    The Tri V picnic is scheduled for July 18th at Rotary Park pavilion #3. We will start about 1:00 with lunch beginning around 1:30. We will go back to our normal format with everyone bringing a dish to share. We will supply water only so bring your own beverages ( I will have an alcohol permit) cups, plates and utensils. The games may be pared back as we have fewer young kids. Volley ball courts are in the area and they were used by the older kids last year. If possible I would ask that people that know they are going to attend and have kids coming drop me an email or text with the number of kids and ages for game planning. Please save the date and plan on attending. The committee is currently Jay and Brian Trachsel.

    Tri V Final Golf 

    Tri V Final Golf will be held on the weekend of August 20th – August 22nd in Mt. Pleasant, MI. The cost will be $375.00 per person. Included in the price is your lodging, golf, and prize money. We will be staying at Fairfield Inn at 2525 University Park Dr., Mount Pleasant, MI. 48858. There will be 2 people to a room so if you have a roommate request let me know. There is a free complimentary hot breakfast in the hotel not exactly sure on the hours. On Friday we will be playing Pohlcat Golf Course located at 6595 East Airport Rd., Mount Pleasant, MI. 48858. The tee time for Friday is 8:30AM which I know is early for the first day but is supposed to be a great course. The tee time for Saturday is 12:00pm at Bucks Run Golf Club located at 1559 S. Chippewa Rd, Mt Pleasant, MI 48858. The tee time for Sunday is 9:50AM at Eagle Glen Golf Course Located at 1251 Clubhouse Dr, Farwell, MI 48622 Which is about 30 minutes from the Hotel. There are no scheduled meals so you will be on your own for dinners. There is a casino 6 miles from the hotel. We will continue the Ryder Cup format this year and we will be picking captains and teams at a later date. I will like the total amount of $375.00 by July 10th as I already have the deposit for 28 down. If you can’t make all the days please let me know as soon as possible as I am not sure on how much wiggle room I have with this. I know Steve is working on a possible Thursday golf but it would be separate from this price. Please let Matt VanHollebeke, Mike Trachsel, or Steve Trachsel know as soon as possible if you intend on attending.

    Thanks,

    Final Golf Committee

    Presidents Message

    I was saddened to hear that friend and longtime member John Lardin passed away in Florida on Friday April 9th. John had experienced failing health since a hernia operation in early February. John and Judy’s sons Mike and Brian were able to see John in the hospital while Larry and Johnny face timed before Easter. John was moved to Hope Hospice House near their home just after Easter.
    John will be cremated in Florida and there will be a remembrance service in Michigan at a later date.
    Our thoughts and prayers go out to Judy and the entire Lardin family. John’s sprite, laughter, and thoughtfulness will be missed by all of his Tri V friends. John had become Tri V’s soul leading prayers at meetings and events. We will miss you John.

    President Jay Trachsel

    Tri V Golf 2021 The Tri V golf… 

    Tri V Golf 2021

    The Tri V golf season will begin April 19th at Hickory Hill. Our tee times are still 4:30pm.
    The season will be 2 eight week halves (unless shortened due to rain) with each half winner and the next 2 highest yearly point players playing for the seasonal championship on week 17.
    I will be collecting $30 per half (I prefer cash to make final payout easier) for people planning on getting into the seasonal prize money. We will again be collecting side bet money before golf starts. The side bets will be payed out that night after golf. You need pay the day of golf to be eligible for the side bets for that day. You can get into closest to the pin on greenies but if you miss playing on the day of golf you will need to pay for the missed week if there is a carryover from the missed week. Dave will keep a running point tally for each half and total points for the yearly play in. The season will end August 16th.

    Committee: Jay Trachsel, Dave Burke

    Update on Brother John: I finally secured access to the site, Thanks Dave. As I hope from my attempt to e-mail everybody, John Kardin has had sever health difficulties while in Florida this winter. Summarizing is case you are not aware: he had a hernia operation early and seem to recover okay, Any procedure with John’s condition is a concern. About three weeks ago , he complain of stomach pain, Judy took him to urgent care and the ER. Long story short, after additional testing and debate, his gale bladder was remove with 30-40 gale stone. The doctors also drained large qty. ( 5 liters) of fluid. Again shortening the story, he was released and sent back to the condo where he developed difficulties walking and sitting and fell a couple of time before he was taken back to the hospital. John’s condition has gone down hill since then. Mike and Brain flew to Florida and this morning I received a email reply that John is not doin well at all and that the family is investigating hospice. There is no plan to return to Michigan in the near future. PLEASE keep John and the family in your prayers. AS more information is learned, I will post.
