Annual Bake Sale

This years Annual Bake Sale will be held this month on Saturday, May 26th in Powell Park from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Community Center Update

In our report at the Annual Meeting in August, we were just short of our goal to break ground by $7,600. Since then, between our fundraising efforts and your generous donations, we have surpassed that goal. The building fund accounts now total $109,500.

We are hoping to begin soon with the building site preparation. There is a lot of excavating and fill dirt to be moved before the foundation can be done. We have been working with our resident architect to tweak the floor plans so that we will have an accurate materials list to request bids from the surrounding area. We have also met with the Poweshiek County Sanitarian and contractors to discuss and design a septic system that will be needed for the expected use of the Community Center.

Pop Can Fund

All money from the collection of Iowa refundable cans and bottles goes for funding the fireworks display as well as the donations taken at the gates. Please empty cans and bottles and keep in separate containers using Iowa refundable cans and bottles only. No tea or water bottles are allowed. If you wish to make a donation to the fireworks fund, please make checks payable to Holiday Lake Owners Association. About 40% of the donations for the display came from the collection of cans and bottles. Gate collections and other donations through out the year make up the difference for the great display. We would like to thank all of you who have contributed.

Recycle Bin

Please note: NO plastic bags, packing peanuts, or trash/garbage (example: used paper towels) in the bin. Also, glass needs to be clear, with no colored glass. If these items continue to be thrown in the recycle bin, we will have to consider discontinuing its use. Bins are available for: metal, paper, magazines, broken down cardboard, and number one and two plastic bins.

Please rinse or wash out cans, plastic, and glass. By taking time to recycle, you are helping future generations. Recycle Bin: Located at the office inside the fenced in area and available during normal business hours.
