Dear Members and Residents of Lake Wynonah,
Just a few reminders for this Holiday Weekend!
1. All events are for Members, Residents of Lake Wynonah and Guests of Lake Wynonah only!
1. Please make sure you have your gate card available. This is VERY IMPORTANT to help reduce the Guest Line at the Security Shack.
1. The dumpster right past the office are only for Part-Time Members who signed up and paid for PART-TIME trash. It is for 2 kitchen size trash bags a week. ABSOLUTELY no yard waste, construction debris, boxes, etc. Remember to smile because you are on camera!
1. The trash can's at all of the boat docks, marina, pool and all other locations are for small trash such as water bottles, snack bags, tissues, etc. They are not for your own personal household trash. PLEASE DO NOT PUT FISH IN THE CANS! This creates a mess with maggots and not to mention the smell.
1. The Marina will be open this weekend! The days and hours are Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 10 AM to 6 PM. CREDIT CARD ONLY!!!!
1. The pool is open from 12 to 8 everyday. Candy, Chips, Popsicles and Drinks are now available for purchase.

REMINDER OF SAFETY ON THE LAKE
1. Drive in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE circle around the lake at all times.
1. Speed limit is 40 mph. After dusk, & before dawn; please reduce speed to 15 mph or less & use navigational lights.
1. Docking lights are not headlights and should not be used while traveling at night as they reduce night vision of other boaters.
1. Respect the "No Wake" areas by traveling at no wake speed in coves and when within 100 ft from the shore on the main body of the lake. Slow No Wake zones (100 feet from shoreline or inside the buoys) are for slow boating only, always watch for swimmers & non-power boats.
1. Your watercrafts need to be registered with the PA Fish & Game Commission and have current Lake Wynonah launch permit/sticker.
1. Spotters are needed for towing anything (skiers, tubers, wakeboarders & other boats, etc.). According to the PA Fish & Boat Commission, a competent spotter has the ability to assess if the person in the water is in trouble and is capable of helping a person in the water. Use your best judgement as generally there are age limitations, this is often no one under 12.
1. Use orange flags when towing anything behind the boat.
1. Boating safety course cards are required on board FOR ALL DRIVERS.
1. Be courteous & respectful of other sports on the water. Avoid their space when able to do so safely.
1. When towable (skiers, tubers, etc.) are behind your boat, use mirrors if applicable, protect them at all times, & look behind you when turning the boat around.
1. Before your guests use your watercraft, discuss the boating procedures for Lake Wynonah and make sure your guests have their Boater Safety Course cards on hand.
1. For the safety of all persons on the water, please be mindful of the weekend & holiday rule stating that members are limited to having no more than 2 motorized watercraft on the water at the same time.
Please be courteous of our Military and Veterans with PTSD when you are using fireworks. Some of our fluffy friends get really scared as well. Again, please keep them in mind. They will really appreciate it!
Have a fun and safe 4th of July!

A Message from the Lake Wynonah Lifeguard Team
Private Swim Lessons available from the Lake Wynonah Lifeguards. July dates are still open.
Half hour and hour long sessions available. Interested, contact the Business Office or the lifeguards for more information.
The Pergolas were built approximately 10 years ago. They were rotting so they were removed for safety reasons. There are preliminary plans to replace them to include the inclusion of volunteers. The Board does not see the pergolas as unimportant. Stay tuned for future information on the replacement of the pergolas and please encourage anyone interested in donating time or materials to the office.
We currently have 11 umbrellas. We are purchasing 3 more. One for a completed set of 12 and 2 for backups. Stands are on order. If a resident would like to donate umbrellas, we would certainly encourage them to reach out to the office.
The application for the dam committee is attached. It can also be obtained at the Business Office.
I first want to thank everyone who welcomed me to Lake Wynonah! I am very excited to be here and to serve everyone at Lake Wynonah.
Secondly, I need to ask that you give me time to understand all things Lake Wynonah. I respect everyone and everyone's thoughts and ideas.
Communication is #1 on my list that I am working on. But again, I need everyone to understand that this will take some time.
The Pergolas were built by volunteers approximately 10 years ago from untreated lumber. They were rotting so they were removed for safety reasons. There are preliminary plans to replace them to include the inclusion of volunteers. The Board does not see the pergolas as unimportant but does need to prioritize spending within the limits of the budget and reserve study. Stay tuned for future information on the replacement of the pergolas and please encourage anyone interested in donating time or materials directly to me.
We currently have 11 umbrellas. We are purchasing 3 more. 1 for a completed set of 12 and 2 for backups. Stands are on order. If a resident would like to donate umbrellas, we would certainly encourage them to reach out to the office.
