Cinosam Club

Join your Cinosam neighbors and celebrate the end of another great summer.  Oktoberfest will be held on Saturday, September 30th at 4:00PM in the park.

BYOB and a dish to share.  Brats and fixings will be provided for all.  Come for the festivities and stay for the bonfire.

A special thank you to Jena Riley for designing and printing our new colorful Oktoberfest signs.

A new plaque has been placed next to the Cinosam Eagle to tell the story and acknowledge everyone in our community that came together to make it a reality.  Our residents, and the original eagle, have risen from the 2015 storm stronger and more resilient.

A special thank you to Maria Fedorczuk-Vescio and all other eagle volunteers and contributors.

The first ever Cinosam Auction was held on September 2nd. Our fabulous Auctioneer, Joey, presented everything from cucumbers to a boat and motor with a great flair and a few songs.

There were some great deals to be had on household items, gift certificates, horse and buggy rides, and so much more.  I don’t think anyone went home empty-handed. There were also fun games for the kids, hot dogs, chips and great desserts to much on during the bidding.

Of course we never could have achieved this level of success without the hard work of our Chair Maria Fedorczuk, committee members Verna Thompson and Jackie Levings, and so many others who set up the sound system, tents, tables and food, registered participants, keep track of bidding, showing the items, and cleaning up after the event.  Thank you to everyone for making this a great fund-raiser and a really fun Saturday in September!

An updated Cinosam Boat Slip Waiting List has been posted under the “Boats and Docks” tab. I’m sorry to say it isn’t getting any smaller.  But I’m happy to see residents enjoying the new sandy beach!

The Cinosam Club Annual Meeting was held on August 5th in the park.  The unapproved minutes and financial report are posted on the website under Club Business.

Cinosam Club members and their families can now enjoy a nice sandy beach when they come down for swimming or sunning.

Thanks to Boots for coordinating the effort and several other volunteers who spent time cleaning up the charred remains of the fire, shoveling the weeds that drifted on shore, preparing the beach area and getting the washed sand delivered and spread.

We now have a great beach for families of Cinosam members instead of families of ducks. Come on down, bring your lawn chairs, towels, pails and shovels and enjoy!

A special thank you to Steve Bredeson for the beautiful new sign we can all enjoy as we turn on to Cinosam Road.

Steve took down the old sign and constructed a completely new one out of cedar, stained it, and installed mulch in the underlying garden.  The new Cinosam sign is made from metal so it will last for many years.  A flag pole connection is on the side for our special events.

Also in the works is an enclosure for Cinosam announcements.  We are lucky to have a talented volunteer in Steve!
