From the President…..

MoraineCamplandsAssociation

Dear Members and Guests,

Welcome to MCA's annual 4th of July celebration. Once again, this year you will be able

to view the fabulous display of fireworks thanks to the hard work of MCA's social com-

mittee members, donations and the annual contribution put aside in the annual budget

from Guest Passes.

We want everyone to stay safe this weekend so please obey the following rules:

Obey speed limits and all posted signs such as parking and Stop signs. The Stop signs

also apply to bicycles. Children 12 and under must wear a helmet.

Those using the pool need to review the pool rules and follow the lifeguard's instructions.

Obey the instructions of our security staff. HARASSMENT WILL NOT BE TOLERAT-

ED

There will be no viewing of the fireworks within 300 ft. of the island where Zambelli

launches the fireworks and the lake will NOT be open once the fireworks truck arrives.

This is all due to Zambelli's insurance carrier and Federal regulations.

It is the member's duty to purchase the Holiday Guest Pass in advance, we cannot accept

payment from the guest or anyone that's not on the lease such as your children.

HARASSMENT OF OUR EMPLOYEES WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

Illegal fireworks can be purchased in stores and roadside stands but cannot be set off in

the State of Pa. or MCA, anyone caught using illegal fireworks at MCA will be prosecut-

ed to the fullest extent of the law and the members that are responsible for their guest's

actions will be written up and face possible suspension.

Ground effects, snaps and sparklers are about the only thing legal. If it goes in the air

(bottle rockets,Roman candles etc.) If it goes bang ( fire crackers,cherry bombs etc.) then

they are NOT legal!!! If you have them take them home, you can't set them off here!

Please enjoy all the activities that our volunteer committees have planned for you this

weekend and respect that they are volunteers when attending their functions.

No smoking or drinks on the dance floor,

No smoking or alcohol near the children's activities PLEASE.

No parking of golf carts or motor vehicles on the grass of hillside near Memorial Pavil-

ion.

Enjoy the weekend and all we have to offer here at MCA, be safe and be courteous.

FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT

FROM THE TREASURER

The Audit committee has been hard at work balancing our

accounts. We are going to initiate several new processes

into our procedure in August.

Our next meeting is July 26th at 10am.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to

seek me out!

Ruby Marcocelli, Treasurer

Hard to believe the 4th of July weekend is already upon us. Preparations for the

events are being worked on by our hard working staff for the enjoyment of all

our members. Please keep in mind that the campground swells in population for

this weekend and that our resources become strained to the breaking

point. Members are responsible for the conduct of their guests. please purchase

your guest passes beforehand so there is not so much of a bottleneck at the

gate. $10.00 for a pass is a very inexpensive charge for what it costs the member-

ship to have the events for the weekend. Make sure your golf carts are tagged

with your insurance sticker as security and inspections will be out in force. Please

patronize our fund-raising committee's events as this is how they raise money to

have more of these events and to buy new things for the campground. Check out

our newly remodeled store as they serve some great food and have all kinds of

things for your camping needs. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

FROM YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Attention Members...a reminder that the dumpsters are for garbage only! Violators will

be charged a $50.00 fine for the first offense. Keep in mind that the dumpsters are un-

der surveillance. The campground will be charged an additional fee for each dumpster

that has non-approved trash in it. For example; construction material, furniture, mat-

tresses, electronics etc. If in doubt you can check with the office.

PLEASE PUT TRASH IN DUMPSTERS, NOT ON THE GROUND!!

FROM YOUR DIRECTOR AT LARGE

… from your Director-at-Large, Rick Hutchison @ G-12

It’s hard to believe that the 4th of July is upon us already. It’s been a rollercoaster of a season to date … lots of stuff happening … some good and some not so good … but as in all families we make the best of whatever life puts in front of us. I person-ally am extremely proud of our MCA BOD working together in serving for the good and best interest of MCA and all of our members. It is an honor and a privilege to work and serve with each and every one of your section representatives. As liaison and member of the Teen Committee we’ve been learning through our growing pains and the new Teen Rec. is growing into a very nice fit to the MCA community. Our 1st dance had over 200 teens in attendance for the evening. Our vendor has been extremely pleased not only with the funds that have been gener-ated but also with the fact that our teens have been taking extremely good care of the vendors machines and our new Teen Rec. building … this says a lot for our MCA family, the personal families of each and every teen, and most importantly the teens themselves … I’m so very proud of each and every one of them …

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!!! As your director-at large I would like to reach out to each and every MCA member and make a few requests : 1). PLEASE take the time and be sure to put your lot number at the front of your camp. This simple request can assist in locating a camper’s lot in case of emergency. 2). Please respect OUR garbage dumpsters and area. These are for GARBAGE ONLY … NO televisions, No appliances, NO furniture, No bikes, lawnmowers ect. ect. These items not only take up space but also costs MCA extra $$$ when the garbage vendor charges MCA for mis-use of their service … so PLEASE … GARBAGE ONLY ! 3). PLEASE take pride in your campsite … it makes us ALL look good !! 4). AND MOST IMPORTANTLY … HAVE A FUN AND AWESOME CAMPING SEASON !!! … if you have ANY concerns, issues and/or just want to chat I’m located @ G-12 … thank you all for allowing me to serve as your director-at-large and to be your voice on the BOD here at MCA !!!

I would like to thank all those who have given so generously to the clothing drive. I will continue to take donations as long as people are willing to do-nate.

Dear Fellow Campers Last summer Bill and I had a donation table at our campsite D95. Where you could take what you want

and leave a donation if you could. Well, the monies that you donated were sent to the MAKE A WISH

foundation in memory of our son. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Because of all

the good heated people that stopped by that day we were able to donate $165.00. Thank you for helping

us to help another child’s wish come true.

God Bless all of you,

Sincerely,

Bill and Susie Nau
