Upcoming HCL Events

Category:Uncategorized

Just some reminders about holiday lodge events: 

12/3 is the women’s party at the lodge (in the evening).

12/10 is the Santa breakfast at the lodge (in the morning).

12/10 is the men’s party at the lodge (in the evening).

More details about the events will be shared as things get closer but just a reminder. All members and off lake guests welcome to the parties.

Note: Due to lodge bookings and rentals and the men’s/women’s parties, there will not be a board sponsored cocktail party this year.

We DO plan on having something of that sort in the early new year, when lodge rentals and general busyness dies down a bit.

Thanks. Please spread the word about these dates!

Voting and Raffle Results – May 2022

Category:Uncategorized

Thank you to the 130 people who voted.


The Budget passed with 111 votes (88.1%) for and 15 votes (11.9%) against.

The Sponsored Membership Pilot Program received 70 votes (53.85%) for and 60 votes (46.15%) against. The Board feels that a two thirds majority is needed to pass this initiative due to potential conflict with by-laws. Additionally, the Board has been made aware of potential legal/tax issues that need further research. As a result, The Board will not implement the program but will continue to research the legal/tax issues.


The Free Dues Raffle was won by Ingrid Cimmino. Congratulations to the Cimminos!

Budget Details for April Membership Meeting To be Held at The Lodge!!! Thursday, April 28 at 7:30pm

Category:Uncategorized

The proposed budget for the new fiscal year can be viewed by clicking the following link:

https://www.highcrestlake.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Budget-2023-Membership-Detail.pdf

It will be reviewed in detail at the April General Membership Meeting. It should be noted that the budget for the new year assumes a 3% increase in dues. The vote on the budget will be conducted the week after the meeting using the website system.

Other topics of discussion will include:

The Mortgage on The Lodge is scheduled to end in September of this year. The terms of the loan include an end of term balloon payment of the remaining principal balance which will be approximately $290,000. High Crest Lake Lodge has recently received a commitment letter from Valley National Bank to refinance the Lodge mortgage. The proposed loan will completely pay off the remaining principal balance of the loan over a 10 year amortization schedule with a monthly payment that is lower than our current loan. Details will be presented at the April General Membership Meeting.

The Master Plan was approved by the membership by a margin of 90% for and 10% against. In the April meeting, we will provide an update on each of the Master Plan initiatives.

Free Membership for the coming fiscal year will be awarded to the winner of our latest fundraising raffle. The drawing will be held at the April General Membership Meeting. Tickets are 1 for $20 or 3 for $50 and can be purchased through Venmo @HCLake, PayPal to highcresttreasurer@gmail.com, by cash to any Board member or check dropped in the lodge mailbox payable to High Crest Lake Lodge. Tickets will be available for purchase at the April meeting. Please note that Board Members are not eligible to participate.

For additional information on these and several more topics, check the High Crest Lake website and keep an eye out for future emails.
