Updates from our Friends
2022 Annual Bunch’s Bee Farm BBQ GET TOGETHER in Hughson, California.
14 of us gathered at the Bunch’s for this great get together this year. Sally and the Den Dulks looked great as per usual. Everyone did as a matter of fact.
At 2pm Troy set up his laptop and we zoomed to Oregon to Alan Methven’s Celebration of Life service. We raised our glasses with a toast and said goodbye.
It was a perfect day filled with news and an update from Troy on Board news too. With Roy helping Troy with the BBQing and Susan making her unbelievable old fashioned made ice cream on the apple pie brought to the party by Rosanne we all ended up filled to elegant sufficiency.
Some of our friends and family have emailed and phoned what they have been up to this summer. When I have their permission I will post here Please feel free to share and add your messages here too.
Aloha MKV family! I hope you all are having a fabulous summer. We are keeping super busy with our bees which are making honey galore. We have 1400 hives pollinating alfalfa to produce seeds, 200 in the Sierras and 220 in the coastal range where they made some beautiful sage honey this year.
We had a small gathering of MKV west coast family on Saturday, June 22. Art & Carole DenDulk, Roy Murdoch, Rosanne Mastrangioli, Caryn Childs, Jim Land and Barbara Sonnebend were able to attend this year. We enjoyed a nice visit and dinner together. I remembered to take pictures at the end! When Flora came she took so many which was great.

Aloha Barbara
Nice to hear from you…..looks like you’ve been really busy!! Jim and I have been up at our condo at Lake Placid cleaning and getting things in order for the onslaught of family/friends for the summer. I’ll try to get back to you early next week with any suggestions I might have regarding the MKV history column. Mahalo for all your efforts on behalf of our MKV Ohana. Best to you and Ken. Elaine (&Jim)
Please everyone get to work and submit to Elaine your story of how you came to be part of MKV’s family.
Hey Barbara! You’re doing a great job and glad you’re staying on this. I think it’s wonderful that we’ll have all of this at our fingertips and the new site looks great. Mark and Nancy are actually gonna be heading up the tournament next year. Yes, I pulled Mark’s name out of the hat to be co-chair with Nancy for the 20-20 tournament. He still thinks it was rigged. LOL. So Joe and I won’t officially be doing anything next year however it’s possible I will contribute some to the daily updates if Mark wants me to help him out.
