Now is the time your Club begins to plan its annual, much anticipated and enjoyed Fourth of July fireworks display. This annual patriotic event, which has been held at Lake Mohawk since its inception, has long enhanced the prestige of Lake Mohawk in the wider community and, indeed, the State. We are all aware of the national economic downturn that has, in one way or another, affected all of us. Though impacted as well, Lake Mohawk, as a result of good leadership and management, is in sound fiscal state. At the same time, good management practice dictates careful oversight of ancillary activities and expenditures. You would expect no less of us. Accordingly, we are asking you to consider being an active participant in this year's July 4th fireworks display by making a personal donation to this patriotic and entertaining activity. Our goal this year is $10,000. Thank you and Happy Spring! Jay Dunn, Trustee; Chairman, House Committee Yes… I am proud to donate to the July 4th Fireworks Display at Lake Mohawk ( ) Bronze $10.00 ( ) Silver $25 ( ) Gold $50 ( ) Other _________ Name ______________________________________________________________________ Address ____________________________________________________________________ Make Checks Payable to: Lake Mohawk Country Club Mail To: Lake Mohawk Country Club • 21 The Boardwalk The Papoose • Sparta, New Jersey 07871 April 2014 • Please visit our new and improved website at www.lakemohawkcc.com 3 Julie Does It Again!

I realize the economy is still not fully recovered and finances may be tight, but I am asking for contributions of $45.00 per family to help keep our little gem a place that we can truly enjoy. Think about it for a moment; where else can you bring your family for an entire season for only $45.00? Of course if you are a Powerball winner, or just have some extra cash to get rid of, we will gladly accept more, so do not be shy.

I am writing this on the sixty-five degree day we had in March. Feeling the warmth of the sun means summer is on its way. In preparation, your SLB officers had another strategy session to firm up the events calendar and the wish list of beach projects. More sand is priority number 1. Super Storm Sandy washed some into the lagoon and the volleyball court /horseshoe pits need help. We also want to reinforce the volleyball posts and install a new net. Other projects discussed include the canoe racks, building new picnic tables to replace the much worn ones, possibly stain all of the tables and benches for added curb appeal, along with sealing the wooden swing set. If you can lend a hand with any of these projects please let President Mike know at [email protected]. Teens are welcome and can earn volunteer hours. Game Night, our first event of 2014, was a blast for the adults. Next up is the Kids Easter Egg Hunt & Pizza Party on Friday, April 11 at 5:30pm, rain date: Saturday 4/12 at 11am.

We have started collecting dues, still $40. Use PayPal online or give what you can by sending your check to Mike Dennehy, SLB Treasurer, at 70 Whippoorwill Lane. Dues help pay for all of the projects mentioned above, plus much of the events, porto-potty, lights, maintenance supplies, etc. This year there will be fundraising events again that also really help pay the bills.

We had 14-18 inches thickness during this winter’s Polar Vortex. Although it should be good for our lake in keeping weeds under control, rest assured the water temperature may take some time to warm up. Spring like temperatures will get some of our boaters an early start on the season. This is great to see, the lake being used and our boating season begining. However, we would like to caution our early boaters about being safe during this low boat traffic time. Since the Marine Patrol and other boaters may not be around to readily R EMEMBER Not All Anchors Are Permitted 20 Mushroom Anchor Permitted The Papoose assist, we offer these cold water boating tips from the U.S. Coast Guard. • As a general rule, if the air and water temperature added together equal less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, you should take the following steps. • Dress for the water temperature, not the air temperature. Having lots of layers on will help you survive if you do end up in the water. • If you suddenly find yourself in the water, don’t panic! • Wear a lifejacket or better yet, a float coat. A float coat is a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal floatation device when worn. These are jackets or coats with built in floatation. • Wear a hat. When in the water, 50% of your body heat is lost through your head. The hat will help slow down this heat loss. • Wear synthetic fabric. Cotton will keep water next to your skin, pulling heat from your body. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon or polyproylene will help keep cold water off your skin. • Cold water robs the body of heat 25-30 times faster than air. When you lose enough body heat to make your temperature subnormal, you become hypothermic. • Any person pulled from cold water should be treated for hypothermia. Symptoms may include intense shivering, loss of coordination, mental confusion, cold and blue skin, weak pulse, irregular heartbeat, and enlarged pupils. Once shivering stops, core body temperature begins to drop critically. This is a life threatening emergency so call 9-1-1 to seek emergency medical assistance. Since there may be few boaters on the lake during this time, boaters should look out for each other. Enjoy!

The spring outlook for the housing market is optimistic. Prices have either risen a little, or held steady, sellers are more realistic and inventory is lower.

I am hoping we are headed for a busy season of home sales. The total inventory of lake front homes here stands at only 20 homes for sale, priced from $299,000 to $1,799,900. The homes range from ‘fixer upper’ to luxury, updated and renovated homes and much in between. Seven homes sold during the past year - sales price $250,000 - $795,000, and one home listed at a little over one million is currently ‘under contract’.

The Nicholson daughters, Debra Nicholson Marcellus and Linda McRoy, were there to commemorate the day. A congratulatory letter to Shirley from GFWC President Mary Ellen Laister was read. Sparta Woman’s Club Co-Presidents Gaylene Finch and Stevie Fava expressed what members have always felt, that Shirley is gracious, caring, thoughtful and has always had a deep concern and love for humanity. Shirley was the 11th and youngest president of the Sparta Woman’s Club, having served from 1969 to 1971. Under Shirley’s leadership the Junior Woman’s Club of Sparta was formed in 1970. Shirley served as the Junior Advisor for four years, soon after she was placed on the State Honor Roll. In appreciation for their founder and in acknowledgment of her anniversary, the Junior Woman’s Club of Sparta recently honored Shirley by sending a donation in her name to Family Promise, which is the NJSFWC Special State Project 2012-2014. An endeavor dear to Shirley’s heart was the start-up of the Sparta Library, in early years 75% of the libraries in the country were founded by local Federated Women’s Clubs. Shirley was also the driving force when it came to having a lower level dug at construction time so the library would have a kitchen and extra meeting rooms. Ever since, many enjoy the use of those rooms. During the recent Woman’s Club luncheon a tribute was expressed regarding the countless accomplishments Shirley had as a Club President and in all the years to follow. Mention was made of Shirley’s courage when her daughter, Wendi Nicholson Hayden, was stricken with Scleroderma. Shirley asked the Club president at the time, Marjorie Strohsahl, to find a way to urge research funding for Scleroderma. In 2006, a Resolution was written, adopted by the Club, passed by NJSFWC and sent to Congress. Thinking of others was another selfless act on Shirley’s part.
