Good afternoon and Happy May 1st,
CRC Meeting – Join us tomorrow morning at the LSA office for the May Community Relations Committee Meeting. This month’s program will offer education and awareness regarding scams by phone, email or in person. Coffee and snacks will be served at 9:30 am with the meeting starting at 10:00am.
April 17th Hailstorm – Like many of you, the Association, and the Otter Creek Lake Utility District filed claims with our insurance company the following Monday morning, April 20th. Some of our roofs and siding sustained damage as did two of our maintenance vehicles and the public safety vehicle which was on the road when the hail started to fall. A roofing contractor was contacted, and they are here today inspecting all our buildings. An adjuster has been assigned by our insurance carrier, and they will be here late next week to provide an inspection. As soon as the inspections are complete and we have the estimates, I’ll be glad to share information regarding the extent of the damage and the costs involved in making the repairs. If anyone ever has a question or would like information regarding any of the Associations’ assets, please ask. You may do so by simply replying to this email.
Making yourself visible – As the temperatures have been getting warmer, recreational activities on our roads are increasing. Whether you’re walking, walking your dog, jogging, riding a bike, scooter or golf cart, please be safe and try to make yourself as visible as possible. Reflective vests or other gear could make the difference between being seen by a driver or not being seen. Our roads are multiple use, and we want everyone to be as safe as possible to avoid accidents.
2026 Vehicle Decals – By now, all members who have paid their dues should have received their 2026 credentials, including the 2026 decals. Please make it a priority to replace the now expired 2025 decals with the new ones. These decals must be displayed on all vehicles, including automobiles, golf carts, ATV’s, UTV’s, and all watercraft.
Unregistered Watercraft – Did you know that we have a longstanding rule in place that any watercraft being placed on Lake Summerset must be registered with the office? The term “Watercraft” includes motorized and non-motorized boats, kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. The LSA Board met on Monday April 13th and approved a motion to increase the fine for placing any watercraft which is not registered with the Association to $1,500 per boat. If you own any type of watercraft, it must be registered with the office. If you have any questions regarding what is considered a watercraft and if it needs to be registered, please call the office or myself before placing it on the water.
Campground Opening – Tomorrow, May 2, 2026 marks the opening of the Lake Summerset Campground. The gates to the campground will open at 8:00am. Please do not park, or line up on Rock Grove Road in advance as the Winnebago County Sherriff’s department has notified us that they may cite any campers parked on the county road. Also know that according to the Campground Rules & Regulations, the first two weeks of the camping season is reserved for members only. Our Camp hosts Jeff & Kari are returning this year and they look forward to seeing you tomorrow and providing a great camping experience this season.
Hoping everyone has a pleasant and safe weekend!
Mike
