The association's primary responsibility
is to protect the privacy of the lake for its owners and members
against all outside encroachments by restricting use of the lake and
associated facilities to its members.Through the collection of
dues and fees from said members and the prudent management of these
financial resources, the association is also responsible for (1)
paying all debts of the corporation, (2) protecting lake water
quality, (3) providing certain recreational facilities for members'
use, (4) enforcing adherence to its rules and regulations for the
benefit of the general membership, and (5) representing the common
interest of the members and stockholders in certain relationships
with the local and state governments.
The affairs of the Normanoch Association, Inc. are managed by its
Board of Directors and Officers. The Board consists of nine
directors (9), three (3) of whom are elected each year for three (3)
year terms by the stockholders at their annual meeting. Each
director must be a stockholder of our corporation. The annual
stockholders' meeting is held in the morning of the first Saturday
of August in the clubhouse to elect directors and transact such
other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
A notice of that meeting, together with proxies and other
stockholder information, is mailed to each in mid-July.
Immediately after the Stockholders meeting, the Board of
Directors holds its annual organization meeting during which it
elects officers: a president and vice president from among it
members and a secretary and treasurer of the Association who are not
necessarily directors. The Association's responsibilities of
management continue throughout the year. The Board of
Directors usually meets at least monthly and more frequently in the
warmer months. Committees of directors meet between Board
meetings as responsibilities require.
In addition to the mailing related to the stockholders' meeting,
letters are usually sent each spring and winter. They provide
general information regarding happenings at Culver Lake. In
addition, the spring letter tells of plans for the busy summer
season while the winter letter speaks of the annual membership
renewal form which accompanies it.
Once this renewal form is received, it should be returned by
mail, with the information, dues and fees needed to prepare for the
coming year. After it arrives in our office properly
completed, our secretaries will process it and mail back a receipted
copy with the member badges and stickers.
The Normanoch Association's business office is located on the
upper floor of the clubhouse. It is open during published
hours in the spring and summer and on a more varied schedule
throughout the rest of the year. Stop in during "office hours"
or call whenever questions or problems regarding Association matters

possible.
