Thank You Mr. John Woodruff

Well-known performance-boat enthusiast, John Woodruff brought his 48-foot Windship Marine Technology, Inc. catamaran and matching Bell Long Ranger L206 helicopter to several of the biggest boating events at the Lake of the Ozarks again this year! Summerset Boat Lifts had the honor of providing this awesome boat lift with a helicopter pad on top for Mr. Woodruff during the 2014 Shootout and Supercat Fest.

Mr. Woodruff has been flying helicopters since 1978. He bought his first helicopter in 1986 and flew it to the Key West World Offshore Championships.  Ever since then his love for performance boats, as well as helicopters has grown. Aside from three special occasions, Woodruff always flies the helicopter himself. Mr. Woodruff states "The Windship helicopter is my "car" and my passion." He said he would much rather sit in the chopper all day long at 500 feet, than go to Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport to board the germ bucket.

Dogwood Animal Shelter


Dogwood Animal Shelter is a non-profit, "No-Kill" refuge for the homeless domesticated animals in the Lake of the Ozarks area.  The facility houses 200 of our furry friends that are waiting for that loving family to adopt them.  In addition to animal adoption, their services include low cost spay/neuter, low cost obedience classes, pet ID tags and micro-chipping.  There's no public assistance funding for Dogwood Animal Shelter, so their funding comes mainly from their Thrift Shop.  Other fundraisers throughout the year also help, with Deck the Docks being a huge contribution.  For more information on Dogwood Animal Shelter please visit: http://www.daslakeoftheozarks.com/
