How a lake path comes to life: A 10-year journey

almost 10 years ago – the dream is voiced

• Then-President Adam appoints Harry as the “Enhancement Lead” of Beaver Lake.
• Adam shares a personal and widely held dream: a walking path around the lake.
• Harry investigates...he and his friend, Paul, trek through muck, mud, shrubs and over rocks…
• …returns and declares it impossible. The idea is shelved.

fast forward to last year – A Shabbos surprise

• During a Shabbos kiddush, a group of guys casually chat about that same old dream.
• Harry wanders over, amused they’re still talking about the lake path.
• Sensing opportunity, Brian Sigman challenges Harry - now president, to finally make it happen.
• Brian sweetens the challenge: he and Baily will donate substantial seed money if it happens.
• Harry, who never turns down a donation, accepts on the spot - and does what wise leaders do best:
• He delegates.
• Rivky steps up to take the lead, committed to fulfilling her husband, Adam’s, long-held dream.
• She forms the Lake Trail Committee, joined by Roz Plaut

a new reality – the tools to succeed

• Unlike 10 years ago, Beaver Lake now owns serious equipment: An excavator, a front end loader, a heavy truck
• And even better: Billy, an expert equipment operator, joins the mission.

Project Lake Path – a team effort

• Harry, recognizing this new reality, re-engages - not as a skeptic, but as Project Manager.
• He plots the route, coordinates resources, works side by side with Billy and the trail committee team.
• In just 11 months since that fateful kiddush, the impossible becomes reality - almost two miles worth.



IT IS TIME FOR A

QUATABLE

QUOTE

Joel, our treasurer after a recent trail walk through...

"When I first heard about the project I anticipated progress at about 100ft per season...seriously? Almost 2 miles? Amazing!"

WAIT!!! Continued Joel...

Did you say wholly funded by donations???

THATS RIGHT!!!
