FRIENDS OF BERTRAM CHAIN OF LAKES

Great News!

We've closed on 51 additional acres and so that brings our total to 370 acres!  That means we own almost one-third of our future park!  Yeah!  

Thanks for all your support in helping to make this happen!

Thanks to the Monticello Soccer Club!

We had a great time marching in the Monticello Parade on July 11th and we wanted to make sure and thank the Monticello Soccer Club for allowing us to tag along with them.  We appreciate their support!  

Family Fun Day is Saturday!

We're less than 48 hours away from FAMILY FUN DAY!!   This is a special opportunity to spend some time at Bertram Lakes Regional Park . . . here are the details:

When: Saturday, June 12, 2010 from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM
Where: Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park, 9910 Briarwood Ave NE, Monticello, MN
Directions: Directions are available at www.mapquest.com, but the easiest way is to take CR 39 West to Briarwood Ave. Go South on Briarwood Ave for 1 mile and the park is on the left side.

Family Fun Day!

First off, HUGE thanks to everyone who turned out for our May 18th Open House at the Monticello Community Center! It was so fun to meet so many of you and put faces with the email address. Big congratulations to Maxwell Walker! He was the winner of our Friends of Bertram Lakes t-shirt drawing!

Next, we wanted to inform you that We will be holding another FAMILY FUN DAY at Bertram Lakes again this year. It will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2010 from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM. There will be an entire day of fun-filled FREE events and so we hope you can attend!

There will be guided wagon rides, hiking, face painting, canoeing, kayaking, child fishing, open swimming, several amphitheater events (including live raptors, owls, and eagles) and a cook out! You do not want to miss this event! It's a great way to spend time with the whole family and enjoy this beautiful land.

It will be great to see you all there!
