Category: President’s Message

Well it’s back to reality for kids and teachers alike. September has arrived and everyone is back in school. I hope all our Tri-V teachers, children, and school employees have a great school year. June will be here soon enough. August was a busy month for Tri-V with two big summer events; final golf and…

Just typing the word “August” in the heading of this message gave me a bit of a chill. Summer is flying by and, as usual, I don’t know what happened to the time. Last month we had our family picnic. It was a fun afternoon of games for the kids and catching up with friends.…

Summer is in full swing. That means vacations, golf, baseball games, and beach time for my family. We just completed a week of vacation split between the cottage and camping in Muskegon. Both were filled with lots of fun and great memories for the kids. Last month we celebrated the 80th anniversary of Tri-V. The…

Summer is upon us. Only a few more days of school for the kids and teachers and a whole lot of time off after that. I apologize for not posting a message last month. We were in the midst of one of those extremely busy times of year with the kids in sports, me coaching…

It’s been a long time since I missed a deadline for the paper. I would blame Dave, but he seems to have things up and running again. I guess my best excuse is old age having just turned 40. March has come and gone, bowling has finally, mercifully, ended and golf season is ready to…

March is truly a month of transition. We begin to see glimpses of Spring in the form of longer, sunny days, rain and wind storms and even some flower buds poking out of the soil. It sometimes seems like this transition is very slow moving. It was warm enough last week to ditch the jacket,…

A lot has happened since my last President’s message. President elect Trump became President Trump and the whole nation rejoiced. He then signed a bunch of papers (probably nothing important) and nominated highly qualified people to run some of the most important departments in our federal government. Things are going swimmingly indeed. On a related…

Happy New Year to everyone. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the holidays and time with their families. It looks as if we will have to wait at least one more year to see the Lions win the Super Bowl. This month we will have the council party at Carl’s Cabin on the 28th. Dueling pianos will provide…

The holiday season is upon us already. I don’t know how it always manages to catch me off guard, but it does. It was great to see such a large turnout at the November Social. It was even better that my team won fowling bragging rights for eternity and $4.85 each. It has also been…

If you have turned on a TV in the past month or so then chances are good you are just about tired of all the political ads. Well I have good news for you, they are all about to go away. This Tuesday is not just another Tri-V meeting day followed by bowling, it is…
