The Autumn Leaves Drift by Our Windows

With this week’s change in weather and temperatures, leaves have begun to
take Autumn seriously. Shortly we’ll be outside at every opportunity with
rakes in hand. LMOA’s leaf disposal site within the fenced area at Tufton
Lake is open for disposal of leaves, acorns and grass clippings only. Please
remove leaves from bags, and take the bags for reuse. Please do not dump brush, tree branches,
trash or other debris. No commercial dumping.

WHO SAYS THERE’S NOTHING TO DO AT AND AROUND LAKE MONTICELLO?

Fall is jam-packed with activities, all the way through October and beyond.

excellent Dixieland Jazz, from 2 to 4PM in the Terrace Room, while also raising funds for the community fishing

Ä “Second Chance” Day: LMOA and Goodwill Industries of the Valleys have planned a Second Chance day on Sat., Oct. 9,

we will be able to offer all Octoberfest activities residents have come to enjoy. Call the Administration Office at
589-8263 to volunteer. Many thanks for your assistance.
Ä Artists and crafters needed for Fall Craft Fair: Spaces are going fast, so reserve yours now for this highly anticipated

homepage.

ARE YOU FIREWISE? The VA Dept. of Forestry‘s Firewise program offers homeowners tips to help reduce fire risk
to their homes and community. A program on the Firewise program will be aired on LMOA’s cable TV channel
10’s “This Week at the Lake” at 9AM and 7PM through Oct. 6. Host/producer Ron Krauss will talk with Forestry
representatives about Firewise and how it can protect Lake Monticello. The Forestry Dept. expects to implement
the program within the community in the coming weeks and will have a display and information available for
residents during Octoberfest on Oct. 16. For more information about the program, go to www.firewisevirginia.org.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS WORK SESSION: The Board will hold a work session on engineering related to needed dam repairs on
Mon., Oct. 4, at 7PM in the Terrace Room. Guests will be Scott and Lisa Cahill of Watershed Services, who performed repairs on the

CELEBRATING THE LAKE MONTICELLO SPIRIT of the members of the Water Safety Patrol, volunteers who patrol the lake
every weekend from Memorial Day to Labor Day to assist lake users and promote boating safety.

FIRE CAUTION ABOUT COMPACT FLORESCENT LAMPS (CFLs): Many of you recently received the viral email warning of the fire
danger of using CFLs with dimmer switches. Is the warning valid or just more internet sensationalism? LM Fire & Rescue Squad
President Len Bozza had this to say: “Lake Monticello Fire Department and Rescue Squad, Inc. reminds residents not to use CFL
bulbs with dimmers unless they are specifically designed for such use. Most are not suitable for use with dimmers and could cause a
fire risk.”

Voter’s Guide, a non-partisan publication, prepared by the Fluvanna County League of Women Voters. The Guide will be distributed
through the Fluvanna Review the week before the election.
FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN CONTINUES FOR PIER: The most recent report from Bo’s Pier Group revealed that more than
$23,300 has been raised toward the estimated $25,000 needed to construct the community fishing pier. For those who have not yet
donated and who want to be a party in this community effort to establish an important amenity, there’s still time. Donations of any size
will be appreciated. Make out your check to LMOA and mark it for “Pier Fund.” Send to Bo’s Pier Group, 265 Turkeysag Trail, Suite
