Reminders for our Members & Guests to Have a Safe Fourth of July Holiday

• ENTRANCE GATE
  • We have employees and volunteers that will be assisting at the front gate this weekend on Friday and Saturday. Please be patient as we assist your guests with entry into the community.  Volunteers will only help them with using the Guest Directory.  If you do not answer your guests will not be allowed to enter.
  • Prepare Your Guests Before They Arrive
    • Make Sure Guests Have Your 4-Digit Code(s) – this will speed up the process from less than 30 seconds to several minutes:
    • Know When Your Guests Are Arriving – make sure you are in a place where you have phone/cell phone coverage so you can remotely open the gate when your guests arrive.
  • Exit Gate – Stop at the sign and slowly inch forward towards the gate to activate the gate sensor to open.
• ILPOA Office Hours
  • JULY 3^RD: The ILPOA Office will be OPEN on Friday, July 3^rd from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. should you need to purchase watercraft stickers, guest cards, etc.
  • JULY 4^{TH and} 5^th: Office Closed
• EVENTS
  • Boat Parade: Saturday, July 4^th at dark we will have our Light Up The Night boat parade.  Light up your boats, docks, etc. and join us as we travel around the lake to see the lights.
  • Fireworks Displays: There is no formal display scheduled for the 4^th weekend, however, many people will probably shoot off fireworks so there should be plenty to see. We believe Cuba will be hosting a fireworks display on Friday, February 3^rd at dusk at Hood Park.  Check out Cuba’s Facebook page for details.
• COVID
  • Social Distancing: please maintain at a minimum 6’ social distance wherever you are in the community including the beach.  Where it is not possible to keep the 6’ social distance we urge you to use a mask for the safety of your fellow members, family, and guests.
