• If they are not a member, politely ask them to leave as they are trespassing on private property.

• Trash receptacles are located at both Main Beach and Sabey's Beach during summer months only.  As the Association does not have trash pick-up in the off-season, these receptacles are closed after Labor Day weekend.

• Clubhouse dumpsters should also not be used in the off-season, as we don't have regular pick-up during that time.

• Please help to keep our property clean by bringing all trash home with you in the off-season.

• The Guardian Strip is the 20-25 foot strip of land bordering all three of our lakes.
