If you missed the Promotion Club’s Wine Tasting and Fondue Social on June 5 you missed a really great event! About 20 residents met to share stories and taste wines from three local wineries with one of the most beautiful views of our lake in the background. The clear sunny weather added to the already very friendly atmosphere of the Clubhouse social. Sally Flash, our Promotion Club president and host for the event, chose two different wines each from three local wineries, Emerine Estates, Virant Family Winery, and Harpersfield Winery. Sally said, “I wanted to try a few of the wineries off the beaten path whose wines may be overlooked.” Those of us who sampled all of them found it somewhat difficult to concentrate on voting for our favorite. The wines say Sally “run from sweet to dry so everyone is bound to find a favorite”. I think we all did!
The fondues were excellent! You remember those, don’t you? Those cute little heated pots with steamy sauces into which you poked goodies with a long thin spear. Carolyn and Bud Tharp brought a delicious Swiss cheese & white wine sauce, while Sally served an Italian cheese blend & apple juice sauce. Barb Buckley provided the choice bread squares of pumpernickel, sourdough, French & ciabatta breads and vegetables to dip. And don’t forget the decadent hot, dark chocolate fondue complete with Club Secretary Linda Loftus’ dunkables including bananas, pretzels, strawberries, and marshmallows. Although the food and wine were really great, the best thing by far was the company who enjoyed the evening.
Promotion Club socials are friendly, get-togethers with no other purpose than to meet other residents and to laugh and share good times. The Promotion Club’s next social event will be on July 24th at the Clubhouse. Mark the date so you don’t miss it. See you there!
P.S. I hope this wine-tasting thing catches on!
This week, RRA Maintenance Director Dan Mullins made an even trade of our Aqua Cat Weed Harvester to another lake community for an Aquarius 420 Harvester. This new harvester is the same model of Aquarius Harvester that was replaced in 2013, only newer. This model of harvester will handle our lake as it did in the past. The off-loading conveyer from the old Aquarius Harvester is still in the possession of the maintenance department and will work with the newer machine.
The crew is going over the unit before it’s launched and you will see it on the water as soon as the weeds begin to grow!
The lake community who received our old harvester in the trade will be using it for debris removal on their lake.
ALL BOATERS TRY TO BE IN PLACE AT THE BUOYS BETWEEN 9:30-9:45
MANY FAMILIES, ALONG WITH THE RRA BOARD, HAVE DONATED VERY GENEROUSLY TO THE FIREWORKS FUND. THEREFORE, IN 2016, THE PROMOTION CLUB WILL USE A PORTION OF THESE DONATIONS TO COVER THE COST OF THE “2016 FIREWORKS” SINCE THIS IS THE 50TH YEAR FOR ROAMING SHORES AND A BIG CELEBRATION!
***PLEASE NOTE: The Promotion Club will not send out fundraiser flyers in Fall for the 2016 Fireworks. Due to the generosity of approximately 210 RRA Members who have supported this event each year, a portion of the balance designated “Fireworks” will be used to fund the 50th ANNIVERSARY FIREWORKS SHOW.
If you wish, you can still make donations when paying your dues, as several members are presently doing. Please make checks to: Roaming Shores Promotion Club.
Wishing all a wonderful and safe July 4th weekend and our thanks to many who help support the Promotion Club activities, thus, making the special weekend festivities possible.
Thank you.

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, and the community started a fund in honor of him. Jason’s family took the community fund and started the Jason P. Scribben Memorial Scholarship fund, awarded yearly to a Grand Valley graduate. It has been 17 years now, we can no longer support a scholarship. We willcontinue 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 July 4th 2015 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

Have you been paying attention to the lake over the years? Do you look out your window, or from your deck, your dock, or your watercraft and see things that concern you? Are you worried when you see mud-brown water, weeds, or algae? Do you worry even more about the possibility of toxins resulting from algae growth? If you do worry about these things—about the quality of our lake water, what have you been doing about it: Keeping your worries to yourself? Complaining about it to your friends and neighbors? Standing up at Board meetings and voicing your concerns? Deciding to move elsewhere? Sure, you can do all of these things; but are any of them really helping to solve the problem? Are any of them really actions that may improve the quality of our lake water? Most likely they are not. There are actions you could take, however, which will help with the problems of water quality. Here are some suggestions.
Take another look at our lake. Decide right now to start following the above suggestions. Be one of those people in the community who becomes part of the solution to the problems of water quality. Remember to Be Lake Responsible and Love the Lake.
The lake waters have finally receded enough to turn off the High Water, No Lake lights.
As always, use caution. The waters may have receded, but there may still be debris hidden below the muddy waters.
Due to the large amount of rain we have received in Roaming Shores over the weekend, the entire lake is now NO WAKE until further notice! If you see the lights flashing by the Clubhouse and the Beach 2 area, those are the indicators that the lake is NO WAKE.
Creating a wake while the lake water is high risks damage to docks and boats. Be cautious!
High lake waters bring more than just water. If you are out on the lake today, remember to be extra cautious of debris that may be in the water and hidden due to the muddy conditions.
Check on your docked boats. If the lake water is high and there is not enough slack in your line, the line can snap and your boat can float away. But make sure not to have too much slack to where your boat can end up on top of your dock. If you have canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, etc. on your dock, you may want to consider moving them further away from the shore.
If you are not a full time resident, consider calling your neighbors to check on your boats.
Note: The waters are beginning to recede.
