4th of JULY: Just a reminder that it is ILLEGAL to discharge fireworks inside of the Lake Summerset Association. Only persons with a pyrotechnic license and a signed form by Fire Chief, and LSA Manager to use fireworks are allowed. If you illegally discharge fireworks you are putting the members, guests, at risk of injury and the possibility of starting a residence on fire. Anyone caught discharging fireworks will be given a citation.

FAMILYFEST: July 17th will be the Lake Summerset Familyfest celebration. Security wants everyone to be safe and enjoy this day. Below are several road and lake closures to make this event safer:

• The Lake Summerset LAKE will be CLOSED to all boat traffic from South Gate Marina east to the DAM. This will ensure the safety of Team Twangle Jet Ski Show while they entertain you. The actual show will start at 3:30pm until 5pm.
• Pier Drive behind the Dam will be closed at 9pm until fireworks display is over. This must be closed per State Law.

DRIVING & CELL PHONES: Recently I had a walker tell me that she was walking along the road and a car with a person on a cell phone almost hit her. The person in the vehicle was not paying attention to driving. This walker said that has happened to her twice. So, please drivers if you are on your cell phone pull over to the side of the road. This way you will not endanger any walkers in Lake Summerset.

AUTOMATIC CARD GATES: A reminder that if you are using the automatic card gates YOU cannot use these gates if you do not have a current LSA decal. You cannot use these gates pulling a trailer, boat etc. Guests cannot use these gates, even if a member is in the car with them. There are signs posted at all entrances and exits of the automatic card gates with restrictions on usage

REDBOOK: Whether you are new to Lake Summerset or have been here for a while, please take the time to read the Lake Summerset Association Rules and Regulations REDBOOK. Security enforces the rules that are in this book. If you do not have a Redbook, they are available at the LSA Office or the Main Gate.

THEFTS: In May we had 3 thefts from unlocked vehicles. Taken from 2 residents’ vehicles on Baintree were stereo system and gps systems. Taken from Hillsdown resident was an LSA Gate card. In June we had 1 theft from vehicle on Hillsdown, taken was a cell phone and gps system. If anyone has any information regarding these thefts, please report it to the Winnebago County Sheriff 815-286-2600.

Preventive measures for Thefts from Vehicles/Boats:

• Make sure you take out of your vehicle/boat anything of value
• If you must leave items in car or boat make sure your lot number is on them and they are hidden from view.
• Keep your vehicles locked.
