Reminders

Common Elements of the Association may be used by Owners and their guests. This includes lawns, paths, gazebo, beaches, waterfront, mooring areas, etc.
General Rules– 3.9 states: “Any gathering or event that effectively monopolizes a Lakeside amenity or otherwise prevents the fair use of that amenity by other Co-Owners is prohibited without the express prior written approval by the Board of Directors.” Please email Shelly Germain (Board President) with requests before planning get-togethers of more than 6 people.
Dogs must be leashed at all times. This keeps everyone safe, including our furry friends.
If you give permission for family and/or friends to stay in your unit, without your presence, please

provide your guests with copies of the LSC General Rules and Rules for the Amenities. Both can be found on the LSC website. It is suggested that you email Kevin to let him know that you have given permission for others to use your unit in your absence.
