Please join us this weekend to honor our dear friend, Cassie. ♥️
We look forward to a wonderful turn out! 🛶🏕️
🛶 As Paddle Around Rose approaches this coming weekend, we take a moment to slow down. To reflect on the peacefulness of the event. No engines, no wake, just a person or group of people paddling across calm waters. Three things are happening at the same time. 1. The participants are outside, enjoying the nature we are blessed with at the lake. 2. The dock volunteers are out there engaging with fellow neighbors, joyfully bringing us together. 3. Raising funds for our lake health, as part of our association.
Behind everything that happens, is a person or group of people, that make it happen. For this event, it was Cassie Ohlrich. She had a vision and put it into fruition. Paddle Around Rose encompasses everything Cassie loved. Nature, neighbors, family, friends, and purpose. Sadly, earlier this year, Cassie passed away. She was an amazing person. Whether you knew her or not, your lake life has her fingerprints on it. She was in charge of the lake activities, including Paddle Around Rose. Along with her brother, Jace Cole, they have improved our lake engagement over the last 5 years- bringing us together.
Our design for the shirts this year honor her for her contributions to Rose Lake. Her initials are on the paddles, her and her husband’s silhouette is in the year, and her presence is with the Paddle Around Rose event. Our deepest condolences to Cassie's family and friends. We will continue on with what you started, in honor of you, a very special person: Cassie Ohlrich.🩷 Paddle On…
