* LAKE CUSHMAN Fire
District 18 had a successful
Easter egg hunt on the Saturday
before Easter at Lake Kokanee,
and the sun came out for the egg
hunt. Sparky the Fire Dog was a
great hit with the little ones.
Fire district personnel ex-
pressed gratitude to those who
donated and bought baked goods
and to all who helped to make the
event a success again this year,
particularly Steve Nottingham,
who put the event together.
Fire District 18 awards were
made recently for the first quar-
ter of the year to firemen Bill
Porn and Art Emmons.
On May 29, the fire district
will hold a rummage sale at Lake
Cushman Station 1 Fire Hall. In-
formation about the sale is avail-
able from Karen Marshall at 877-
6876.
• ABOUT 20 years ago, one of
the first social groups formed at
Lake Cushman was a small group
of quilters. The Ladies of the
Lake made a quilt for the Lake
Cushman Booster Club to raffle
each year. Since then the group
has expanded and at this time
has around 40 quilters on its
membership list - an estimate be-
cause there are no dues; members
are those who quilt together.
By this time, the quilters have
outgrown private homes and
smaller halls, and they now meet
in the Hoodsport Community Hall
on Finch Creek from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. each Thursday.
On the second Thursday of
each month, the ladies sew quilts
for the Mason County Center for
Domestic Violence and make re-
ceiving blankets and small quilts
for Mason General Hospital. As of
this date they have made 46
quilts for the center and 90 as-
sorted items for the local hospital.
The group has organized a
quilt show every three or four
years, an event held at Hood Ca-
nal School in the summertime.
Proceeds from these shows have
been used for support of various
charities.
QUILTING CLASSES take
place when enough members
want to learn a new technique.
One of the things the group does
for fun is to create friendship
quilts for one another.

duced the club's newly-elected of-
ricers Jamie Barnes, president;
Jenny Miser, vice president and
Sherry Bodin, secretary. Treasur-
er Elizabeth Egbert and historian
Katie Keith were unable to at-
tend.
George Fisher, president of
lh)od Canal Kiwanis Club, a
sponsor of the newly-formed
group, congratulated its mem-
bers, introduced Kiwanians who
were in attendance and gave a
special welcome to Kiwanis lieu-
tenant governor Sam Edgin of Ki-
wanis District 38.
THE LIEUTENANT gover-
nor then presented the charter to
club president Jamie Barnes.
Edgin and your Journal corre-
spondent then pinned club mem-
bers with their Builders Club
[)ins.

clude Jamie Barnes, Kyle Motz,

ber Churchill, Jeff Baker, Lloyd

Karen Farber and Bert Miller
are the Hood Canal School repre-
sentatives.
HOOD CANAL Kiwanis Club
officers include president George
Fisher, vice president Sue Cal-
kins, secretary Doris Bloechel and
treasurer Jan VonStein.
Bob Sund, Hood Canal Kiwanis
representative for the Shelton
High School Key Club, spoke of
the Shelton club's delight about
the newly-formed group. Eighth-
graders who graduate this year
will be welcomed by Key Club
members next ,fall. The high
school club looks forward to work-
ing with the group from Hood Ca-
nal School, Sund said.
A social hour followed, with re-
freshments furnished by Hood
Canal Kiwanis Club members.
The Builders Club has a
planned community service proj-
ect, the cleanup and restoration of
the early-day Union Cemetery.
LADIES OF THE LAKE Barbara Norton, left, and Ger-
trude Kime enjoy some final moments with the quilt-
ing club they've enjoyed for years•
The Ladies of the Lake wel-
come visitors and invite them to
come admire quilts in progress.
Once a year, the quilters meet
at a quilters' fall retreat at Pil-
grim Firs Conference Center on
Lake Flora near Belfair. This
year the retreat will take place
October 4-7.
LAST WEEK, the group held
a special luncheon as a goodbye to
three long-time members, Bar-
bara Norton, Gertrude Kime and
Marge Schroeder.
Gertrude Kime of Hoodsport
has kept the group amused with
her stories of elk hunting and ear-
ly days in Cowlitz County. She
and her husband, Chuck, are
moving to Ryderwood to be closer
to their family.
Gertrude commented, "The
closer I get to moving, the worse 1
feel. I hate to leave this quilting
group, and most of all I will miss
their good cooking."
Barbara Norton, a member of
the Upper Lake Cushman com-
munity, has been the group's in-
spiration.
THE LADIES OF the Lake
will miss her color choices and
new techniques, her willing help
and most of all her grandchildren
pictures. It was Barbara's prod-
ding that resulted in the group
being chartered as a nonprofit or-
ganization. Barbara and her hus-
band Gall are moving to the Ever-
ett area.
Barbara said, "We have lived
at the lake community for almost
15 years and have made so many
good friends. We have felt a part
of the community. This move gets
us closer to our children - next
door to one and a few miles from
the others. We do not have to
travel so far, but we will miss all
our friends."
Marge Schroeder of Division 5
at Lake Cushman had a surprise
when 37 ladies turned up recent-
ly, each with a block for a sur-
prise friendship quilt, as a going-
away gift. She and her husband,
Lou, were in the process of mov-
ing closer to family members in
Marysville, so Marge was not
present at the luncheon.
Many wonderful friendships
have been forged in this group
that carries on an early-day tradi-
tion of pioneer women, the quilt-
ing bee.
