On June 9, 2018 the club held its Kids Learn to Fish Day. Nine kids and their parents showed up for the event. The kids were taught how to tie knots, put on split-shot sinkers and bobbers. All of the kids received free fishing rods and learned how to cast them. The club also showed the kids the anatomy of a live large bluegill. The club demonstrated how to clean fish by 2 different methods, with an electric knife and a filet knife. The kids seemed quite impressed when you could clean and skin a fish in less than a minute. The meeting was followed by a hotdog lunch. It was a very successful event.
Kids’ Fishing Day is June 23rd
On Saturday, June 23rd, the Club will host the Annual Kenny Lippert Kids Fishing Day at Beach 1 from 10am to Noon. The Kids Fishing Day is a fun tournament just for kids ages 0 to 14. There will a hotdog lunch provided and over 40 prizes will be given out!

Jason Scribben Memorial Volleyball Tournament:
Jason P. Scribben was a senior at Grand Valley High School and died in a boating accident on Lake Roaming Rock on July 4th, 1998. We moved here when he was 2 years old. (At age 12 he met Shawn and Jeff Morris, they taught him how to play volleyball. He spent most of his summer days on the court.) The volleyball court at beach #1 was dedicated to him.
We will continue with the tournament in Jason’s honor, and the community really enjoys this event. This year the annual Jason P. Scribben Memorial 3 on 3 Volleyball Tournament will be on June 30th 2018 at the Roaming Shores Beach #1 Volleyball Court. The tournament will start at 1pm and registration will begin at 12:00pm. If you would like to register early or you have any questions, please call (440) 812-5554. Trophies will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams and there will be no registration fee, but donations are accepted. So please come and join us as we celebrate Jason P. Scribben’s memories and support safe boating on our Lake.
Sincerely, Rosemary Scribben, Amy Scribben-Snyder and Josh Scribben
Fireworks:
The Annual Fireworks Display will be Saturday evening at 10pm, weather permitting. The rain date will be July 1st. The annual display is made possible by the generous donations of our Membership and the tireless efforts of the STARS Club. The show is best viewed by boat or from the Beach 1 area.
Boaters: Please anchor your boats around the buoys (rather than down the lake) for safety and the best view of lower & sky driven displays. Try to be in place by 9:30pm/9:45pm.
**On Fireworks Night, the entire lake will be NO WAKE beginning at 8pm until dawn the following morning.**
STARS Winery Bus Tour Recap
The STARS Club hosted its 1st Winery Bus Tour earlier this month. The club set out hoping to fill 22 seats on the Jolley Trolley, but ended up needing (and filling) a second bus to capacity! Since we had such a great response, future tours will be planned. Keep an eye out for an announcement.
The group’s first stop was Grand River Cellars for some food and tastings. The buses then made rounds between M Cellars, Saint Josephs Vineyard, and Red Eagle Distillery. All wonderful and unique in their own way.
Thank you to Barb Buckley and Jack McMillin for organizing the event!!
Hopefully we’ll have nicer weather next time… even though a winter tour would be nice, too 😉
