Good afternoon everybody:
It looks to be an amazing weekend! Saturday is sunny and feeling like 33 and Sunday is also sunny and 28 feeling like 36.
Just wanted to touch base on a few items:
Dock Rock 2020
-
You don’t want to miss Dock Rock 2020 on August 2nd from 2pm to 4pm. Big thanks to Neil and Drew Leicester for entertaining us. I am sure everyone is looking forward to this.
-
As per the previous years, it’s important for us to give back. This year you can continue to donate to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation. Last year, we raised $1,000 at Dock Rock and it would be fantastic if we could beat that amount this year. In addition, to support COVID efforts in Muskoka, you can also donate to the Food Bank. All donations can be sent via e-transfer to Jo-Anne Goodwin at muskokakids@sympatico.ca. To respect social distancing, we will not be collecting proceeds at Dock Rock, so please make your donation via e-transfer.
-
Finally, please respect the social distancing rules and stay in your boat or floatation. When you mix music, sun, and water, it’s very tempting to let loose and deviate from the rules.

Good evening everybody,
It’s the long weekend and I am sure everyone is looking forward to it.
It has been a great week from a COVID perspective - Toronto is moving to Stage 3, Ontario reported two days in a row with daily cases under 100, and it looks like the kids will be going back to school in September.
There are a few items that I wanted to share with everyone:
Dock Rock 2020

New Logo - BLA
-
Thank you to all of the designers that participated in our contest. Congratulations to Warren Goodwin and Meg Nietsch. Warren’s family is well known on Bass Lake as his grandfather is Ben Roberts who was the first President of the Bass Lake Association. Meg’s family is newer to the Bass Lake cottage community.
-
Warren’s design is the nautical inspired red, white and blue design for our graphic logo. You will find this at the header of our webpage and it will be the recognized logo for the Bass Lake Association.
-
Meg’s text logo will be used as a signature, which will you find in the footer of the webpage.
-
I am very excited to announce that our website has been updated and improved. It is a clean and contemporary design and it is optimized to be mobile friendly. Special thanks to Enid Wray for all of her efforts. Bass Lake is very fortunate to have her on the executive.
-
I strongly encourage you to check it out and we welcome your comments at basslakeweb@gmail.com. I am very impressed by it and I think we have one of the best cottage association websites in Muskoka!
-
Please note that there are still some sections of the site that are a work in progress … bear with us. We will advise, via these updates, when content is added to any webpage. If you find any content this is unexpectedly truncated, or a link that doesn’t seem to be behaving the way you expected it to, please do let us know.
Cottage Cookie Company
-
Who doesn’t enjoy a good cookie on the dock? If not a cookie, how about a brownie?
-
Young Maddie Freeborough has started her own business this summer.
-
The Cottage Cookie Company brings homemade treats delivered right to your dock.
