Editor,

Members of the Flathead Lakers want to thank Janice and Jim Bassett, owners of the East Shore Smokehouse, for their gracious and generous support of the Lakers’ highway clean-up efforts. A small group of Flathead Lakers met Friday morning, July 29, to clean up our adopted section of Highway 35 between mile markers 6 and 8.

Following cleanup, Janice and Jim treated us to a complimentary lunch – yes, treated all 10 of us to a tasty, wholesome lunch from the Smokehouse menu.
Thanks again, Janice and Jim! Your support is greatly appreciated.

Greg McCormick
Vice President,
Flathead Lakers
