The Rules and Regulations state that a Candlewick Lake Photo ID Membership Card (Member Card) are required for use of the amenities (pool, golf course, fitness center, gymnasium, and boating and fishing facilities). The rules further state that any Member that is not in good standing shall have their Membership Card privileges suspended until said Member rectifies his/her membership standing. This includes the privileges for all registered Members. The rules do not say that a Member can’t pay the daily fee for use of the amenities. The Board of Directors passed a resolution at the April 21, 2015 Board meeting that any Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House will not be allowed to pay the daily fee to use the amenities if their amenity privileges have been suspended. Additionally, any Owner, Associate Members, Tenant, and any other family members who reside in a House and are not in good standing they will not be permitted to rent any of the Candlewick Lake facilities. ROAD POSTINGS This is just a reminder to all property owners and to inform the new owners that Candlewick Lake posts the roads each year in the late winter/early spring. This is to protect the roads and is determined by weather conditions. When the weather starts getting warmer and stays warm, the postings go into effect. Once the frost is out of the ground the postings are lifted, usually between four to eight weeks. Road postings pertain to all vehicles, which include construction and delivery vehicles. If you are planning on making purchase which will require a delivery, please plan accordingly. Order so that your delivery can be made prior to the road postings or advise the store that deliveries must be made on smaller trucks. Members of the local Red Hat Society went on a cruise this December on Lake Geneva. Vehicles and trailers with tandem axles are not allowed access into Candlewick Lake during the postings. The maximum weight of a vehicle with four tires is 7,000 Denominations of pounds and 18,000 pounds on six tires. EDITORIAL Ask the Candidates Please plan ahead for your anticipated deliveries.
