Thatcher Drive is in good condition. The fire department gave a well received presentation. They emphasized fire prevention and the legal requirement to have smoke alarms near all sleeping areas (including outbuilding bunkies) and a CO alarm in any place where open fires may be present, including wood stoves. For more alarm information, see the brochure they had available. The meeting concluded with the results of the 2025 photo contest. Here is the slide presentation from the meeting.

Bears Bears Bears!

The bears are attracted to garbage, BBQ’s, petroleum products, antifreeze and can even smell frozen food inside a freezer. The don’t like the smell of bleach and other cleaning products.
