Fall Festival
Hi Lakewood Friends,
With fall just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about our 3rd Annual Fall Festival!
It's always so much fun! There will be delicious food including a fish fry, games, hayrides, haunted trail, a pumpkin patch, marshmellows to roast, a cozy campfire, and a few added surprises this year! So please join us for a fun family evening!
When: Saturday, October 5
Where: Jerry and Zini's barn (located at the end of Lakewood Drive)
Time: 4-8 p.m.
RSVP...it is important that every family attending let's us know how many will be in your group so we can plan accordingly. Every child gets to pick out a pumpkin and we need to make sure that we have one for each child.
Also, please bring a camp chair for each person in your group!
Lots of families always ask what they can bring. If you would like to bring a side dish to share that would be great! This can be anything like chips, veggies, potato salad, cole slaw, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, etc.
Hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Candy Reno

Water Report
Hello Lakewood Estates Property Owners,
Below is the water testing for Bar Lake and Beaver lake 2024. This is probably difficult for everyone to read and understand including the board. So we will give you a little information on what you should look at. The PDF below are form the health department. For us to break it down a little so everyone can understand. The test is for swimming standards for lake water, bacteria should range from 225 and under We had 6 test done they range from 1-25 which means our water is very clean and safe to swim. So after saying this we hope everyone continues to work on keeping our lake clean.
Thank you,

Boating - No Wake and Idle Speed Rules
Hello Lakewood Estates Property owners,
The board is sending this email out to everyone to explain what a no wake zone is. The board does understand that it is hard to determine what a no wake looks like. Please take the time to pull up the link below and it will explain what the difference is between idle speed and slow speed wake zones. Show this video to your guests or anyone who will be using your equipment. Please pay close attention to the slow speed wake zone because we are a idle speed no wake zone, So you cant make the waves shown in the slow speed.
The board just wants everyone to be conscious when boating in the no wake zone during fast boating and know when fast boating is not allowed the entire lake is ideal speed. Please know that you thinking that you are going as slow as possible is not a good answer. If you cant get your boat or jet ski to run in the the idle speed don't take it into the no wake zones. This email is being sent to help avoid anyone making a mistake, not following the state law. If by chance you cant pull it up give a board member a call to see if we can help in any way. This will also be posted on the web page so it is available all the time.

sponsored by LEPOA. Volunteers also helped us SAVE $32,600 by assisting with mowing, gate repairs,
and general maintenance. THANK YOU!!! Lakewood would not be what it is without our volunteers!
PROPERTY REMINDERS
Please note that if you intend to build, add, or modify a permanent structure or fixture on your
property, it must be approved by the board. This includes cement, pavement, adding an addition, a
fence, a cover, or structure. Seeking board approval is imperative to ensure that property owners do
not overlap on someone else's property line or easement. It is also critical to ensure that any changes
or additions to the property comply with all covenants & guidelines. We encourage you to contact the
board first to avoid having to redo the work or receive a fine.
SEPTIC CHECKS
The next septic check is scheduled for the year 2025. The septic checks are conducted on an odd-year
schedule to ensure that our drinking water remains clean.
VOLUNTEERS
We could use volunteers in many areas. Areas needing volunteers:
• Volunteer to oversee LEPOA architectural committee, this position would look over drawings
sent in by a property owner and make sure the plans meet all the criteria in our covenants, our
rules, and regulations. It would be helpful if this person had a background in construction.
• Volunteer to help with watering flowers in the summertime.
• Volunteer to help with bush cutting.
• Volunteer to help with the yearly water testing.
• Volunteer to help with different events each year.
If you're not involved, we would love to have you volunteer by contacting a board member!
Items Accomplished in 2023:
• Camera at Oakwood gate. This caught a delivery driver damaging the gate and they paid the
$1050 for the gate to be repaired.
• Built two sign shelters in April for Oakwood gate and Fish Hook boat ramp.
• Added stone on white oak trail at all low areas in April.
• Finished Cottonwood Trail at the hill. The road was widened, and drainage ditch was made to

to raise the road to stop it holding water to prevent erosion.
• Stocked fish in Bar Lake this year.
• Replaced the culvert pipe under road at Bar Lake at boat ramp.
• Added rock on the shoreline of Bar Lake boat ramp, to stop road erosion and subsequently

2024. We will then have $9450 saved.
• we would love to tar and chip Cottonwood this year and that might be possible through some
private donations. If anyone would like to donate money towards the front gate or the roads
that would speed up the process to get these items accomplished. Also, a HUGE thank you to
those people that have already given donations.

Hello Lakewood Estates Property owner's,
The yearly information has been sent out today you should receive
this sometime next week. Please read everything in the letter as there is a lot of
important information. All Property owner's need to fill out the information
sheet and send it back to the treasurer. Without the correct information we
cannot keep you updated on what is going on in Lakewood. Even if there are no changes, please fill out the sheet completely.
Please, there are a lot more people using the dumpsters. It is very
important that everyone breaks down their boxes so that they are flat. Please do not fill
the boxes as it takes up too much room. If the POA receives an additional
charge because the lid won't close this cost will be passed on to the owner's
who cause this problem, please read the sign located on the gate of the dumpster.
Thank You

Fall Festival
Our Fall Festival was a huge success! Please see the Community Gallery page for some pictures of the fun.
The weather was perfect with just a little fall crisp in the air.
We had a hayride, pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving and pumpkin painting, haunted trail, bon fire, games, entertainment by Terry Randles along with his friend Mark, and lots of delicious food!
There were about 75 people that attended and it was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet neighbors and form new friendships!
I would like to thank the Board for their support. Without all of their help, this would not have been possible! Special thanks to Jerry and Zini Sturm for offering their barn and property to hold this event. And all of those that pitched in to set up and clean up, thank you!
It definitely took a village to make this event possible and from the bottom of my heart, I thank each and everyone of you!
I hope you ALL had a good time!

Election Time is Nearing!
The current LEPOA Board has asked past board members, Jennifer Ciancio & Marilyn Elrod, to perform election
duties again this year to prevent any election issues.
The term of Kim Cunningham & Lance Holecz will expire this fall.
If you wish to run for either of these three-year terms, please print the attachment here and follow the instructions. As per
the LEPOA by-laws, at least one member of our Board must be a non-resident. There is currently a non-resident
serving on the board, so this position is open to any resident (full-time, part-time, land only, etc.)
Please be aware prior to serving on the board, the positions being vacated will require 2-8 hours of work per week
(Treasurer & Vice-President). The vacancy of Treasurer comes with specific documents to be filed with the IRS and
the duties sometimes can be more than the 8 hours per week. The specific offices are chosen within the board, so
you do not run for an office, just a board position. Please consider the time commitment when deciding if you would
like to serve on the LEPOA board.

Fish Stocking
Hello Lakewood Estates property owners,
We have been asked when we stock the lakes that some owners are interested in having fish delivered for their own personal ponds. If those who are interested contact the board and we will be happy to send you the list of fish and the prices. We might be able to order your fish and possibly reduce your delivery charge. If we are able to order fish for you at the same time you will need to place the order with us and pay for the fish before the order is placed. As we don't know when the fish will be ordered I would advise you to contact us in the next couple weeks. If we order for spring stocking the order needs to be in the next two or three weeks.

The board has received an update on the survey . We talked with the survey company today and they have told us they will have the drawing done and handed into the title company by the end of February 2022. We have not been given an actual date when a meeting will be held with the title company but we are hoping soon. So with that information we are really close to getting this issue resolved and we can put this all behind us if it all goes well. Again, I want to make sure everyone knows that the board can only ask questions and give any information when they ask for it. The board cannot guarantee that this will or will not be approved by the title company.
Thank you ,
LEPOA BOARD

by the board and approved. These will assist you in picking out prints for
your new home. If you are looking for drawings now or are thinking of building
