101 People Who Make a Difference in Canyon Lake

For her Canyon Lake Community Facebook group, Donna Ritchie has begun a series called “101 People Who Make a Difference in Canyon Lake.” She is sharing these vignettes with The Friday Flyer and says, “I will feature some of the residents who are doing, or have done, things in the community that have made it a better place for all of us. I am not featuring them in any particular order.” Find her Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/639484372797426/
