Come celebrate your love for Cottonwood Lake

The Cottonwood Lake Preservation Society invites you to a celebration and an announcement on February 15, 2020 at Cottonwood Lake from 12:00 – 5:00.

“We want to thank the RDCK, CBT, all the community-based organizations that stepped up and most importantly, the hundreds of community volunteers and donors who came forward to make Phase One happen. To do that, we’re holding a thank you event at Cottonwood Lake on February 15 to celebrate our community and our collective strength – together we can do anything.”

The details of the event are as follows:

Date/Time: February 15, 12:00 – 5:00

Location: Cottonwood Lake

Program: Remarks at 1:00

Features: Live music, opportunities to purchase food & beverages, skating will be available

“We’ve been very lucky. Lots of sponsors and great music artists including Brian Kabelfleisch and friends have stepped up to support this event, which means anything we raise through the sale of hot dogs, beer, or hot chocolate will go towards the project and be included in our fundraising total.” Says McBurney.

“This is a thank you event, and we mean thank you very sincerely. We’ve partnered with RDCK, and we’ll make sure that you have all the tools you need to learn about Phase Two and how you can help save Cottonwood. We’re going to have a photo booth, for any supporters who have given or are considering making a gift, please come and show your love for Cottonwood.

“We need to make sure we’re prepared – so we’re asking people to sign up on Facebook and so we have a good sense of how many people to expect. And of course, rain, shine, blizzard or early spring thaw, we’ll be there. We’ll just be dressed according to the weather.” McBurney added.
