REMINDER
Keep our parks safe for our children. Please report any vandalism to any Board member. For safety and insurance purposes, tackle football is not allowed on park property. ANY rough playing will be done at your own risk. All parks close at dusk and please remember to take your trash home with you.
All Parks Close at Dusk
SELLING YOUR PROPERTY?
If you are selling your property one of the things you’ll need at closing is a letter stating whether your dues are current or not. Your letter will indicate the status of your dues at the time of closing. Please contact Virginia Shanholtz (815-653-6661) or Sue Keller (815-653-9450) at least two weeks prior to your closing date.
A little known fact…..the association dues, assessed on your property, are as collectible as your real estate taxes.
OTHER RECORDED PROPERTY CHANGES
If you’ve combined your lots into one PIN number please let us know by mail (PO Box 4, Wonder Lake, IL 60097), by email, or by calling Virginia or Sue. Our recordkeeping is only as good as the information we receive. Your correct PIN number will be on your tax bill.
Combining your lots will not affect, or change, your association dues. Your dues are based on the number of lots you own.
When we communicate by email we save a lot of money on stamps, printing and paper (trees). If you’re interested in signing up for email newsletters, dues invoices, or other communications please include your email address with your dues payment. Pinch a penny, save a dime.
Please update your mailing address, P.O. Box and phone numbers as well.
COMMUNITY HOUSE RENTALS
After several seasons of repair and remodeling our community house is, once again, available to rent at a nominal cost. Try us for your varied events……baby showers, wedding showers, family gatherings, garage sales, etc.
LEAF AND LANDSCAPE BURNING QUESTIONS
Q: Does the Open Burning Ordinance allow the burning of garbage, rubbish or trash?
A: Burning of garbage, rubbish or trash is prohibited throughout all of McHenry County.
Q: What are some of the restrictions included in the Ordinance?
A: All landscape waste must be generated onsite.
No burning may take place within 100 feet of a habitable structure or within 50 feet of a non-habitable structure. Supervised burning of dry landscape waste may be conducted between dawn and dusk on Saturday or Sunday during the months of April, May, October and November.
Water, or a fire control, source is required; winds must be less than 10 mph and smoke may not create a visibility hazard.

Q: Do the open burning setback requirements apply to domestic fireplaces, external fireplaces or grills, or self-contained outdoor wood-burning devices?
A: No. Provided these units are operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and are not used to dispose of leaves, grass, shrubbery clippings, cuttings, garbage, rubbish or trash.
