Lake Owen History Book Project

As most of you know, in 2010 we began a fascinating project to write a book dealing with the history of Lake Owen.  This past summer we really geared up, hiring a Project Manager, three researcher/writers, a professional photographer, and a book designer. We have collected 25 self-written family stories, and nearly 40 interviews with families have been conducted. The photographer shot dozens of wonderful scenes, and much research has been done on Lake Owen camps, resorts, logging, railroads, early settlers, Indians, explorers, and more.  All of this will make for a most impressive book, and our hope is to publish it no later than yearend 2012.  But this is an expensive project, and we need your help. We are still short of our fundraising goal of $75,000, so anything you can donate will be most appreciated.
