This new parking facility is targeted to be completed by the end of June.

Members Say Yes to Mountaintop Lodge By a vote of 1796 in favor and 335 not in favor, Club Members indicated their desire in the recent balloting for the Club to acquire the Mountaintop Lodge property on Route 940, immediately adjacent to Lake Naomi Properties on Split Rock Lane and Foxglove Place. While the Members have spoken, the Club is still waiting for the Bank to speak. The Bank is reevaluating their position in order to support selling the property to the Club at a price that will permit the Club to acquire and reopen the Mountaintop Lodge at a cost not to exceed $695,000. The Club has done everything it can and is prepared to close on this purchase just as soon as the Bank completes its reevaluation process and provides the green light to the Club. Stay tuned, the Club will let Members know just as soon as the Bank makes a decision.

Clubhouse Reservations and Member IDs

Dining at the LNCH has grown in popularity this past year and will continue to do so throughout the season. This is attributed to the great job the Clubhouse Staff is doing both in the kitchen and in the dining areas. With this in mind, please be advised to make your reservations early so that you receive the desired time. Also understand that only a certain number of reservations can be taken for each time slot so there may be occasions when your preferred time is unavailable. The Club does not take reservations for the Grillroom or the Outdoor Deck, and there is frequently a waiting list for these areas. Also remember that there is a dress code in the Clubhouse; Members are encouraged to refer to page 36 of the 2011 Leisure Service Guide for additional guidelines.

Night Recreation is an opportunity for young Members and guests going into the third grade and above to come to the Community Center to meet friends and have fun participating in staff supervised activities. This summer there will be some changes to Night Recreation Program. Instead of signing into a program, participants will be free to come and go as they please. The Shuttle Bus (Red Route) will run every hour and can pick up or drop off the participants. Recreation staff will be on hand for a variety of games and activities. Night Recreation will be held every week Monday through Friday from June 27th through August 26th. The game room, multi-purpose room, mezzanine area, outdoor SDYLOLRQ RXWGRRU ÂżHOGV DQG VRPH DFWLYLW\ URRPV ZLOO EH DYDLODEOH IRU SDUWLFLSDQWV :H have had a few questions about this change of programs: Q: Will my child be unsupervised? A: The Recreation staff will supervise the building to maintain activities and keep it a safe place to hang out but it will be up to you and your child to decide the limits you want to place on them. Your child may leave the building or arrive at the building at anytime. Make sure they know your expectations as to when they have to go home, who they can leave with, and what you feel is acceptable behavior. Q: How will you keep activities age appropriate? A: Each night activities will be offered, some will be for all ages and some will be limited to certain age groups to allow the kids to be age appropriate and do activities with their own age groups. Q: Will my child just be dropped off by the bus at anytime? A: The Night Recreation Bus will begin its rounds following the red route schedule at 5:00 PM and will continue to drive that route until the last one leaves the Community Center at 10:00 PM. You can check the schedule in the Summer Calendar to see the approximate time the bus will be at your stop. We will do our best to stay on schedule with the exception of the last run when we only stop at the locations we have participants to drop off (so it runs a little faster). Counselors will be on the bus to assist the children to make sure they get off at the correct stop and to follow the parents’ wishes. Once again it will require that parents communicate with your children so they know if they are supposed to call before they get on the bus, can walk home alone, or get off the bus at “Johnny’s houseâ€?. If you have questions or concerns over the Night Recreation Program please contact Tim Brooks by phone at (570) 646-8585 or by email at tbrooks@lakenaomiclub.com.

Swim Team Coaching Staff

This summer we are excited to welcome back Jenn Kasper who will be working her 13th season coaching the team as well as being back in the role of swim team director. Along with her experience of coming up as swimmer in the program she is an elementary school counselor in the Pocono Mountain School District and brings many years experience coaching swimming, soccer and softball for the district to the LNC Swim Team. We are also thrilled to have Lauren Travis joining us for her eleventh year working with the swim team. She will be the 11 & 12 year old coach as well as the head coach. Growing up swimming on the LNC Swim Team was a great experience for Lauren and she loves sharing it with the next generation. She was a swimmer in college and is currently a Pocono Mountain Swim Team coach while teaching Social Studies in the Pleasant Valley school district. Lauren’s presence with us once again is an added bonus we could not be more grateful for. Nick Pirrocco is back for his third year as the 9 & 10 year old coach. Over the winter Nick attended Northampton Community College and was a vital member to our Community Center staff and an assistant coach with Pocono Mountain East where he was a member of the Varsity Swim Team for four years. In addition to loving swimming Nick’s ultimate goal is to be a coach throughout his life. We are very fortunate to have his enthusiasm to help guide our swimmers. Ian Walsh will once again be coaching the 13 & up swimmers and comes to us with extensive swimming background. He has been a four year swimmer on the Duquesne Boys Swim Team, attending nationals multiple times. Ian currently attends Bloomsburg University obtaining his Master’s degree in Business. Ian’s expertise is one that we are lucky to continue to have on staff and we are happy to see him return. Rounding off our summer 2011 staff is Brandon Walsh. Brandon comes to us with not only swimming experience but as a well-rounded athlete who enjoys competiveness on all levels while still having fun. Brandon is currently attending West Chester University majoring in health and physical education. Brandon is really looking forward to working with the 8 & under group this year and will strive to have them improve their stroke while having fun. All the coaches can’t wait to meet everyone interested in swim team at the welcome meeting on Monday, June 27th at 9 AM at the Lake Naomi Pool. Until then if you have any questions you may inquire with Meredith Sensenig at the Community Center by calling 570-646-8585 or email msensenig@lakenaomiclub.com.

LNC’s Super Seniors

We all know our Club has some great tennis players, some of which play competitively with the USTA. One such league player is LNC Member Anita Scarperia who plays for the Middlestates “Pocono Ladies� Super Senior team. In April she and her 7 team mates traveled to Arizona to attended the 2010 National Championships. After competing against 13 teams at the same level from all over the USA, the team returned with a THIRD place in the nation win. The team worked hard to achieve this accomplishment and strive to go to Nationals again next year. Congratulations ladies! Additionally the Lake Naomi Club is starting a USTA Men’s Super Senior 7.0 team to compete against the only other team in our league, Pinecrest. Matches will be played Sunday afternoon in July & August. The Super Senior league offers both a women’s and men’s league for players who are 60 years of age and older. The team format is three doubles positions and the levels of play are 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. Partners combined ratings may not exceed the level in which they are playing. Teams winning their local leagues are eligible to play at the Sectional Championship. Teams qualify for the Super Senior national championship during the fall of the championship year and compete for the national title the following spring. Players must have a current USTA membership as well as current computer or self-rating. We will set a date when additions to the roster will close. For example, the Adult season will start May 1st, but teams can add to their rosters until July 1st. You have to have six players registered before the USTA will make up the schedule. Contact team captain Lew Rarig at 570-643-0287 if you are interested in playing.

Dog And Pet Responsibility

Lake Naomi Rules and Regulations and Pennsylvania State Laws require that all pets be on their owner’s property or under the control of their owners at all times. Timber Trails has made that language even stronger by adding that all pets must be on a leash no longer than eight feet while on community property. Under no circumstances are pets permitted to run at large. In addition, it is requested that barking dogs be kept inside at all times. Pets are not permitted at any of the Lake Naomi-Timber Trails Recreation Facilities including the beaches. The one exception is the Dog Park located at the entrance to the Community Center. Please be a responsible pet owner and be considerate of your neighbors and fellow Club Members and clean up after your pet. This will assure a pleasant experience for Members and their beloved pets as well.

Storm Policy It is the policy of the Lake Naomi Club to “temporarilyâ€? close outdoor recreational areas and the LSCC Indoor Aquatic Areas during severe storm conditions. The standard that is followed is to keep cleared for a minLPXP RI ÂżIWHHQ PLQXWHV DIWHU WKXQGHU is last heard and thirty minutes after lightning is last spotted. Please respect the facility supervisors who are looking out for your best interest. They will ask you to clear the tennis courts, golf course, pool decks and beaches for your safety. Lightning has struck the LN-TT facilities in the past and all precautions are taken to avoid life threatening conditions.

Beaches When visiting any of the seven beaches, Members and Guests are reminded they must carry their Membership badges to assist in ensuring that only Club Members and their Guests are utilizing Club facilities. Members must sign-in at the lifeguard stand upon arrival and present badges to Lifeguards and Rangers as they check beaches for Membership badges. Also, please remember the NO SMOKING and NO GLASS policy for all Club beaches. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

LNC Lanyards – Caution Advised Members have received the LNC Lanyards and been very proud to wear them. A word of caution is needed for younger Club Members. Accidents have occurred with this type of lanyard on children because as they are playing the lanyard can become tangled in playground equipment, railings and even door jams. The Club certainly does not want to see any accidents occur and would advise that the LNC lanyards be worn by adults only. Active adults should also be aware that a potential accident could occur and remove the lanyard or tuck it into their shirt before they begin an activity. If you are an adult and would like to receive a LNC lanyard, next time \RX DUH LQ WKH $GPLQLVWUDWLYH 2I¿FH or at the Community Center be sure to pick one up. 11

Contractor Warning Past experience has shown that when the country is in a down economy, it tends to bring out a lot of new Contractors. Many, unfortunately, have little or no business experience and often do not have the proper amount of liability, vehicle and workers compensation insurance, if they have any insurance at all. While many of these individuals are well intentioned, having a pickup truck, some magnetic signs and the desire to be a Contractor does not make one a Contractor. If someone is hurt on your property, including the Contractor, and they do not have insurance, the liability generally falls back on the Property Owner. It is highly recommended that before you hire any Contractor to work on your property, be sure to determine if they have previously done work in Lake Naomi – Timber Trails, require proof of liability, vehicle and workers compensation insurance and check their references.

Lake Naomi Club Q & A Why is the Contractor for the new parking facility permitted to work before and after the “contractor hoursâ€? set by the Club and the Associations? The Club amenities are not subject to the residential deed restrictions and thus the architectural regulations. It is a case of something WKDW EHQHÂżWV &OXE 0HPEHUV LQ PDVV YHUVXV D SURMHFW WKDW EHQHÂżWV D single Club/Community Member. Thus the Club is not subject to the contractor hour limitations. Otherwise the Club would not be able to service the various facilities and have the facilities ready for Member use. Does the Club attempt to abide by the architectural regulations and contractor hours? Yes, whenever it is practical. However with the new parking facility for Club Beach and the Lake Naomi Clubhouse there was a very tight time frame assigned to the project. In an attempt to make the deadline, the Club agreed to some long work days and to having the Contractor work on one Sunday during the duration of the project. What contractors handled the Boat House CafĂŠ, Boat House Patio and Duster Bar projects? The Club is proud to report that the vast majority of the work on the Boat House CafĂŠ was handled by the Club’s In-House Maintenance Team. The Boat House Patio was constructed by Mountain Landscaping and the Duster Bar was constructed by Martin’s Homes. All projects were supervised by the Club’s Project Manager Scott Hall. Why does the Duster Bar have two roofs? Rather than have a hodge-podge of buildings, the Architect recommended having a combined structure for the grill and bar areas. Because portions of the building were on two different levels, it was necessary to scale down the roof of a portion of the structure in order to accommodate the roll down shutters and make it look like a beach bar. The cedar shake roof accomplished that goal. I am a Basic Member. Why can’t I use the Community Center Pool in July and August? The reasoning for the pool “blackout periodâ€? being announced right from the start of the discussion regarding the proposed ComPXQLW\ &HQWHU ZDV EDVHG RQ IDLUQHVV DQG ÂżQDQFLDO YLDELOLW\ :KLOH Basic Members pay the Capital Assessment for the Community Center which provides the right for them to utilize the Community Center for all of the year and the indoor pool at the Community Center for all but the 73 days prior to Labor Day, Basic Members are not paying the operating costs of the Community Center Pool during the blackout period. Those costs are paid by only those Members subscribing to the pool membership. I have seen motor boats on Lake Naomi. I thought they weren’t permitted? The Club owns four Boston Whaler Patrol Boats. At the height of the boating season, a maximum of three of the Safety Boats are in use. These are the only gasoline powered motor boats permitted on Lake Naomi. What are the pontoon boats I have seen on Lake Naomi? The Club owns two pontoon boats. One is moored off of Club Beach and utilized by the Sailing Committee to organize and direct the sailing races. This pontoon boat is also utilized by Club Team Members to assist with the sailing instruction program. The second Club owned pontoon boat is stored at the Floating Marina ORFDWHG DW WKH $GPLQLVWUDWLYH 2IÂżFH DQG LV SRZHUHG E\ DQ HOHFWULF PRWRU ,W LV XWLOL]HG E\ WKH /DNHV &RPPLWWHH IRU WKHLU ÂżVKLQJ LQVWUXFWLRQDO SURJUDP DV ZHOO DV IRU WKH SODFHPHQW RI ÂżVK KDELWDW LQ WKH /DNH Are hitching posts still available at any of the Club marinas?
