For over half a century, the Gull Lake Kinettes have been transforming lives through community-driven Fundraising. Their enduring commitment has created measurable Community Impact and built a proud 50 Years Legacy of service in Gull Lake. Through a wide range of initiatives—from local assistance and educational programs to cultural and recreational projects—they continue to nurture the community and elevate the quality of life for their neighbors.


Gull Lake Kinettes: A Legacy of Community Impact and Fundraising Excellence


The Gull Lake Kinettes have consistently harnessed the power of Fundraising to fuel a diverse array of local projects. Their many achievements have strengthened community bonds, enhanced resources, and enriched lives throughout Gull Lake. Although their recent fiscal efforts represent only a portion of what they have accomplished over their 50 Years Legacy, they stand as a powerful testament to the positive change that community spirit inspires.


A Snapshot of Recent Impact


Over the fiscal years 2022/2023 and 2023/2024, the Kinettes raised a combined total of $30,996. These funds have been allocated to several key community areas:

  • Local Assistance & Education: Delivering support for individuals in need and providing scholarships.

  • Community Enhancements: Upgrading the Gull Lake Rec Complex, boosting school programs, and funding various local projects.

  • Cultural & Recreational Investments: Renovating the Lyceum Theatre and improving the Kiaskus Trail.

  • Health & Vital Services: Supporting local health initiatives—including modest contributions to TeleMiracle—and funding programs for Cystic Fibrosis.

  • Local Business Support: The Annual Survivor Raffle gives back to the community by purchasing gift cards from local businesses. This approach not only supports the local economy but also underscores the Kinettes’ commitment to creating an interconnected, thriving community.


Note: The initiatives listed above represent only a snapshot of the many ways in which the Gull Lake Kinettes have enriched our community. Their extensive legacy of events and programs is far too comprehensive to fully capture in a single post.


Celebrating Traditions and Spreading Cheer


Beyond the numbers, the Kinettes have become synonymous with cherished community events that bring people together. Their annual Christmas Caroling event and the Annual Santa Claus Day movie event at SWT Lyceum Theatre are beloved traditions that foster unity, celebrate local culture, and create memorable experiences for families. These festive initiatives underscore the Kinettes’ commitment to weaving joy into the fabric of Gull Lake through ongoing Fundraising and robust community engagement.


A Vision for the Future


As Gull Lake looks forward to upcoming celebrations—highlighted by the much-anticipated 50th Anniversary Party—the ongoing efforts of the Gull Lake Kinettes promise to inspire continued growth and transformation. Their robust Fundraising campaigns and strategic investments in local education, culture, community projects, and health initiatives ensure that their 50 Years Legacy of service remains dynamic. While their commitment to TeleMiracle is an important part of their support network, it is just one aspect of their broader mission to nurture and empower their community.
