Good afternoon!


LSA Board Candidates – As outlined in our By-Laws, petitions for Board candidates must be turned into the office by June 15th. This year, two board seats will be filled in the election which will be held this fall. I’m glad to report that three candidates submitted their petitions and they will appear on the ballot in this order. Fred Kile, Roger Allen and Donna Weston. Good luck to each of you and thank you for your willingness to serve our community.


Boat Storage Renovation – This is a reminder that the boat storage renovation started on June 22nd and the storage area will reopen on Friday, July 3rd.  


Mandatory Mowing – The next Lawn inspection will occur this coming Wednesday, July 1st. Please have your property mowed no later than 7pm on June 30th to avoid a citation.


Local July 4th Festivities – If you’re looking for ways to celebrate the 4th of July next weekend, you won’t have to venture very far from Lake Summerset. The Village of Durand has events planned for July 4th weekend. Their fireworks display is scheduled for the evening of the fourth at dusk and the public is welcome to attend. See link below for further details.


Durand 4th Festival


Fireworks – As we approach the 4th of July weekend, I’d like to remind all Lake Summerset Members that fireworks are illegal in both Stephenson and Winnebago Counties. They are also prohibited in our Community per the Redbook, and we will have additional Public Safety Officers patrolling and looking for anyone using fireworks. Please do not set off fireworks within the Lake Summerset Community and remember we have a spectacular fireworks display planned for the evening of July 18th. As we have in the past, the fireworks display will be set off from the dam at dusk.


Knocking/Kicking of Doors of homes – Over the past few years we have had numerous reports of an activity, commonly referred to as “Ding-Dong-Ditch”, many of which occurred very late at night. Thanks to the increasing presence of surveillance cameras installed by many property owners, several individuals were identified and cited for causing a disturbance and trespassing. At the December meeting, the Board approved a motion to increase the fine for Ding-Dong-Ditch from $350 to $1,200 for each individual involved. Please take a moment to explain to all family members and your guests, the dangers, and the financial consequences related to this activity.


I’m available – If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding Lake Summerset, feel free to reply to this email. Your feedback, and questions are very important and by replying to this eblast, your comments will come directly to me and only to me. In return, I’ll respond to your message as quickly as possible with accurate information.


Have a pleasant and safe weekend!


Mike
