This Weekend at Grand Lake

These nice weekends keep stacking up!

Good Morning!

Man, it’s been a pretty sweet run of weather, don’t you think? I mean, allergies, yes, but beautiful days, no doubt.

So, the time has come… I need help. Maybe it’s you, or someone you know.

To get started, and maybe it will stay this way, I need someone that has 2 or 3 or 4 hours per week to help me get content on the Grand Lake Living website.

We are talking things like getting events added to the events page, publishing new content, etc.

To start, all of the content will be provided, so it will mostly be copying, pasting, uploading pictures, etc.

I’d say the requirements would include a love for (or at least a strong liking) all things Grand Lake, good knowledge of the entire lake area, probably helps if you are on and know how to use Facebook, and if you have even just a little experience with WordPress, that would be a bonus.

The WordPress thing isn’t a deal breaker with the right person. It’s easy to pick up and I promise you won’t break the internet.

Obvs, you need to have a computer - this would be a work-from-home, coffee shop, dock, deck, or boat type of gig with no set hours.

If this might be you, or someone you know, reply to this email or send me an email at [email protected].

Now, on to what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake:

Scavenger Hunt - Saturday at 11 am is the annual Golf Cart Scavenger Hunt & Auction at The Shebang benefiting Second Chance Pet Rescue. I don’t know much about it, but I bet if you show up on a golf cart, they will get you rolling.
