LAKE DRAW DOWN
Due to a planned major dredging project in November/December, the lake lowering will begin immediately following the Labor Day holiday. ALL boat owners will need to remove their boats following Labor Day. To successfully draw down the lake to the levels needed for conditions necessary for dredging requires us to begin the draw down earlier than usual. Any change in the schedule will be posted on this web site.
FAMILY NIGHT AND GAME NIGHT
The UGLPOA Board of Trustees, as requested in your response to our Lake Survey, would like to utilize the Clubhouse for more Community activities. The UGLPOA Activities Committee will, therefore, begin on April 24, 2009 holding two new activities at the Club House for everyone in our community; Family Night and Game Night.
Family Night will start at 6pm and finish at 8pm. It will feature games and activities for everyone in the family, kids and adults, to foster family values and family spirit. Family Nights will be held on the first and third Friday of each month, starting May 1st, providing we have no rentals scheduled. Please bring your favorite snacks and drinks and games.
Game Night will start at 8pm and finish at 11pm. It will be for "adults" only and be held on the second and fourth Friday of each month, starting on April 24th, providing we have no rentals scheduled. Please bring your favorite snacks and drinks as well as your favorite board or card game. Groups (you and your friends) are welcomed.
There will be no cost to UGL members. Please remember to bring games, cards etc. We will supply paper and pencils to keep scores if necessary. Some volunteers will be needed to help set up and clean up for each night. Please call Lisa at 973-853-4262 if you wish to assist. We hope you all have fun and attend this sponsored activity on a regular basis.

HELP NEEDED WITH ACTIVITIES
You may have noticed several activities have been canceled this year. Some are due to poor ticket sales but others are due to a lack of help to run the specific activity. The Activity Committee needs help. If you can volunteer to run or assist running any activity, please contact Craig Hornyak at 973-853-4262.
SWIMMING IN THE LAKE
Swimmers have been observed swimming across the main channel of the lake and across some coves. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. Boaters in PWC's and other fast vessels may not be able to see a swimmer, especially small children. Swimming in high traffic areas such as across the main channel, around the bend across from the beach area, and across most coves should not be attempted, especially in the morning hours or at dusk. Please refrain from this activity and be alert as to where your child is swimming.
In addition, boaters must be on the lookout for swimmers and to be aware of other lake users so they can take appropriate precautions. It is common courtesy to slow down and leave a safe distance between other boats, especially non powered water craft and swimmers.
Safety for our members is our first concern.

UNLAWFUL BOATING and ICE SPORTS ACTIVITIES
Many UGL members are frustrated by other boaters and ice sports individuals not obeying NJ state boating and lake laws. Our UGL Security Patrol can only ask boater's and Ice sports individuals to conform to the law. They have no authority to issue a ticket. This can only be done by the local, county and state police agency.
As a private citizen, you can and should call the NJ Marine Police and file a complaint. It would be helpful to have the boat's or Sports vehicle's NJ identification numbers if at all possible.
The number for the NJ Marine Police at the Lake Hopatcong Station is (973)663-3400.

West Milford Police can also be contacted at 973-728-2802, however, they will not be able to go on the lake because they are not equipped to do so.
The Passaic County Sheriff's Office, which patrols our lake normally on weekends during the summer and winter, can also be contacted at 973-881-4200 or 973-389-5900.
It is everyone's job to keep our lake safe and stop unlawful boating and ice sports activities.
