C LU B BU SI N E S S MARINA PAVILION RULES

RULES OF THE LAKE

HOURS OF OPERATION The Marina Pavilion will be open dawn to dusk or during sanctioned LAYCC events.

1. All requirements set forth in the Georgia Boating Safety Act shall apply on Lake Arrowhead lakes (Lake Arrowhead and Lake Chickasaw). This includes carrying life preservers for passengers and crew. 2. Only registered watercraft displaying a current Lake Arrowhead registration decal are permitted on Lake Arrowhead lakes. 3. All watercraft operating in the northern part of Lake Arrowhead, as well as other areas with NO WAKE buoys, must use a speed that generates no wake. 4. The body of water viewed from the Marina area (a.k.a. main lake) is an all sports area. All motorized watercraft are to follow a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction. 5. At slow speeds, traffic can go in either direction on the lake ONLY in these locations: Within 100 ft North of the dam, within 100 ft South of the Narrows "No Wake Buoys", and in the middle on an East/West straight line to/from "Honeymoon Cove." 6. All watercraft pulling people (i.e. skier, tuber, etc.) must have either two (2) persons aboard (one driver and one safety observer at least 12 years of age) or the watercraft MUST be equipped with a wide angle rear view mirror so the driver is aware of the location of the person being pulled at all times. All people being pulled MUST wear approved U.S Coast Guard life vests. 7. The number of skiers is limited to two (2) per boat at the same time. As soon as one skier drops the second skier must drop immediately thereafter. Skiers should raise one (1) ski, wakeboard, or kneeboard while in water with a slack towline to warn other boats in the area. 8. All occupants of canoes, rowboats, hydrobikes, paddle-boats, SUPs, kayaks, etc., should wear appropriate life vests. These vessels should stay close to a shore (Georgia law requires children 10 and under to wear a life jacket at all times on a boat unless the child is in an enclosed cabin). 9. All watercraft must use running lights after sundown. Use docking lights when approaching a docking area only, they can be blinding to other boaters. 10. Swimming in the lake is not permitted in and around the Marina area other than in the designated Swimming Area. All children, below a responsible age, swimming in the lake must wear a life vest and be supervised by an adult 18 years of age or older. 11. Personal watercraft (i.e. Jet Skis, Wave Runners, SeaDoos, and eFoils) are PROHIBITED on Lake Arrowhead. 12. Drunkenness, drug use, rowdy behavior, obscene language and littering are not permitted on the lakes. 13. All powered watercraft users should slow down when passing close to anglers, nonmotorized watercraft and swimmers on rafts/tubes and minimize their wakes in coves as well. Ski boats or other high speed watercraft running parallel to NO WAKE areas should move farther out from the NO WAKE buoys so that they do not produce a potentially dangerous wake in the designated NO WAKE areas.

FOOD & BEVERAGE Food and beverages are allowed to be carried onto the Pavilion. No glass bottles or beer kegs are permitted. No grilling or preparation of food is allowed. All trash must be placed in the trash receptacles on the shore. PERSONAL CHAIRS Property owners are allowed to bring their own folding chairs on to the Pavilion. They must be taken with you when you leave, i.e. chairs cannot be left behind. ATTIRE Members and guests shall dress in attire befitting the surroundings of the community. Extremely revealing attire, such as a thong, is not suitable for the family atmosphere of the Marina Pavilion. NO SWIMMING No swimming is permitted from the Marina Pavilion or docks anywhere in the “No Wake” zone. No running or diving is permitted from the Pavilion or docks. NO FISHING No fishing is allowed from the Marina Pavilion or docks. BOATS Boats can tie up on the side of the walkway only where there are cleats and cannot at any time tie up to the Pavilion. Maximum time at the walkway is 1 hour (or 15 minutes if others are waiting). These areas are intended for drop off and pickup. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES No grilling, skateboarding, bicycles, rollerblading, sunbathing, or feeding the wildlife is permitted on the Marina Pavilion or docks. PETS Pets are not allowed on the Marina Pavilion.

DRY STORAGE A free dry storage decal has been mailed to those who rent a space. This decal must be visible and placed on an item. In addition each trailer, camper, RV, motorhome and watercraft must also display a current decal. If you drive it, you need a vehicle decal. If you have a trailer/camper, you need a trailer/other decal. Vehicle decals ARE available at the South Gate and all others at the Administration office. All items MUST display a current decal to continue using a Lake Arrowhead Dry Storage and Boat Slip. As a reminder, it is a violation of the covenants to park or store the following: boats, vehicles, trailers, campers, RVs, etc. on your property. Agreements may be terminated at any time due to past due accounts. page 14

The Lake Arrowhead Lake Committee, a group of resident volunteers working under the direction of Mike Ludden (committee chairman) and Kim Jordan (LAPOA Board Member), have assembled some important lake topics: LAKE RULES / NO WAKE ZONES Rules regarding the safe operation of watercraft on Lake Arrowhead can be found in a number of different places - this magazine, Club Rules and Regulations, the LAPOA website, and finally in "Lake Information" brochures which are widely available. Our lake is small and boat traffic is growing so it is critical that all boat operators familiarize themselves with these rules. As excessive speed in NO WAKE areas remains the #1 reported concern, a modification to our "no wake" guidance has been implemented for 2026: All watercraft operating in the northern part of Lake Arrowhead, in any cove, as well as in other areas designated with NO WAKE buoys, must operate at a speed of less than 5 MPH and which generates no wake for the protection of people and property. Additionally, in accordance with Georgia Law, boats must operate at idle (slowest forward) speed within 100 feet of any shoreline, dock, other vessel, or persons in the water. Boat operators are reminded that they are responsible for any damage caused by their wakes. SHORELINE EROSION Boats travelling at excessive speed too close to the eastern shore of Lake Arrowhead are contributing to shoreline erosion. Operators are reminded to maintain a safe minimum distance from shoreline (at least 100' per Georgia Law) while underway. Towing especially results in boat wakes that are larger and more destructive. Boat drivers are reminded to operate their boats as close to the center of the lake as possible to minimize shoreline damage in accordance with Lake Arrowhead policy.

BOAT & TRAILER REGISTRATION ALL boats and ALL watercraft (kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, paddleboards, waterbikes, etc), as well as trailers, are required to have a current registration sticker which must be posted on the vessel or on the paddle of an inflatable craft. Operators of motorized boats are required to provide proof of liability insurance with limits not less than $300,000 in support of their registration requests. Registration forms can be accessed on-line at lakearrowheadclub. net, or in-person at either security gate, or from the Administration office. Compliance with boat/ watercraft/trailer registration policy has been lacking in recent years. Residents are reminded that these fees, while nominal, are mandatory and help care for our most valuable community amenity. And the insurance verification required for ALL motorized boats is in place for everyone's protection.

LAYC BOAT CLUB The LAYC Pontoon Club offers an exclusive opportunity for Lake Arrowhead residents to enjoy the lake without the hassle of boat ownership. Homeowners may join the club with an annual membership commitment of $120 for the year. Membership does not renew automatically. Enrollment is open to all property owners in good standing, providing a cost-effective way to access our fleet of well-maintained pontoon boats. The boathouse operates 4 new / nearly-new pontoon boats for exclusive use by boat club members. Do you like to fish but are frustrated with the limited areas to fish from the shore? Join the boat club and chase the big ones out in the deep water. Do you enjoy swimming in the crystal clear water of Lake Arrowhead but don't care for the crowds at the swim area? Join the boat club and cruise with your family and friends to picnic and swim in a secluded cove. Contact the Administration office for information and to sign up. New to boating? All new memberships include free lessons (a $450 value).

BOATHOUSE SERVICES / KAYAK RACKS Capt Rob's staff is available to assist with boat rentals as well as powerboat, sailboat, and kayak instruction. In addition, 24 new kayak racks have been installed for resident rental at the marina. Contact the boathouse at boatsforrent@gmail.com for information. The boathouse is open from mid April to mid November (by rental appointment and weather permitting). And for 2026, the boathouse is modifying their hours of operation to accept rentals from 10 AM to 7 PM seven days a week - opening earlier on Sunday in response to resident requests.

SHORT-TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA Cherokee County, Georgia has recently adopted an ordinance regarding short-term rentals. The full ordinance is available at cherokeega.com/ ShortTermRentalOrdinanceCherokeeCounty20210806.pdf, but we wanted to make each property owner aware of this ordinance and have highlighted a few of the key points in the ordinance. 1. The purpose of the ordinance is to establish standards for short-term rentals of privately-owned residential structures rented to transient occupants, minimize adverse effects of short-term rental uses on surrounding residential neighborhoods, and preserve the character of residential neighborhoods. 2. A certificate is required to lawfully rent, operate, or advertise any property for short-term rental. a. Owners must apply to the Cherokee County Development Services Center on an annual basis for a certificate. b. Certificates require an initial administration fee and annual renewal fees. 3. The Certificate number must be listed in any advertisement for the rental of the property. 4. No short-term rental shall offer more than five (5) bedrooms for rent. 5. The use of outdoor speakers by short-term rentals is prohibited. 6. The number of occupants shall not exceed two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons. 7. The short-term rental must have parking off the street sufficient for one car for each bedroom being rented. Parking shall only be on designated hard surfaced areas. 8. Quiet hours are 12:00 a.m. midnight to 7:00 a.m. daily, 12:00 a.m. midnight Saturday to 1:00 p.m. Sunday). 9. The Cherokee County Marshal’s office (678.493.4080) is tasked with enforcement of the ordinance.

ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR WORK POLICY

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES On November 11, 2025, we upgraded our credit card processing system. This change was necessary to offer you an additional, more convenient payment method: ACH withdrawals directly from your bank account. As part of the transition, all previously stored credit card information has been deleted from the old processor’s secure servers. CRITICAL ACTION REQUIRED: If you use a credit card for recurring monthly payments, you must visit or call the Administration Office at 770-721-7912 so we can re-enter your credit card information or assist you in selecting a different payment method. We would also like to inform you of an important upcoming change: beginning January 1, 2026, a 2.95% convenience fee will be applied to all charges on accounts paid with a credit card. This fee will not appear until your account is charged on January 30, 2026. Please note that payments made by check or through the new ACH option will not incur this fee. Additionally, the convenience fee will not apply to purchases made in the Pro Shop or Grill when you pay as you go by credit card. The fee will only apply to maintenance fees and items charged to your account that are paid by credit card at the end of the month. Please be aware that any maintenance fees paid by credit card, regardless of when the payment is made, will incur the convenience fee. After extensive review, the LAPOA Board and LAYCC management determined that this change is necessary. The Club currently absorbs all credit card processing fees, which are projected to exceed $200,000 this year alone. Redirecting these costs will allow us to allocate more funds back into the community—most significantly toward infrastructure improvements.

Any exterior change to an existing structure requires approval from the ARC before commencing with work. All exterior changes or renovations shall be submitted to the ARC for approval. The Exterior Modification form may be picked up at the Administrative Office or uploaded from the lakearrowheadclub.net website. Projects initiated without proper approval are subject to modifications at the owner’s expense.

ATTENTION PROPERTY OWNERS WHO RENT OUT YOUR HOME: Please notify your tenants that all Resident Guests (all those who rent, lease, or otherwise occupy a home which they do not legally own) are required to renew. $50 PER ADULT ON THE LEASE Call Member Services at 770.721.7912 Mon-Fri 9:00am to 5:00pm for an appointment. Resident Guests must provide a current lease. page 17

QUORUM

THIS YEAR'S ELECTION

To elect a board requires a minimum of 10 percent of the eligible property owners. Eligible simply means that you are current on your “dues” and that you own property in Lake Arrowhead. Only one vote per property is allowed, so if you’re married or have a partner in your home, the two of you should agree on your vote, because you only get one.

There are four (4) scheduled positions open for this election cycle.

There are special rules for property owners with more than one lot: simply put, if you pay dues on it, you can vote it. Today, the quorum would be approximately 200 property owners. We would love to see more.

We currently have 4 nominees, so we would love to see more people decare their candidacy. At this point, you can declare between now and the annual meeting on October 24th, and we will endeavor to place your bio and photo on the web-site, although you will not appear on the ballot; you will be a write-in candidate. Alternatively, you can announce your candidacy on the day of the election, where you will also be a write-in candidate. Just email nominatelapoa@gmail.com

HOW TO VOTE First, you need a ballot. 1. If you pay your monthly dues by USPS mail, your October bill will come with a ballot. 2. They are available for pickup in the foyer at the clubhouse. 3. You can also download them from the Lake Arrowhead website and then print them and return them. You may also fill them in on-line if you have Adobe software that will let you. The email address to return your ballots is LAPOAGAVOTE@gmail.com. 4. We post a link to the ballot on LAPOAGA. com and on the Official LAPOA FB Page so you can get to it from there. 5. You can get one during the Annual Membership Meeting at the polling table. 6. Early voting/Absentee voting begins in early October. page 22

MAILED IN BALLOTS should be sent to Lake Arrowhead Election P.O. Box 465 Waleska, GA 30183 and must be postmarked 5 days before the day of the Annual Membership Meeting, which is October 24. EMAIL VOTING is not on-line voting. If you wish to vote via email, the completed ballot should be scanned in (if necessary) and attached to an email. The email should be sent to a special email address that is provided for voting, LAPOAGAVOTE@gmail. com. Email voting ends at 11:59 PM the day prior to the Annual Membership Meeting. The date/time stamp on the email containing the attached ballot from the Property Owner will be used to determine the delivery date. IN-PERSON VOTING can be done at the Annual Membership Meeting on Election Day. Blank ballots will be available at the poll location for in-person voters. Ballots will be accepted at the polling table until one (1) hour after the last Candidate has had an opportunity to address the Annual Membership Meeting. At that time, the poll closes and no more ballots will be accepted.

WHO'S IN CHARGE

COMMITTEES

LAPOA Committees currently include:

Elections Committee. This committee vets the nominated candidates, introduces them to the community, and supervises the election itself, including the distribution and receipt of ballots. Tabulators are assigned to count the votes, and the Elections Supervisor validates and publishes the results of the election. This year, Jim Riticher is the Elections Supervisor, and Charlotte Herndon chairs the Election Committee. Robert McGurk is the Board liaison for the election.

All Lake Arrowhead property owners can become more actively involved by joining committees focused on maintaining and improving the community. The committee chairperson sets the agenda, assigns roles, and summarizes committee member concerns and proposed actions.

154 Red Cloud Drive I purchased my home in Lake Arrowhead in 2024 and continue to proudly call this home. I retired from the Georgia State Judiciary after 28 years of service where I clerked for Superior Court Criminal Trial Judges and also served as a registered Alternative Dispute Resolution Mediator for the State of Georgia. My background provides me with experience in conflict resolution, communication, problem solving, and working with diverse perspectives. I currently serve on the LAPOA Board as the Safety/Security Director and Legal Liaison. Previously, I served on the Amazon Committee and successfully helped to restore Amazon delivery service to our community. I am committed to helping Lake Arrowhead thrive. I’m seeking to continue serving on the LAPOA Board because I genuinely enjoy living in Lake Arrowhead. I believe my professional experience, knowledge, and commitment to our community can continue to be an asset. I am excited and optimistic about the future of Lake Arrowhead. I look forward to working with our residents and fellow Board members to help make our community an even better place to live.

Since moving to Atlanta in 1974, I have seen the city change greatly. I lived in Gwinnett for 30 years before deciding to move out of the traffic and sprawl. My wife and I considered many communities but decided Lake Arrowhead would be the peaceful home we desired and moved in December 2022. A year later, I retired to enjoy the gifts of Lake Arrowhead. I worked for 46 years supporting Information Technology activities. My career started as a coder and progressed to managerial roles. I worked in finance, retail, manufacturing, insurance, and technology for companies like IBM, Georgia Pacific, Macys, and Coke. At my previous neighborhood, I was an active member of the HOA supporting the finance, amenities, and social committees for most of the years I lived in the community. I was presented with a lifetime volunteer award from my neighbors. I was also active in the Gwinnett Public Schools

page 24

serving on multiple public committees and addressing the board hundreds of times on budget, policy, and procedural items. I have used my experience to contribute to my community in the last two years as a member of the LAPOA Board serving as Treasurer. The experience of the last year, including the potential sale of the Common Property has taught me many lessons that I would like to continue to use as a LAPOA Board member. I would like to continue to serve on the LAPOA Board in the future and hope the community will return me to the LAPOA Board.

I discovered Lake Arrowhead with my husband in the summer of 2024. We moved in by that fall. The moment we visited we fell in love with the gorgeous expansive scenery and the pristine lake. We spend our time exploring and hiking daily with our dog Harlow, kayaking, swimming and David loves playing golf. Lake Arrowhead is such a special place in Georgia. Prior to moving to Lake Arrowhead, my husband and I raised our two children in East Cobb for 24 years. I have a BS in Health Education. I spent much of my time in Georgia as a preschool teacher, and volunteered in our children’s schools and our church. I also served on our previous home’s HOA board for three 2-year terms. I have served for the past year on the LAPOA board of directors and as the liaison to the lake committee. I have worked closely with that committee to bring their priorities to the board for improvements in protection of the lake from erosion, by enhanced information regarding no wake zones and speed, updating the registration form with LAYCC for motorized and nonmotorized watercraft, sharing safety and general information to all property owners in the Lake Arrowhead Living magazine and supporting a 2nd Lake cleanup day this October 3. I would like to continue my service on the board and keep working to improve all aspects of being a property owner for everyone who lives here as well as supporting other priorities that the Lake Committee has. These priorities include protecting the lake environment, enhancing signage for safety information, increasing access to the lake for property owners who do not live on the lake and improving enforcement of registration and safety rules for everyone on the lake. I have appreciated my first year on the LAPOA board and feel the knowledge I have gained will enable me to be even more effective for the next term.

What matters most to me is building trust and communicating clearly. My approach centers on listening and making thoughtful, practical decisions. Throughout my career, I have taken pride in strengthening processes, creating structure where needed, and fostering collaboration among individuals with diverse perspectives but shared goals. I am committed to responsible planning, fairness, and open dialogue. I believe in showing up, doing the work, and ensuring decisions account for both immediate needs and long-term impacts. I would be honored to bring my experience, problem-solving approach, and dedication to this community as we work together to support its future.

READING FOR THE AGES by Jeanne Schwartz Buckeye | Patrick Ryan | Random House Opening in the first decades of the 20th century, this tender and lifeaffirming novel follows the interwoven lives of two married couples in the fictional town of Bonhomie, Ohio. One half of the first of these couples is Cal Jenkins, the sweet-tempered son of a traumatized first world war veteran, born in the spring of 1920 with “a mild deformity: “ “The day you were born and one of your legs came up short,” his father, Everett, tells him, “right then I thought, well, that’s it. If we get into another big one, he’ll never be in it. Cal meets Becky Hanover at Fink’s Drugstore, where she is reading a book. Not at all worried about Cal’s uneven gait and shortened leg, Becky and Cal fall in love and marry. The other couple is Felix and Margaret Salt: their lives begin to intersect when Margaret, who is a red-headed, greeneyed "looker," walks into the town hardware store where Cal Jenkins works and demands that he turn on the radio. There's commotion on the streets outside and, especially since her husband, Felix, is serving in the Navy, Margaret wants to know what's happening. It turns out that Germany has just surrendered to the Allies. Hearing the news, Margaret grabs Cal by his shoulders and kisses him. And Cal — a good husband and new father — likes it. Then… well, then, as one character in the book puts it, “People get laid, babies get made, everybody lies to their kids. Isn’t that the story of the world?” But this story is much more complicated than that. Cal, as mentioned, does not go to war: he stays home with Becky, working in his father-in-law’s hardware store, and they have a baby, Skip. Becky is a spiritualist: she closes off a room in their house and conducts seances for the many people in Bonhomie who would like to know their husbands and sons are surviving the war and will be coming home. Becky doesn’t playact: she waits for a sign or communication and passes on the information she gets when she gets it. Cal cannot wrap his head around this, and eventually this causes a rift in their marriage. Cal moves to the guest room, although they still love each other and share a love for Skip. Felix does go to war, shortly after marrying Margaret, and some of the book’s most harrowing scenes occur aboard the cargo ship that is his home for three years. He writes to Margaret, but only in reporter fashion, giving details of the

page 28

work and the ship. This is mostly due to the identity crisis he finds himself in as he becomes attracted to fellow crewman Augie and begins to understand where his real desires lie. Margaret has her own secret, but hers is of the past: she never tells Felix that she was left in an orphanage when her mother abandoned her, and eventually taken in by her aunt Lydia, or how that has shaped her own identity. 1 of 1

So, one day, Margaret runs into Cal’s hardware store to listen to the radio say that Germany has surrendered to the Allies. She grabs Cal and kisses him. A new attraction is born. And Felix is far from being able to come home. An affair ensues, but when Margaret gets news that Felix is MIA, she cuts it off. Joyfully for Margaret, she gets a call weeks later from Felix. He was injured when his ship was struck by enemy fire and sank, but he is coming home. When she goes to announce the news to Cal, they have one more night – the night before Felix arrives home to resume his marital relationship. So, when Thomas Aquinas is born, there is a new mystery – and a new secret. And off to the races the story goes, because all of this happens in the first ten percent of the novel! The families stay intertwined as Skip and Tom become friends, and the story of these six lives extends all the way through the Vietnam War. Towards the end, philosophical musings provide a window into the meaning of their lives: “Wasn’t it a fair measure of a person, what they did with their mistakes? How they managed to stumble into some of the right steps, after taking all the wrong ones?” And… “This is why old people seem distant and distracted, he thought. We aren’t living in the past, the past is living in us. And it’s talking. We get old to be able to recalibrate everything we thought was going to be important. We get old just to hear it. It says, the days, the days, the days.”
