In
addition to the existing community web page www.forestjunction.org, the Forest Junction Civic League is looking to build a community email distribution list for the sole purpose of providing
short term announcements relating to the Civic League and Forest Junction that may not be on the community website.
Please send an email message to the Forest Junction Civic League fjcl@tds.net indicating your desire to receive occasional emails relating to Forest Junction. Thank you.
The focus this
year is to finish the last nine hole of the disc golf course (pick up brush, etc.). Yes, we are looking
for volunteers to help in the park this summer. Any help from you will be appreciated.
Our main, annual event
is the Corn Roast and Family Picnic which is held on the fourth Sunday of August at Freitag Memorial Park. You
will find food, live music, games and lots of fun for the entire family. To top off the corn roast, you
can participate in a raffle where only 100 tickets are sold and the winner receives $1,000.00. If you are
interested in helping with the corn roast and picnic, or if you want a raffle ticket, contact Tom VanDeLoo or one of the other
officers.
This
year in combination with our corn roast, we will be having a disc golf exhibition tournament – watch for more details
in August. The goal is to host sanctioned disc golf tournaments in the future.
Each spring the Civic League asks for help
to clean up the Freitag Memorial Park and the streets throughout the community. This year it is on April
26th. If you can’t come to the park that day, please pick up the trash along the road that runs in
front of your home.
If
you wish to rent the Freitag Memorial Park for an event, call 989-1301 for availability. The reservation
fee of $25.00 per day gives you access to the kitchen and bathrooms.
If you wish to become a member of the Forest Junction Civic
League, please call 989-1686 for more information. The Civic League has meetings about four times a year
at the Outer Limits Youth Outreach center.
