in Park Rapids. For more information about the picnic, call Lake Country Associates at 218-366-9229.
