Lake Monticello Golf Course Offers Trial Membership: Mark Marshall, Lake
Monticello’s PGA Professional, has announced a new trial membership with reduced rates

increase play and give working families an opportunity to enjoy the course at member
rates. Find details at www.lakemonticellogolf.org or at the Pro Shop (589-3075).

IT WAS A BLAST! The Independence Day celebration on July 3 was a huge success and loads of fun from the 5-K at 7AM through
the giant fireworks display after dark. Our special thanks to numerous volunteers and LMOA staff, plus the LM Fire & Rescue and
Water Rescue, Water Safety Patrol for their vigilance throughout the event. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all the
participants in competitions and other activities for an exciting day. Look for photos of the day’s activities on cable channel 10 and the
Facebook page for Lake Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA).

LMOA BOARD OF DIRECTORS STATEMENT to Fluvanna Citizen’s Water Committee on alternatives for developing water
infrastructure in the county to meet forecasted needs over the next 40 years:
“The Lake Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA) Board of Directors believes that providing a source of water to the Zion
Crossroads development area is key to the economic growth and expansion of the tax base of Fluvanna County. The LMOA Board
would encourage the County to take an approach that achieves the county goals while minimizing the financial burden on the members
of the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association.
“We do have potential concerns related to where the pipeline might be positioned if installed along Route 600. Specifically our
concerns would be related to disruption of properties of our members and concerns over the possibility of crossing of the pipeline just
below the main dam for Lake Monticello.
“The LMOA Board has not had an opportunity to adequately review the options and would like to have additional information
addressing the routing, safety and economic considerations prior to issuing an opinion on the options currently under consideration.”

AD HOC COMMITTEE ON USE OF CONTRACEPTION to control deer within Lake Monticello will meet on Mon., July 12, at 7PM in
the Faulconer Room to elect a chair and secretary and to talk about the committee’s duties, as described in its charge.

2011 BUDGET PROCESS BEGINS: A budget kickoff meeting, the first work session of the 2011 budget preparation schedule, will be
held on Tues., July 13, at 6PM in the Terrace Game Room. The Board of Directors, Finance and other committees, General Manager
and Staff will discuss general budget expectations, guidelines, etc. Members are welcome to attend. Time will be allotted for member
comments of 5 minutes per member on the 2011 budget. Sign up required before the call to order.
BOARD/COMMITTEE CHAIRS WORK SESSION will be held on Mon., July 19, at 7PM in the Terrace Room. The purpose of the
meeting is for Directors and Committee chairs to discuss current committee activities and the status of projects. All committee chairs
are urged to attend or to designate representatives. Members are welcome to attend. Time will be allotted for member comments on
the agenda topic before the discussion begins.

PETS MUST NOT RUN AT LARGE: LMOA Policy requires that pets must be on a leash at all times when
off the owner’s property. Please be considerate of your neighbors and your pets by following this policy.

SCOOP THAT POOP! It’s amazing that dog and cat owners continue to allow their pets to respond to nature’s call anywhere they
choose and still leave it lying where it fell. Just this week, within a two-block area, your editor observed three otherwise considerate dog
owners simply watching as their animals did their business on the right away in front of a home then casually walking away without a
second glance or any attempt to remove the droppings. Please respect the policy that requires you to clean up after your pet, and
respect your neighbors who must either clean it up themselves or live with the mess left behind.

A SMALL EFFORT RESULTS IN LARGE BENEFITS: If every person who uses one of Lake Monticello’s five beaches or enjoys time
on the lake simply removes their own trash, our lake would be healthier and more beautiful. Recently, members of the U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary (Flotilla 88) here at the Lake completed a thorough litter and debris clean up at all five beaches. LMOA very much
appreciates the once-a-year activity performed by a group of dedicated volunteers. But our lake needs attention every day from those
who use it and those who live along it. Our lake may seem invincible, but it depends on all of us to protect it. Let’s all pitch in to keep it
clean and healthy.

BINGO SUPPORTS OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE SQUADS: Support the Lake Monticello Fire & Rescue Squads by playing Bingo
on Thursday evenings, with $1,000 jackpot and new games. All proceeds support the local budget and enable our volunteers to
respond to life and property threatening emergencies right here in our community. Doors open at 5:30PM; Early Birds begin 6:45.
Questions? Call 591-1018.

LAKE SWIMMING RESTRICTIONS: There are five beaches around the lake for swimmers and sun bathers to enjoy. Because we
share the lake with boaters, skiers and fishermen, there are safety rules that apply throughout the lake. Please comply with these
swimming restrictions for the safety and enjoyment of all who use the lake:
¾ Swimmers at any of the beaches must remain within the roped off areas.
¾ Lakefront owners and their guests are permitted to swim in the main lake and its coves within 50 feet of their own shoreline.
¾ Swimming across coves or across the lake is not permitted except as authorized by the General Manager.
¾ Swimming and use of any raft, inner tube, air mattress or other floatation device is not permitted in the normal traffic flow pattern in
the coves or the main body of the lake.
¾ Swimming is not permitted:
• from boats or other watercraft in the lake
• within the Marina dock or launch area or within the Marina area marked with buoys
• from the dam
• in the vicinity of the spillway
• in the Tufton/Fishing Lake or any pond on the Golf Course

FISHING PIER FUNDRAISING UPDATE, as of June 29: Bo’s Pier Group reports that $19,151 has been raised for construction of
the community fishing pier. That’s 77% of the estimated $25,000 required. Still more is needed to begin this community project. Send
your donations of any size to Bo’s Pier Group, 265 Turkeysag Trail, Suite 102, #130, Palmyra, VA 22963. Make checks payable to

BOAT REGISTRATIONS BEING CHECKED: All watercraft using the lake must be registered and display a current sticker. LMOA
Staff will be checking for current stickers. Avoid penalties by paying your registration at the Marina.

CANOE STORAGE FEES ARE DUE: If you are storing your canoe at the Marina, please pay at the Marina. Also, canoes, like all
water craft, must be registered before being used in the lake.
LAKE SAFETY REMINDER: The Lake Preservation Committee reminds residents that contamination of the lake can occur at any
time after heavy rains. Please protect your own health – avoid lake water contact for 24 to 48 hours after heavy rain or until any posted
restrictions have been lifted. Check for alerts at the beaches and the LMOA information resources on cable TV channels 10 (977) and
14 (978) and the LMOA website at www.lmoa.org.

TO BAG OR NOT TO BAG TRASH: Place all household trash into the trash cart. It is not necessary to bag it, but you may bag
garbage for sanitation purposes or to reduce contamination of recyclables. All bags used will be opened. Items that can be recycled
