The Kelly Lake Advancement Association Will have a New APP: Venmo Account App.

Ruth Ann Bloom, Secretary of the KLAA, messaged me and later stopped over today to ask me to post their new—what she calls “next generation”—app to pay membership dues and any donations, e.g. AIS Fund.  Here’s how she explained it in her message:

Roger, We discussed having a Venmo account for KLAA at our meeting on Saturday. it is an app that is used quite a bit by the next generation! It is an easy way to transfer money, so we will have one to put money for dues or donations into our KLAA account. It probably will not see much use until spring, but we are ready. Could you post on the home page of our Kelly Lake Facebook account the user name for this app? You would only need to state that KLAA has a Venmo account app with the following user name – Kelly-Lake-10.

“Venmo” seems like a convenient and easier way to pay membership and other KLAA things.  The “next generation” have a good idea!

Watch for it in the near future, where you’ll be able to simply “click”, add message, and have payment made. Roger

Painting the historical “Packer Fence” 2018!

Since 1984, at the home of Fred Harrsch’s, friends and family were invited again this Labor Day to paint the historical Packer Fence across from Lambeau Stadium
with a season’s theme.  This years theme: “LOMBARDI LEGACY: LEADERS MADE HERE”! One of Vince Lombardi’s quotes.Bruce Kiel stencils the wording, and we paint between the lines.Fred suffered a severe injury years ago, confined to a wheelchair, but has become a celebrity! Packers’ Mark Murphy comes over to pay a visit and tribute to Fred and Fred’s fence.Jim and Holly Pecard and their sons (Jim originally from Kelly Lake—his grandpa built the original Kelly Lake Bar now known as the Kracken Shack!) help organize and run the event, complete with cookout and beverages.

We ran into other former Kelly Lakers helping paint the sign: Tom and Sandy who had a camper in the park, and Mike Curtis, Squeaky’s brother!

Another fun time, great food thanks to Jim Pecard Sr, and great Green Bay Packer camaraderie! GO PACK GO!
