Boat Storage Lot Gate - New Lock/Old Combo
The previous lock on the boat storage lot gate failed and was replaced, but the new lock uses the current 4-digit combination. Please note: The combo must be set to the top row on the new lock, not the center line. Markings on the lock indicate this change.

As a reminder, please ensure your stored items are parked “squarely” in your assigned parking space and not encroaching on the spaces on either side. Your fellow property owners appreciate your cooperation and consideration.

If you recently sold your watercraft or RV or no longer need your parking space and wish to relinquish it, please advise the Infrastructure and Roads Committee, so the space can be made available for another property owner. Thank you!

Found Near Gate
Do you recognize this adorable stuffed animal? An Off the Cuff poster is keeping it safe for the owner until claimed. Another neighbor is looking for well drilling and tree clearing recommendations. And, if you know a place to take cordless electric tools for repair, an OTC poster could use your help.

Trivia Answer: Switzerland

A visit to Switzerland is never complete without tasting the mouth-watering Swiss chocolates and bringing them back home for friends and family. However, it is not only the tourists but also the Swiss people who love the delicious chocolates manufactured by the top Swiss brands in the country. The Swiss people lead the world in chocolate consumption with 19.4 pounds of chocolate being consumed by the Swiss people per capita per year. Switzerland also ensures that people in other parts of the world are not deprived of their home-manufactured chocolate delicacies and exports chocolates across the world with Germany, the UK, France, and Italy forming the biggest markets for Swiss chocolate producers.
