WRA 2022 Annual Meeting and Fishing Derby

By in Events, News

Please watch your mailbox and/or email for the official notice and ballot for the September 17th 2022 WRA Annual Meeting. Three trustee and three ARC positions are open for new candidates.

The meeting will take place at Cascade Park beginning at 10:00am to announce the ballot results and open discussion.
We will be holding a fishing derby prior to the Annual Meeting at Brewster Lake! The fishing derby will begin at 6:30am and will end at 9:30am, with the winners being announced at the Annual Meeting.

Over 300 trout ranging in size from 5 inches to 13 inches were released into Brewster Lake in June. Many children were able to attend the fish release, and the trout seem to be adapting well to our private lake.

All fishing derby participants must register prior to fishing. Registration will begin at 6:00am on September 17th, and the derby will officially begin at 6:30am. (No Fishing Before)

The official rules will be posted separately, and prizes will be awarded for the top 3 longest fish. All registered participants will also be entered into a raffle prize drawing.

Please reach out if you are interested or able in donating some prizes to this exciting event. This makes it more exciting for our kiddos participating! (It could be anything from gift cards, fishing supplies, toys/games, money, etc.) Also we are in need of a fish scale (for a tie-breaker) if anyone has one to loan for the day. Donating businesses will be listed on a vinyl banner in recognition, and will be displayed at the park on the day of the derby. Contact Melanie Foister (melfoister@comcast.net) if you are able to donate!

Thank you and see you all on September 17th!

Do you love the Wilderness Rim park?

By in Events, News, Park

Hi Neighbors!
Do you love Wilderness Rim’s Cascade Park and Brewster Lake?  Then come join your neighbors to show our recreation areas some TLC on Saturday, August 27th starting at 9am.  Here’s the plan in brief:
  • Show up at 9am
  • Have fun
  • Clean up dead branches and re-purpose them for Mother Earth via a Chipper
  • Meet neighbors
  • Paint the park picnic tables at the shelter
  • Eat some food and talk to your neighbors

If you are able to make it, please let us know so that we can plan accordingly and keep you well fed and happy during the day. Please email park@wildernessrim.org to confirm you will be blessing us with your presence. If you are planning on joining us, it might be a good idea to bring some work gloves.

Also, if you can’t make that date but are still interested in helping out, you can! From now until park cleanup day, you can help by gathering dead branches on your own time and bringing them over to the waste bins by the WRA office. This will help us get a good head start on the clean up.
If you have any questions about the event, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly (trustee3@wildernessrim.org) or the WRA Parks Committee (park@wildernessrim.org).
Looking forward to meeting you!
Jason Lange, Trustee 3
Wilderness Rim Board of Trustees

Budget and Finance Committee Meeting Cancelled

By in Events

The Treasurer is not available to Chair this Committee Meeting due to another event that takes precedence at this time.

As volunteers, the trustees and committee leaders, will find it difficult to prioritize WRA activities over more fulfilling interests or commitments when their time and expertise is not valued here.

There is no requirement in our Bylaws or the RCW that a committee meeting be held at this time.

Should you have any constructive observations, questions or concerns, please email them to Susie, at office@wildernessrim.org.  The office will, as always, respond to these items or forward them to the appropriate committee leadership or the trustees.  Please remember our posted office hours are when such messages are processed.

Thank you.

Wil Chromey, Co-Chair of the Water Utilities Committee, being very satisfied at the performance of Satellite Management Services and Roger Lillejord, and having no pressing business to address is cancelling this meeting and will convene again in August.

The meters will be read this coming weekend by Ben Larson.  Please keep an eye out for him on his bicycle as he travels our community’s streets.

Anyone with questions or concerns for the Water Utilities Committee are encouraged to email water@wildernessrim.org.
