As I am writing this, I am cautiously watching our marina slowly drift away from the shoreline, as Lake Wallenpaupack once again rises rapidly due to another heavy rainfall. However, by the time you are reading this, our marina will be empty, with the docks stacked until next year.

While our community has been punished by the same storms and excessive rainfall that are wreaking havoc on our shoreline, our roads and community property have held up exceptionally well. This is in large part thanks to the preparedness and vigilance of our public works crews, committee chairs, and community management.

Our Board has also been working toward improving the community. You may have noticed the gate arms at the beach entrance and exit, which are part of the Board’s efforts to better secure our beach and marina resources from vandalism and illegal use. The gates will not be put into service until all property owners in good standing receive fobs to activate the entry gate. We do not yet have a definitive timeline for distributing the fobs, But the board will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.

As much as we hoped we were past the worst of the pandemic, COVID-19 is still taking a toll on our daily life. We are once again being asked to wear masks in many public indoor settings, including our own community facilities. We respectfully request that you abide by the recommended mask guidelines for the health and safety of all the members of our community.

Finally, it is the time of year when Board elections take place. Please keep an eye out for the official ballot. Election results will be announced at the October general membership meeting. Let’s hope fall is much kinder to us than this past summer.
