The Executive Board of this Association believes that the Shaker Pines Lake area is an exceptionally beautiful place to live. This statement is made with the realization that the lake is our most valuable asset, next to our homes, affording us swimming, boating and skating privileges. As you get settled in your new residence, please take a walk or ride around the lake and you will quickly realize that although the lake is relatively small, its uses are many. The lake must be taken care of regardless of cost or inconvenience. When you attend the Annual Meeting of the Association in June, you will realize that the largest percentage of tax monies collected goes directly toward maintaining the lake (treatment of weeds, algae, etc.) We trust that you will understand this large expense. Remember that if you sell your property, the lake will be your best selling point.
