MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!! On April 26th, DeWitt Outdoors will be teaming up with Red Beard Scuba and Recovery and PADI Aware for a lakeshore cleanup of Deep Creek Lake! Volunteer divers will work to clean up as much trash as they can from the bottom of the lake, but additional volunteers are needed to help remove trash from the water and clean the shoreline. Can't make it out? No worries! Head outside your own home or to the nearest area around the lake and help clean up—every bit helps, and we truly appreciate anyone who takes the time to care for our beautiful lake!

St. Mark’s Lutheran Church will host a community bike collection on Saturday, May 10, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the church’s location at 6 Second Street in Oakland. The event will be held rain or shine. Residents are encouraged to donate repairable bicycles, bike parts, and sewing machines, along with a suggested $10 contribution to help offset the cost of international shipping. All donations will benefit Bikes for the World, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing bicycles to individuals in underserved communities around the globe. Since its founding in 2005, Bikes for the World has collected more than 200,000 bicycles and shipped over 400 containers to 32 countries, supporting 114 community projects. Bicycles are used to increase access to education, employment, and healthcare, particularly in areas where transportation options are limited or nonexistent. On collection day, volunteers will be available to receive donations, issue receipts, and prepare the bikes for shipping by lowering seats and handlebars and removing pedals. Bicycles do not need to be in perfect condition but donors are asked to recycle bikes that are heavily rusted or beyond repair. All contributions are tax-deductible.
