POA Notes Time for clubs to submit status It’s time for club presidents to submit verification their clubs are meeting the requirements to be a sanctioned club in Canyon Lake. All sanctioned clubs must meet the community service and residency standards as set forth in the rules. In an effort to maintain current records, each club president is required to forward the name, address and phone numbers of club officers, current membership and residency location, as well as community service verification to the Canyon Lake Activities Department. In addition, clubs should reserve facilities they will need for events in 2010. Reservations should be made no later than March 31, because reservations will be accepted for private events beginning April 1. The Fiesta Day Committee is looking for additional members who are interested in helping put together the biggest event of the year in Canyon Lake. The group will be having its first meeting in January. Those interested in lending a hand should call Kathie Barnes in the Activities Department at 246-1761. This is going to be a wonderful, activity-driven year filled with many fun events. Come out and be a part of your community.

According to access control rule 3.205, “the Prime Member is responsible for the actions of his/her family, guests, renters and lessees and for any charges, fines or other liabilities incurred by them.” Booking amenities Canyon Lakers interested in hosting a party for the holidays or other special occasion should consider using the Lodge, Country Club, Blue Bird Hall, Towne Center Conference Room or Magnolia Room. More information about these rooms can be found on the “Amenities and Activities” link at www.canyonlake poa.com. Some of the parks also have facilities that can be reserved.

Rent a dock There are openings at the marina at the Lodge. The annual fee is prorated. To reserve a dock now, call the Accounting Department at 244-6841, ext. 234. Fishing permits The Member Services Department has made it easier for guests of residents to get fishing permits in Canyon Lake. According to Lynn Jensen, manager of the department, as long as a guest has a copy of his or her California fishing license on file with the POA, the prime or associate member can pick up the permit in advance of the guest’s arrival. Nuisance rule The POA is enforcing the nuisance rules as they relate to loud and offensive music on the Lake and other POA common facilities. “Use of offensive language” in a common area is one of the prohibited activities under Rule 13 of Section II, General Rules. Playing such offensive language in recorded music at a POA common area, park or on the Lake is a “use” of that language that qualifies as a nuisance, according to the Board and is subject to citation under the rules. POA ID cards Member Services is issuing new POA ID cards as needed as members come into the office. All cards will now have an expiration date, according to Member Services Manager Lynn Jensen. Prime and Associate Members’ cards will expire every four years. Children Associate Members’ cards will expire every four years or when someone turns 21, whichever occurs first. Sub-Associate/Resident Member cards will expire every year from when the membership is issued/renewed. Spelling, please Canyon Lakers should be prepared to spell the last and first names of their guests when they call them in to the POA. According to Member Services, even if a person’s name is one letter off, it could mean he or she will not come up on the computer at the gate. Appealing? Those waiting to appear before the Appeals Committee are reminded that they will be notified by mail as to the date they are to attend their hearing. Some people have been showing up at committee meetings not realizing that their cases will not be heard until they receive a notice in the mail, according to Member Services. In addition, to be heard by the Appeals Committee, the Prime Member or another person on the property’s title must appear. If a guest or renter wants to appear, he or she may do so, but must be accompanied by the property owner as well. Sign-in for Appeals Hearings take place at 5 p.m. for hearings that will begin at 5:30. POA gift card The POA is offering gift cards that can be used at the Country Club and Lighthouse Restaurant, as well as for services and activities provided by the POA. Gift cards are available in increments of $5 and up and can be purchased at the Member Services Counter.
