CHURCH NEWS

If readers will pardon a pun from and old

baseball fan, the "buoys of summer" (the

markers for Marois Sailing races) are the

first sign I see from our home that the

season of joyous activity at Lac Marois

Union Church and Lac Marois Country Club

is about to begin. Now with Clean- up

accomplished, Blast-off enjoyed, Staff

deployed and Lessons begun, the opening

service at Lac Marois Union Church will take place on Sunday, June 28th, at 10:30 a.m.

The guest celebrant and preacher this coming Sunday will be Father Michael Murray, President

of Loyola High School Montreal. It is "Welcome Sunday", so come prepared to enjoy an after-

worship luncheon in the club.

As you can see from the roster in this edition of the Informer, this summer offers a varied and

interesting diet of guests at LMUC - some "old familiars" plus other new and exciting discoveries

of the Pulpit Supply Committee.

Our Music Director, Georgia Copland, welcomes any and all who enjoy singing to come early

(9h15) for choir practise.

I look forward to greeting all members of the Marois Community (friends and guests too!) on

Sundays at our lovely and beloved Church beside the Lake.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

LMCC’s 2015 chapter has officially started with a great “Blast Off” thanks to Andrée Cousineau

and her incredible team of helpers who put on a spectacular dinner to kick start us off in style!

Stephanie Brennan also had a busy spring organizing the work day and clean-up. Everything

looks great and ready for the fun to begin! Michelle Zegray organized painters to give a facelift

to the steps and balcony – looks amazing! Thanks to all who participated!

Jason Puklicz is back as our Director and has a great staff! Jason has worked hard on building

a revised lesson schedule and I know our kids will have great instruction because of it! I’ll

thank-you in advance if we can all help out when and where possible.

I look forward to seeing everyone throughout the summer! If you have any club-related

questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

Le chapitre 2015 de la LMCC a officiellement commencé avec un grand «décollage» grâce à

Andrée Cousineau et son incroyable équipe d'assistants qui ont tenu un dîner spectaculaire

pour nous donner un coup de pouce pour débuter avec style!

Stephanie Brennan a également eu un printemps occupé à organiser la journée de travail et

nettoyer. Tout semble prêt pour que la fête commence! Michelle Zegray s’est organisé avec des

peintres pour rafraichir les escaliers et balcon – c’est incroyable! Merci à tous ceux qui ont

participé!

Jason Puklicz est de retour en tant que notre directeur et a un excellent personnel! Jason a

travaillé fort sur la mise en place d'un programme de cours révisé et je sais que nos enfants

auront une grande qualité de cours à cause de cela ! Je vous remercie à l'avance de nous aider

là où c’est possible.

J’ai hâte de vous voir tout au long de l'été! Si vous avez des questions ou des préoccupations

liées au Club, n’hésitez pas à me contacter à [email protected].

DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Another summer is upon us and we are ready to go. Blast Off was a huge success many thanks

to Andrée Cousineau and everyone who helped out. A big thanks also goes out to Stephanie

Brennan and the members who came out over the last two week-ends to get the docks out, put

the boats in the water and get LMCC & LMUC ready. Lastly, thanks to Michele Zegray and her

crew who painted the balcony. It looks great.

As I write this, I am reflecting on the first day of staff training. What amazes me most is that the

most senior staff has the same excitement in their eyes as our first years. If today's enthusiasm

is an indicator of what’s to come, we are in for an incredible summer. We are welcoming back

some new faces to staff as well welcoming brand new staff to the LMCC family: check out

“Introducing the Lac Marois Country Club 2015 Staff” spread!

If there are any issues with lessons, scheduling or your child's placement please see me or

Adrienne and we will get any issue resolved. I am sure that most people are aware that Rogers

has erected a cell tower behind city hall and now the club has very good cell phone reception. I

would like to remind everyone that at LMCC we do not have lifeguards on duty and we must

remain vigilant when our kids are playing in the water. Remember it only takes a moment.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing another great summer together.

See you on the beach,

� Jason
