Happy Spring and welcome back MCA Members to the 2018-19 camping season. I

hope everyone had a safe and warm winter and that all are well. I hope everyone is

as excited as I am to get back to camp. There has been a steady stream of things

going on behind the scenes as there is every year to get the park ready to open. Our

employees are of the highest caliber and work very hard for our membership. My

fellow Board of Directors and the Member Volunteers that help out even in the win-

ter have also been working hard to provide fun and activities for all of us. They will

inform you of the upcoming activities that they and their committee's have started

working on for you. As we say every year, the things going on that you pay for could

still not be accomplished without the hard work of our volunteers. The cost to be a

member at MCA could and would be much higher without our volunteers. Hopefully

you will be able to donate a little time to help provide all with fun and activities this

year. It can be as much or as little time as you want to donate, and would be appre-

ciated by all. So, let's all arrive safely at MCA, open our camps and get ready for the

fun!

As one of your D Sections Representatives, and the Secretary for the Board of Direc-

tors, I would like to welcome everyone back for another wonderful year at MCA. As

you already know, there are numerous projects that have begun last year and are

being finalized. We have appreciated your patience during these projects and hope

that you take the time to thank Jon and our maintenance team for all their hard

work during the winter months.

I want to thank everyone in D section that took the time to reelect me as one of your

Board of Directors. I take this job very seriously and again, will do everything I can

to vote for the members and voice their concerns. I am always available to talk

about any concerns you may have and answer questions to the best of my

knowledge. I would rather be confronted with your questions and take the time to

answer them in person than hearing rumors. I ran for the board to make a differ-

ence. Not just a difference in my own section, but for all of MCA as a whole.

Mike Grady - Secretary / D-Section Representative / Sports, Architectural, Nominations & Elections Liaison

Welcome campers! It was a very busy off-season as we spent many countless hours

negotiating contracts and researching insurance options for our employees, along

with planning many upcoming and ongoing projects.

As you are all aware, the 2018-2019 budget was passed and approved at the

March BOD meeting with an increase of $60. The entire Budget committee worked

very hard this year to keep the increase to a minimum. I would like to thank every-

one involved in continuing to make MCA a better place for our members.

By the time you will be reading this, we will be heavily involved in our yearly audit. It

is a very busy and important time of the year. Myself, along with the office manager,

bookkeeper, audit & budget committees, all come together to ensure that every-

thing is in order. This year we have a new Auditing firm from the Grove City area;

McGill Power Bell. The final report and Financial Statement will be shared at our

annual meeting on Sunday, July 8.

If anyone is interested in the obtaining a copy of any of the Budget reports and/or

meeting minutes, please stop by the office and request a copy for a nominal charge.

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the members who took the time to

complete the insert that was included with your Due’s Notice. This helps us main-

tain our database and keep all of our files up to date for the 4 regular mailings that

are distributed each year. It is your responsibility to keep your personal data up-to-

date, pay your dues in a timely basis and updating any optional assessments that

may change on your Lot.

In June, we will be sending out an Invoice to those who have an outstanding bal-

ance to help ensure a timely payment before the July 1 lockout date and we begin

the proceedings to the Magistrate. Reminder, if there are any questions or con-

cerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me – C-012 or via email at

[email protected].

Your Feedback is Important!

Welcome back to the 2018 Camping Season! The Board of Directors has been

meeting all winter, trying to come up with plans of action for continued improve-

ment and upkeep of our campground. Sometimes it is hard to see all the work that

goes on over the winter just to keep the campground running. Many thanks to our

maintenance crew and many volunteers who work so hard to keep MCA beautiful.

In keeping with that thought, there comes a time when we need to hear from the

general membership on items regarding campground upkeep, improvement, activi-

ties and services. Enclosed with this newsletter you will find a brief membership

survey. Please take 5-10 minutes to fill it out and let us know how we are doing

and what we can do better. This is our campground, so we want to hear from as

many as we can to make sure our budget, your dues, are going to what is important

to you. Thank you for taking the time.

The survey is on pages 13 and 14. Please detach from the newsletter and return

to the office, or put into the mail.

F RO M B S E C T I O N I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the new camping sea-

son of 2018. Our maintenance crew Jon, Dave, Tyler, and Dylan have been working

hard to complete our camp projects before the season starts and will continue the

daily upkeep through out the year. Please give them a wave and a thank you for

their efforts. Plenty of events are planned for us by all our committees, so please try

to support, and if you have time, volunteer to help at any of the scheduled events.

I give my yearly plea to please conserve electricity. If you are not using it, turn it off.

Be diligent, when you are leaving camp turn off your A/C, TV, radio, and all lights

inside and out. We all need to contribute to this effort to stop the misuse of our

electricity.

I’m hoping you all have a fun and enjoyable camping season this year. If you have

any questions or problems you can contact me at lot B-6. I will do all I can to an-

swer or solve your concerns. Thank You.

Bill Oyler - B section Representative / Pool, Vehicles, Adult Lounge Committee Liaison.

F RO M D S E C T I O N

Hi all! I hope everyone is ready for a great camping season filled with new and old

activities. Our new committee members have been hard at work preparing their

events to suit all of our members. Sunday May 27 a small group of MCA members

are planning the MCA "Stronger than the Storm" pig roast fundraiser for our fire vic-

tims. Stay tuned for more info on this event!

Please take notice of the 2 scrolling LED boards that were purchased by last year's

Lake committee. One sign is located at the office and the other is located at the A-

frame. These boards will be used to keep members updated on activities going on

throughout the camp, and any important information that we need to get out quickly

to our members.

Earlier this year the BOD created an Informational page on Facebook, please search

for MCA BOD Informational page on Facebook and join. Please note you must be a

lease holder to view this page. The page was created to keep our members in-

formed about our monthly board meetings, meeting minutes and other information

that members may be interested in knowing. Our members voted us in to these po-

sitions and I want to keep all members informed.

This year I am excited to be Liaison for the Teen, Inspection and Publicity commit-

tees; I also serve on these committees as well. I look forward to working with all

members and encourage members to come to me with any problems, questions or

issues even if you are not in D section. If I can’t get you an answer or a solution, I

will reach out to my colleagues and get your issue resolved, and your questions an-

swered. I strive to have an "open door policy" so don't be afraid to challenge me. I

wish everyone a fantastic, memorable, safe season.

Ellie Christopher - D Section Representative / Inspections, Publicity, Teen Committee Liaison.

It’s time to get back to

the summer fun!

During the winter, the

Wifi committee has been

working through the de-

tails with Armstrong to

bring fiber optic internet

into the camp and we are

targeting July for installa-

tion. It is going to be a

big job so I beg everyone

to please be patient.

There will be times when

the net will be down and

we will do our best to

keep everyone notified.

We are confident that the

many upgrades will give

everyone more reliability

and speed. Reminder;

the committee does not

do hook-ups or mainte-

nance on holiday week-

ends. We will be enjoying

the fun with our families

and friends just as you

will be. I thank everyone

who has signed up for

another year of Wifi, and

those who have joined

the committee. We ap-

preciate everyone and if

you have any questions

please feel free to con-

tact us at

[email protected] or

call 724-374-4106. I

personally look forward to

seeing everyone this

summer and all the fun

that has yet to come.

Andi Criscella

Wifi Committee Chair Please share with your family and friends that I urge everyone to

please turn off the Wifi on your cell phones and notepads when en-

tering camp if you are not a paid subscriber. These non connected

devices continue to ping our routers which increases a slowdown.

Welcome H Section members to the 2018 camping season. Once again, it is time

to clear away the remnants of fall and watch for the subtle signs of spring sprouting

from the landscape and trees. I just wanted to say "Hello" and remind all that I am

here to assist you with your questions and concerns. Respectfully,

Keith Edwards - H Section Representative / Church Liaison

Hello campers. 2018, what a relief, winter is finally over, spring is here and we all

know what needs to be done. Please again remember that volunteers are what

makes the wheels go round. So if you can, do. Sign up for a project, get a friend

and pitch in. The satisfaction will be rewarding enough.

It may not be apparent, but many things were accomplished this winter and the

things that weren't should be completed soon. Most of all start to enjoy this sea-

son, start a fire and have friends over, come up play bingo or just get involved.

With everyone’s help this could be “The Year to Remember”. Please offer your help

to make "MCA the Place to Be"

Well, Happy Spring to all.

I hope this newsletter

finds you all drying out

after a grueling never

ending lingering winter.

This year, I am the In-

spection committee

Chairperson and would

like for it to be a seam-

less transition.

A Spring reminder; If you

had an air conditioner,

extra refrigerator or an

electric golf cart on your

assessments last year

and no longer have them,

it is your responsibility to

advise the office of your

changes. Once they have

been inspected and veri-

fied, they will then be re-

moved from your assess-

ments. Failure to com-

plete this process will still

hold you responsible for

these payments and late

fees.

Happy Spring Cleaning.

Stacy McDonald

Inspection Committee Chair

LEASE

VIOLATIONS The BOD has been paying close attention to Lease

Violations. Many letters were sent during the off sea-

son to those who we suspected may have been us-

ing camp as a residence. Some of those issues have

been cleared up, some are still pending. You may

not use your camp as a permanent residence.

The Board is unanimous in our decision to take ac-

tion on those in violation of their lease. We have and

are continuing to develop policies to take action in

these manners.

LADIES ROOM REMODEL: The long wait is almost over! The newly remodeled ladies bathroom and showers at the

A-Frame will soon be open. This project was delayed by some problems that were out of our control from the begin-

ning and I will shoulder the responsibility and apologize to the members for the delay. I am sure everyone will be

pleased with the hard work that has been done on this project. Jon, David, Dylan, and Tyler have done an outstand-

ing job with the demolition and the roughing in of new plumbing and now the finishing touches. I would also like to

extend our grateful thanks on behalf of MCA members to our friends Tim Murray, Timmy Lipinski and crew for the

cement work on the floor (they also did the men's room a few years back). I would also like to thank our friend Kir-

tus S. (he wants to remain anonymous) for the material and tile work that he provided to us. These folks will proba-

bly be mad at me for mentioning them in this article, but we are proud to have had them contribute their expertise

in helping us achieve the final results and I think that they deserve a little recognition. Actually, all our volunteers

deserve recognition, so thanks to all of them!

CEMENT PROJECT: The BOD approved the renovation of the cement walkways and sidewalks in front of the A-

Frame building to be ADA compliant. This project was also delayed due to weather and scheduling. It will turn out

beautifully I am sure, if it isn't done already by the time you are reading this.

STREET SIGNS: We are going to place new street signs throughout the park that will include the MCA logo. This is

necessary for emergency responders and it will add to the overall revitalization of the park. We have a couple vol-

unteers that are going to use their equipment to cut out all the reflective lettering and apply to the green back-

ground. A rough draft was reviewed by the BOD recently and everyone seemed to like it. We are currently search-

ing out pricing for the material and this will probably be one of those projects that will get done a little at a time

over the summer as it involves 145 street signs on poles cemented into the ground. We will keep you updated as

the project progresses.

WATER PLANT: The annual shutdown and cleaning of the water plant has been completed. This is now mainte-

nance scheduled and must be done on a yearly basis. The building of this plant a few years back was expensive

and we need to protect our investment. Unfortunately, this year as we were almost completed, we had a small fire

caused by a faulty fan. The quick response by our crew kept it from being worse. Minor damage has been and is

being repaired and no system controls or equipment were damaged or touched by fire. As a precaution, all tanks

were again drained, cleaned and refilled. Jon scheduled a new water test so we would be sure of no contamination

in the water and recently informed us that we received a clean bill of health on the VOC test. Thanks again Jon for

taking care of this.

SEWAGE PLANT: Up and running! This will be our first full year with the plant, so we will be closely monitoring all

the functions and controls to make sure everything is running smoothly. We still have a few things that need done

down there, but it is all basically cosmetic.

NEW WELL: The BOD is exploring our options for a new water well that will eventually need drilled as the casing in

one of our wells is collapsing and we will need a new source. We have hired a geologist to conduct a feasibility

study and to recommend a drilling site for the future. We have also been informed that a large aquifer in the Slip-

pery Rock area may extend all the way down to our land and If this pans out, we would have no water worries for

years to come. More information to come when the study is done.

LIGHTING: You will notice that we are installing new LED

energy saving lights and poles in the A-Frame area, and on

the back of the A-Frame by the rest rooms. This is to light

the area for safety reasons and is part of the BOD's revitali-

zation plan for the park and should be installed before the

season opens.

If you want to use the Sales & Promotion committee services, there is a fee of $10

per month or $50 per year. That fee entitles you to a listing in the office and you

are also able to provide a set of keys which we will hold in the office. You may pay

an additional $10 for inclusion on our website mcacamplands.org.

If you utilize the services of the Sales & Promo Committee, those committee Mem-

bers will then be able to show your lot to perspective buyers.

If you are selling your camp and not utilizing the camp sales & promotion commit-

tee, you can not send prospective buyers to camp on their own. You must make ar-

rangements to accompany them into camp to show your lot.

MCA has 5 vehicles with an average age of 16.8 years old. Two of the vehicles have current vehicle inspection

stickers and the other 3 vehicles are for in-camp use only. The vehicle budget established for 2017 had doubled

by the end of March this year, due to costly repairs to return 2 vehicles to safe operating condition. These purchas-

es included a used truck bed, an intermediate exhaust pipe that included a catalytic converter, battery, brake cali-

per, power steering pump and axle shaft u joint. While the bed was being replaced, the fuel pump, fuel-filler neck

and shock absorbers were also replaced.

MCA’s employees and membership’s safety are just several factors taken into consideration when making repairs

to the vehicles. The camp vehicles have several useful years of service left with cost- effective repairs and regular

routine maintenance.

Happy summer everyone! It’s so good to be back at camp and out from behind

those same four walls at home. I am so excited for this summer’s events and can’t

wait to see how much fun everyone is going to have. The three holiday weekends

we will have the “Golf Balls in the Raft” on Saturdays and “Horseshoe Tournaments”

on each Sunday.

The Annual Golf Outing will be at Green Meadows Golf Course on Saturday, July 21.

You must sign up and pay by July 14. The cost is $70 per person, which includes

golf fee, golf cart use and our wonderfully delicious dinner at the Memorial pavilion

following the outing. You are welcome invite any friends or family. You may sign up

with Kathy McNeill/D-104, Dave McLaughlin/H-35 or Sierra Seibert/D-36.

Last year some of the guys were talking about possibly having a golf tournament

against Slippery Rock Campground. If we get enough people interested, we will try

to make it happen. We are also thinking about having a Corn Hole Tournament and

if we can get enough people interested we will do that too.

We have also been looking into cleanup and repairs to the Bocce Courts. If you

have any time and would like to help, please let us know.

I wish everyone a fun and happy camp season.

would ask of every camper this year is to please, contact and communicate with us

personally on what you like or don't like about an event and share any ideas or sug-

gestions. Facebook and Social Media breaks true communication and we are volun-

teering our time to help create fun for everyone.

We hope to see you at one or all the events around camp this season,
