Good Day Everyone from the Merlin and Area,
You will see in the next little while that the fence is going up around our new courts. After the fence is up we will have someone working on the court surface and the all the lines for pickle ball, and a half court basket ball court. We will try to keep you up to date with pictures as it comes together.
Thank you to everyone that supports your Merlin & Area Kinsmen. If it was not for you, we would not be able to supply the kids, and adults, a great, safe place to play.

As you all know work is well under way for the multi-court, pickle ball and basket ball court. If you would like to contribute with a donation to the project, please let us know. The cost of this project is very similar to our splash pad which was approximately $150,000.00. This takes a lot of fundraising and every dollar donated will go directly to the courts.
Thank you.

Work is well under way on our next surprise for Merlin and area people to use. We are building two multi use courts for pickleball, basketball and ball hockey.
Again thank you to our many supporters.
At the moment please stay off the concrete as it is a work in progress.

Good Day,
Just a friendly reminder for everyone that comes to our fish fries. We offer all you can eat, perch, pickeral, frog legs, broasted chicken, baked potatoes, coleslaw, rolls and brown beans as well as coffee in this price. The dinner is all you can eat at the dinner. You do not need to take to much on your first trip up as we always allow you to go back up. This way there is no waste of food. We do not offer doggy bags or take out containers to take extra fish and chicken home. Anyone seen taking fish home in a bag or container that they brought will be asked to leave and not allowed to purchase a ticket again. I know our regulars know this but, it is a good reminder for new patrons so they do not get asked to leave.
I hope you understand as we pay at least $20.00 a pound for perch and it does not take long to eat a pound.
After all we are a charity that gives what we make back to our community.
Thank you.

To everyone who came out to our fish dinner on Saturday we would like to give you all a huge Thank You.
Our April 18th fish dinner is coming quick. This is our Cystic Fibrosis dinner with all proceeds going to CF. This is also the dinner where we raffle off the tables and who ever donated the most goes first for dinner, the second largest amount goes second and so on until all tables are called. We always appreciate everyone that comes out and helps make this dinner and our donation a great success.
This is also our last fish dinner until November.
See you in April.

We like to thank everyone that buys tickets for our Fish Dinners. Your support is over whelming. We would also like to ask that you bring a can or box of food for the Merlin Food Bank. There is a great need right now and we will make sure it gets to them.
Once again thank you.
