SUMMARY:Paddle under the Sturgeon Moon

SUMMARY:SuperDuperMoon Paddle
DESCRIPTION:Join us July 3rd for a magical night on the water under the big\, bright\, full moon ~ a tradition we our proud to continue to hold in honor of the Full Moon Paddle queen herself; our precious Mama Beryl; as she shines down on us from the stars ~  \nJuly 3rd brings the first SuperMoon of 2023  \nThis SuperMoon is called the Buck SuperMoon named after our “four legged friends” as the antlers of male deer (bucks) are in full-growth mode at this time of the year.  \n  \nWhat to know:\nThe sun sets on July 3rd at 9:34pm and the moon will start to rise at 9:00pm. \nThis gives us the perfect opportunity to enjoy an hour long paddle to North Bar under the light of dusk before we watch the moon rise over trees; serenaded by the sounds of the lively ecosystem of North Bar Lake. We will be ending our paddle with a toast to the moon and goodies on the dune at North Bar ~ where the tradition began. \nDate: Monday\, July 3rd \nLocation: We plan to paddle from the Manning Lighthouse at the north end of the Empire Public Beach 2.5 miles to North Bar Lake. This is the OG full moon paddle route – the section of the lakeshore that brought the full moon paddle tradition to life many many moons ago – a majorly special stretch of coastline. \nTime: Be ready to launch from the Lighthouse at the Empire Public Beach by 8:20pm! \nThere will be a quick orientation and safety briefing at 8:20pm before we enter the water. \n\n\n\nWe will launch no later than 8:30pm so we may enjoy the full colors of sunset from the arms of Lake Michigan and shoot to arrive to North Bar Lake as the moon makes it’s way over the trees and reflects off of the still water of Lake Michigan at the entrance to North Bar Lake.\n\n\n\nBeing that we do like to take our time\, we anticipate that this will be an hour & a half long paddle. \nImportant Details (please read): This can be a round trip or a point A to B paddle – the choice is yours! \n\n\n\nIf you intend to end your paddle at North Bar Lake you will need to drop a vehicle prior to start time. Then we will need to buddy up and carpool\, which is such an awesome way to meet new friends! There will be one shop vehicle that can seat ~ 8 people able to cart folks back to Empire\, however we anticipate many more than 8 attendants\, therefore if you are able to buddy up and drop a vehicle with a friend that would be so grand! If you have room in your vehicle to seat other paddlers\, then you get big humongous bonus points! Let’s work together to make sure all are able to participate & to head home post-paddle with ease.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you are to carpool from North Bar Lake you must first drop your water craft at the Empire Public Beach by the lighthouse (don’t worry – we have grand trust in our community\, your gear will be safe 🙂 )\nWe recommend that you plan to drop your watercraft at the Empire Public Beach around 7:30pm\, and then make the ~10 minute drive to North Bar Lake to drop your vehicle. The last ride from Sleeping Bear Surf will be leaving the North Bar Lake parking lot at 8:00pm so that we can get back to the beach\, ready our gear\, use the restroom if necessary\, and be ready for action by 8:20pm. Please take into account the time necessary to pump up boards if you are paddling an inflatable. 🙂 \n\n\n\n\n\nFor those who wish for a longer paddle into the dark of night: It is likely that Ella will be making the return paddle to Empire Beach after a toast and some cheer on the dune at North Bar Lake. After our arrival to North Bar Lake we will allow you to let loose and go your own way. We just ask that please\, for the sake of safety and Ella’s fragile spirit\, pleasey please let Ella or additional organizers know that you are taking off into the night either back to your vehicle\, or returning under the moon to Empire Beach before Ella is ready to depart. The returning group\, if accompanying Ella\, will likely return to Empire Beach by 11:30pm. \n\n\n\nWeather: So far it looks like it is going to be clear skies\, 80 degrees and calm water. Absolutely perfect. We’re crossing our fingers it stays this way\, and we know our Mama will work her magic to ensure it does. \nWhat to bring: \n\nNon-motorized watercraft of choice\n\nBoard / Boat\nPaddle\nLife jacket (per Coast Guard regulation\, PFDs must be on the bodies of all kayak & canoe paddlers\, and either worn or strapped to all SUPs) \nLeash (for all SUPs)\n\n\n Functioning Headlamp\nLight / Lantern to put at the front of your watercraft\n Drinking water\nSwimwear *if you plan to get wet*\nFleece and/or neoprene to stay warm (bring an extra cozy fleece for post-paddle)\nA buddy!\nA snack or beverage to pass if you wish to hang around at North Bar Lake to cheers and cheer under the moon at the conclusion of our paddle.\n\nRSVP Now \n  \nThis event is free\, and we hope that it always will be.

She has brightened the shine of the moon\, the sun\, and the stars. Her dazzling light will continue to guide us\, always.\n  \n \n  \n  \nJoin us Saturday\, November 5th ~ A day dedicated to the grand celebration of an extraordinary life\, and the vibrant\, childlike spirit of Beryl Skrocki. \n\n\nWe hope to see you from 12:00 – 5:00pm onward for a full day of remembrance\, music\, joy\, and laughter. \nLocation: Find us in the heart of Empire\, right in front of Sleeping Bear Surf; we are closing off the street between Lake Street and La Rue\, where a grand tent will stand in its place. \nSleeping Bear Surf will be open as the Beryl experience\, a sanctuary\, for you to feel her everlasting presence\, impact\, and get a glimpse into her extraordinary life\, a life walked with love\, and joy.  \n \nDetails:  \n12:00 – 1:00 Blake Elliott will be serenading us with her beautiful music while we gather\, squeeze on the Skrocki family\, and take a walk through the Beryl Sanctuary  \n1:00 – 3:00 Welcome poem by Anne-Marie Oomen followed by Remembrances of Beryl\, with music by Zack Peterson transitioning us through speakers  \n3:00 – 5:00 “Scrumdilyumbo” food by Mel & Fel will be served during which time all will have the opportunity to share a story at the mic\, record it verbally\, or write it on a memory card for the Skrocki family to cherish. \n5:00 Reading of Berylisms by children Ella\, Reiss & Annabel & Closing Poem with Norm Wheeler and Anne-Marie Oomen  \n5:30 Continued Celebration at the Empire Public Beach [Lighthouse] – We will gather at the beach for a sunset cheers with champagne from our friends at Mawby Vineyards.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Beach Clean Up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of action in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore\, at North Bar Lake. \nWhile North Bar is one of the most pristine inland lakes in the area\, it is also prone to an abundance of trash. North Bar has a fluctuating outlet\, and in the past few years it has failed to connect to Lake Michigan entirely\, therefore during rough days on the big lake\, plastics make their way over the sand into the outlet and trap themselves in the reeds around the inland lake. \nAs the heart of the lakeshore\, North Bar Lake is home to a beautiful\, fragile ecosystem – inhabited by various fish species\, birds\, turtles\, and mammals. Plastic pollution is a threat to that vital ecosystem. \nJoin us at 5:30pm to hear from a Biologist with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Service about the importance of the ecosystem within North Bar Lake and stick around to pay tribute by doing a deep clean! \nIn partnership with the Northern Michigan Surfrider Chapter\, FLOW\, Friends of Sleeping Bear\, Beth Price Photography and supported by Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate\, and S’well. We will have heaps of awesome information\, inspiration\, and connections to make all on April 22nd at North Bar Lake. Come hang and let’s do some spring cleanin’! \nWhat to bring: \n\nA National Park Pass for parking at North Bar Lake parking lot & access to the Park — Can be purchased at the National Park Headquarters in Empire.\nGloves! It may be a bit chilly but also gloves are great cleanup companions! Hand sanitizer will be available on site as well.\nBag or Bucket! Old coffee sacks or plastic bags? A big bucket? Bring it!
