  Show your support for the club house and club and come join us for spring yard and landscaping maintenance and Adopt-A-Road Clean-up We will be weeding, trimming, and cutting the grass around the club house. Our last work party  had only 3 people so, please join us in keeping YOUR clubhouse looking good! Those who would rather clean up our roads around the lake can take part in the spring clean up of SE 288th St and 216th Ave SE. You can even take part in both and  really show your support and concern for our neighborhood.

  We’re going to start the Lake Sawyer Social Season early this year with our first NON-DOCK Party on Sunday, April 16 at the Community Club.  Come and celebrate with us that:
A) Your taxes are done.
B) Your refund is here. (yea, right!)
C) Your extension means you don’t have to worry…. For awhile.
D) Someone else in your family is handling taxes this year!

All Lake Sawyer residents are welcome.  If your last name starts with A-K, please bring dessert.  If your last name starts with L-Z, please bring salad.  If your last name starts with A-Z, please bring chocolate.  (kidding, just kidding)
Note: This is a perfect opportunity to use your clubhouse!

  As of this time we have ONLY 15% of the lake residents who are members of the LSCC. This newsletter is sent to all residents in hopes it is a friendly  reminder of the opportunity  to support our community club. For only $20.00 dues, membership provides reduced rental fees for the club house, the 4th of July celebration, the Santa Boat and other activities throughout the year. 

  As of the mailing of this newsletter, we do not have anyone to manage the Clubhouse. The job entails taking rental reservations, collecting money, checking for damage, etc. For more details please contact a board member. We are only as successful as the combined efforts of our membership!

  Dock numbers should become a reality sometime this spring. The Black Diamond Police are in process of obtaining the numbers, which will then be installed by a group of volunteers later this spring.
 as it sets forth for events that support the goals and objectives of the club. Anyone requesting such consideration shall submit application to the board, in writing, for such consideration at least 30 calendar days prior to event.

  One of the tasks facing the Board this year is the future of the Clubhouse. We have spent a considerable part of our regular meetings discussing how to increase the use of the Clubhouse and how to increase the revenues generated by the Clubhouse to insure that it is properly maintained for the future. The Non-dock party, the work party, and the new rental policy are examples of these efforts. But the bottom line is that the Board can not be the only ones who care about or use the Clubhouse! Please take the time to join us and help demonstrate that we, the members still want to retain the Clubhouse. Buildings do not maintain themselves, so please help! 

In an effort to generate sufficient funds to maintain the club house, a new rental policy has been put into effect.
