LAKE IN THE CLOUDS COMMUNITY REPORT
MARCH 2026
Greetings Community members! April is around the corner but can we skip the April showers and go straight to the May flowers?
The March Board meeting was held on March 19th in the Clubhouse.
In attendance were Charlie Schaffer, Pres., Bill Scott, VP, Susan Kirstein, Sec, Al Sicignano. Absent: Erica Buck Joyce Torrey and Joan Griffin, Treas.
Everyone should have received an email with the announcement of being able to use ZELLE for any payments to the LITCPOA. Check our webpage under “about us” for this info. The email is office@lakeintheclouds.org and the recipient is Lake in the Clouds Property Owners Association.
We really would like to have a certified lifeguard for the summer but so far haven’t had any success finding someone. If you know anyone who might be interested please put them in touch with the office.
It has been a rough winter and the Board knows that there are many potholes on our roads. They will be filled as soon as the weather warms up a bit more. Please be patient, this work is done by volunteers.
The Pot of Gold Potluck Supper was well attended! Mark your calendar, the next event is the Spring Fling on April 18th. Come and join the fun!
REMINDERS
Looking ahead, the May General POA meeting is scheduled for May 2nd in the pavilion.
Please clean up after your pets.
Adopt your road. Do a trash pick up if you are able. It would be well appreciated!
20 MPH on all roads in LITC.
Marcel, our resident swan is back. There are also other swans on our lakes from time to time. PLEASE, DO NOT FEED ANY OF THEM. Rest assured, Marcel is well fed and being taken good care of.
The next Board meeting is scheduled for April 16th. 6:00 PM in the Clubhouse.

JANUARY 2026
The January Board meeting was held on January 15, 2026 in the Clubhouse.
In attendance were Charlie Schaffer, Pres., Bill Scott, VP, Joan Griffin, Treas., Susan Kirstein, Sec. Al Sicignano, Erica Buck. Absent: Joyce Torrey
The full treasurer’s report was given by Joan. We ended the year in a good place financially though we got socked by the snow plowing invoice for December! Still good though. Members may contact Joan Griffin if they want more detailed information.
The Lake Ecology meeting is this coming week. We will continue to treat the lakes for those pesky weeds at the same schedule as last year. Reports say it seems to be working pretty well. We will have a fish survey done this year to determine any need for stocking the shiners again.
Thank you to Roe and the Social Committee for hosting Chili Night on the 17th. I believe the next event is Sweetheart Desserts on February 7th. More info will be coming out.
We are looking for a certified lifeguard for the beach. Summer will be here before we know it.
REMINDERS:
ATV drivers-PLEASE do not do donuts on our roads. We get that it is fun BUT It is very tough on those roads and causes repairs to be done sooner than normal. Also, stay on the roads. No driving across the grassy areas of the parks or driving on the beach.
Please obey the speed limit of 20 mph. Panther is doing their best to keep our roads clear and cindered but there may be some icy patches. It is winter in the Poconos.
Please do not park on the side of the roads. This is not allowed at any time of year.
Invoices have been mailed out. The due date for paying 2026 dues is March 31, 2026. Please pay promptly. If you did not receive your invoice contact Diane in the office.

Hello Community members! I believe by now most of us are saying the same thing….DARN THAT GROUNDHOG!!!
The February Board meeting was held on Feb. 19th in the Clubhouse.
In attendance were Charlie Schaffer, Pre., Bill Scott, VP., Susan Kirstein, Sec., and Joyce Torrey. Absent: Erica Buck, Joan Griffin, Treas., Al Sicignano.
The first item for discussion was to implement a way to use credit cards for payments. There have been many requests for this. Our office administrator, Diane, has researched this topic and came to the Board with some suggestions on how to make this happen. More information will be forthcoming.
We are still searching for a certified lifeguard for this summer. If you know of anyone interested please have them contact the office. (570) 676-0900 or email at office@lakeintheclouds.org.

About dogs….There are many dogs in the community and we love them but PLEASE clean up after them. And we know that bears etc. sh..t in the woods but we don’t have control over that but we do have it for our dogs. Oh yes, also keep those fur babies on a leash.
The speed limit is 20 MPH. Please observe.
And lastly, stay warm! Spring is almost here. (Written as I watch the track of yet another weekend snow storm)
