CCR Ladies Auxiliary

The Ladies Auxiliary would like to wish all Ranch Members a Happy Easter. All female members of Canada Creek Ranch are members of the Ladies Auxiliary and encouraged to attend the meetings and make new friends. I hope you are able to attend our first meeting of the year on April 2, at 10:30 in the Ranch House. Members of the Ladies Auxiliary run the gift shop and the library. We are also planning the annual Spring Fling dinner, welcoming members back to the ranch. This will take place on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. The theme for the dinner is Italian. Tickets are $ 30 per person. We are also planning a field trip to Alpena on Wednesday, June 11 to go rock hunting. This is a follow up to the September, Women in the Wild presentation by Becky Goldberg. We also have an ongoing food drive to benefit The Caring Place in Atlanta. There is a bin in the vestibule of the Ranch House where the food can be placed. We are continuing our service project of collecting clean T shirts to make Produce Bags for the Atlanta Farmers Market. If you have any T shirts to donate to this ongoing project, please place them in the box in the vestibule of the Ranch House.
