Dear Friends,

Rain, rain, don’t go away! Waterfalls are here to stay! And, it brings flowers in May! But, a little warmer weather would be nice.
Don’t forget about the wonderful women in your life! Join us for Mother’s Day on May 8 for a delectable Brunch prepared by Chef Anthony. We have a few openings left. Lunch times are from 11:30-1:30 and reservations are required.

Our American Red Cross Blood Drive was a huge success. We almost doubled our numbers from last fall. Many thanks to our hard working inn team of Nancy, Erica, Katherine and Keegan who helped recruit people to donate. The following staff all donated: Ellie, Nicole, Peggy, Gerard, Debbie, Rita, Joan, Megan, Keegan, Katherine, Nancy, Terry and Ellen. An extra special thanks goes to guest and Red Cross volunteer Cindy Henry for all her help at registration. Thanks so much everyone! Our next Blood Drive is November 5.
Being prepared for emergencies is important. Inn staff complete CPR training every other year as a refresher course. This year the following people participated: Anthony, Gerard, Stephanie, Randy, Ellie, Kellie, Tim, Ellen and Rita.
Lots of fun events coming up in early summer. Start to plan your summer getaway now. Here are a few in June. Don’t miss the only Washboard Music Festival in the world on June 17-18. Calling all dads for our Father’s Day BBQ on June 19. And, learn about Summer CookInn with Chef Anthony on June 29.

Thanks to all our guests who continue to post blogs, Facebook and twitter to their friends about your stay. We truly appreciate you letting others know about us.
Take a walk around Rose Lake, see the Dogwoods in bloom and join us for lunch on the patio. See you soon.
