There will be a “Wounded Warrior” catch and release
bass tournament held here in honor of Iraq veteran James Gosnell. 50% of the
receipts will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. The rules will be
the same as for our other bass tournaments and no guest boats will be allowed
on the lake per our rules.
Neighbors helping neighbors will be held again this
year. This is the project to provide Christmas gifts and dinners to needy
Candlewick families. We will be starting with ten families again and building
from there according to response.
Barb Appelhans will be designated as our official
Candlewick photographer. You have undoubtedly noticed her at pretty much every
event here taking snapshots. This is a time consuming duty that deserves a
position.
The subject of aggressive dogs was discussed and
sent to public safety with the request to adopt some stern policies concerning
this issue. Fines and banning the animals was discussed. Our residents deserve
to feel safe walking our streets with or without their pets.
We are planning a “meet the candidates” night for
those running for office from district 1. This has nothing to do with the
Candlewick board election, simply an attempt to allow our residents as well as
those residing outside Candlewick to see, hear, and question the candidates on
issues of concern. The plan is for an October date to be set.
October 20, a Saturday, from ten until noon will be
the next Town Hall for resident input regarding the Candlewick experience. Time
for the good, bad, and ugly to be expressed. All residents are welcome.
For the complete official minutes please watch for
the Candlewick Newspaper. What you read here is simply a quick synopsis.
