Monday, June 13, 2011
10:00 AM at Cyndy Horn’s home
Call to Order: 10:00 AM: Cyndy Horn,
Judy Martin, Bonnie Sloan,
Georgia Knutsen
Minutes of, Tuesday, April 26, 2011,
Board Meeting: Approved as read
Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer’s
report by Bonnie Sloan is attached. Thank
you for keeping us honest and solvent.
(Still looking for CD ‘s)
1.There is a concern that our Bunco
nights are not paying for the paper goods
used. They now charge $3.00 a player. It
was agreed by the board that $1.00 of that
should go towards the paper goods and the
remaining $2.00 used for the prizes.
2.Other expenses have been the costs of
Fictitious Business name application and
publication, Community Dinner costs and
donation, Storage rental paid for the year,
PO Box rental, and misc, equaling $828.82
total.
3.Dave Delay has purchased one load of sand
for the REC area and plans to get another
load or maybe two more loads with our
approval. He also purchased the tennis
balls for the practice machine which we
agreed to pay.
4.We had couple of more members pay, putting
us over last year’s membership by two or
three.
5.Dave Delay mentioned we might purchase a
few more racks for displaying merchandise at
the Golf Club. Jan and Georgia—will you
look in to this when you take things up
there?
Committee Reports/Other?
Needles and Pins will be in the Rec
area Tues. June 14th since Peggy
Wright is sick and the weather is
cooperating. Judy will post the changes and
Peggy will put a note on her door.
Sunshine: Adrienne posted cards that
were sent out—see attached. Remember to let
her know about people needing a card. She’s
doing a great job!
Ways and Means: (Thank you Jan and
Georgia for all the work you are doing on
this)
1.Georgia Knutsen reported on
ordering pens with logos—100 was a good
deal. The actual cost per pen is $1.12, so
we agreed to sell them for $2.00. The
extras will go to the Golf club house and/or
sunshine baskets or prizes.
2.Jan
Eveland emailed her order for the
light weight fleeces and ball caps after she
and Cyndy looked over the samples. There
wasn’t time to locate beer mugs nor could we
find a frame size suitable for golf score
cards. We will work on those for a later
time.
3.Twenty small binders were purchased
and Jan is designing the covers and spines.
Georgia gave Cyndy the 2009
directories—which are many-- and the master
for the 2010 directory changes. Cyndy will
count, run 2010/2011 on appropriate paper,
and collate for the directory.
Old Business
1.May 16th luncheon
delicious!!! Georgia fantastic!!!!! Fun
having some spouses. Thank you Judy, Rita,
Cyndy, Georgia
2.Bunco Going Strong: We
discussed the pros and cons of Bunco in
July and August. It has to be scheduled for
6:00 PM on Sundays to avoid conflict with
the Grill. Cyndy will check with
couple’s golf to see what they are doing for
their dinners. Cyndy will also
approach the Grill owners about the Sunday,
August 7th date. Judy Martin
will post the change of no Bunco in July.
3.Hot August Nights:
Date—Sat. Aug 20th—Buzz Barrett
(258-3428) lined up--$350.00-$375.00 Peggy
Wright, Lydia Freeby, and Jo Knudsen are the
committee. (Board members attending will be
Bonnie, Judy, and Georgia, so keys will be
available from Bonnie or Judy—Cyndy Horn
will be out of town.) In order to pay for
Buzz Barrett, have a decoration budget, and
offer a choice of chicken and/or tri tip,
the board decided to charge $22.00/person
with children under 5 free. (Mike Angelis is
the caterer and is charging $17.00 per
person which includes tax and tip) If
someone brings several older children, they
will have to decide whether to pay full
amount or for just one plate to be shared.
We are charged for each plate!!! Last year
they used all picnic tables.
The flier will state the date, Time
5:30-10:00 with the cars 5:30-6:30, BYOB
with water provided, entertainment /old
cars/dinner by August 15th. Judy will post
the fliers by the 15th of July
with RSVP numbers
New Business
1. WACC June newsletter—see
copy attached.
2. Expenditure request from
the
Lake Almanor Grill for the
following:
1.Large flat screen TV to replace small
one--$950.00 is Costco cost but guy at the
Beehive will match
that cost but include installation also
2. 3-step stepstool
commercial grade required $98.00
3. Large grill
scraper $42.00
4. Large Plastic
containers with spout flip up lid $100.00
The board decided that these items were
more appropriately funded by the WACC and/or
the owners of the Grill. They do not really
benefit the total community. Our projects
usually would be like the sand in the park,
awning for the clubhouse, concrete for the
handicap access for the clubhouse, etc.
Cyndy will talk with the Grill owners and
explain. Cyndy also has talked with Kim at
the office to explain our reasoning. Kim
agrees with our vote on this matter.
(The WACC is already paying for the
Grill utilities, phone, and garbage this
year.)
Reviewed Calendar for:
Monday, June 27th:
This is a Hoedown, but there aren’t
any line dancing experts, so our alternative
is to learn Bocce ball rules and scoring.
Cyndy will organize Bocce
after our general meeting—we start at 10:30
for gathering/meeting/games, followed by the
Bar B Q by Mike Angelis. $15.00 will cover
most of the cost. Rayna Simpson will
provide the boots for decorations with the
rest of the decorations at Judy’s house.
Set up about 9:30.
Saturday, July 2nd:
Ice Cream Social after the
WACC/WATER BOARD MEETING scheduled at 10:30
at the park. Need blenders from Horn/Martin;
Rita/Judy to check the supply list
that Judy got at the board meeting; Lydia
to shop Costco for the list from Cyndy;
Cyndy to order ice cream, milk, ice and
bring big ice chest; Judy to bring
tub for water bottles. Cyndy and Judy
have the volunteer list. Cyndy
will email Georgia the list for people
selling items so she and Jan can call
them. Cyndy will contact Dave Delay
for tables from the shed that are needed,.
Saturday, July 30th:
Yard/Garage sale: Who is doing
publicity??? When should it go in to the
paper and where??? Judy will get the
display post for the entrance.
Georgia has the maps. If people call,
they just need to know there will be generic
maps at the entrance. They can make their
own sale signs for their own property, keep
their profits, and have fun. Cyndy will
email the WACC office with the details.
Fliers are on the bulletin boards.
Monday, September 19th
is the general meeting: Cyndy will
consult the Grill for this date/menu
quote/and use for our general meeting.
Cyndy is still waiting to hear from Marilyn
Gamette—but she could come there OK I
think?? Will plan later.
Saturday, October 15th
Wine in
the Pines: Lydia has secured
the Red Onion as the caterer. Cyndy already
volunteered the board members to serve?!?!
More information later.
Miscellaneous—Sierra institute Center
of Forestry Summer Tours brochure is
available.
Future Agenda Items?Non-member fees
for events? Finalize publicity for garage
sale. Nominating Com

MINUTES OF THE LAWCC AUXILIARY BOARD MEETING
February 17, 2011
Cyndy Horn’s Home
The following members were present: Cyndy
Horn, Judy Martin, Bonnie Sloan, Rita Isbell, and
Georgia Knutsen.
The meeting was called to order by President, Cyndy
Horn at 11:12 a.m.
The minutes from the last board meeting were
approved as read.
Treasurer’s Report: Dues
collected total $7,020. Total assets equal
$37,096.88 See reports for details.
Two CD’s came due. Bonnie will check interest
rates in Chester and other options available for
best rates. The cost of the Community Dinner
came to $211.66. This is less than the $350
budgeted for this event. It was decided to
keep the difference in our funds for other
donations that may develop during 2011. If the
funds have not been used by November 2011, this
difference may be donated to the Community Dinner at
that time for needed supplies, etc.
Fire Department - The Auxiliary received a
request from Chief Randy Fluke, West Almanor Fire
Department, for a donation towards the purchase of a
Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) for the first out fire
engine. The auxiliary likes to support the
fire department but since it is not part of WACC,
Cyndy will discuss our donation of $5,000 with the
WACC board. The WACC board’s approval is
required according to the auxiliary’s BYLAWS.
If the WACC Board approves the donation, a letter
will be sent to Randy stating the auxiliary’s
donation of $5,000 for the TIC. The funds will
be held in the auxiliary’s account until the TIC is
purchased.
Dave Delay -There are funds available for
Dave’s requests for the community. Currently
requests include purchasing new plastic tables and
several odds and ends. The new tables will be
used as extra tables when needed for functions at
the park and stored in the shed there.
Committee Reports:
Needles and Pins - The March and April dates
are filled. See poster on bulletin boards and
Pinecone Telegraph for more information.

Nominating Committee - Compile a list of

There will be two vacancies for the auxiliary board

board members shadow current board members to see
the responsibilities of positions. Future
board members need to be aware that they are elected
to the board not a position. At the first
board meeting in December the board decides which
office each member will hold. The new board
members take office in January.
Old Business:
Fictitious Business Name - The auxiliary
board decided to submit the Fictitious Business Name
Form. Judy will mail the form to Plumas
County. Once the county has completed the
form, they will mail it back to Bonnie. See
Memo for further information.
Community Dinner - January 20, 2011 at
Memorial Hall - We prepared enough food to feed 120
people as suggested by Sharlyne. It is
estimated that over 123 people were fed. There was a
great turnout. Cyndy read the Thank You Note
received from Sharlyne Anderson for providing a
Community Dinner.
Bunco Night - The 1st Friday of the Month -
Clubhouse at 5:00 p.m. - There was a good
turnout. The next Bunco Nights will be March 4
and April 1. So far, 13 people have signed up

St. Bernards. Good feedback was given for the
event.

a.m. Two sites have been chosen. The one
selected will depend on the amount of snow at that
time. Lunch will be at the Pizza Factory after
the walk. Contact Judy Martin or Georgia
Knutsen for further information. See poster on
bulletin boards and Pinecone Telegraph for more
information.

Firehouse at 5:00 p.m. - Volunteers’ wives will
bring desserts.
April 18, 2011 General Meeting - 5:00 p.m. at

reserved the clubhouse. RSVP to Judy Martin or
Rita Isbell. See poster on bulletin boards and
Pinecone Telegraph for more information.
May 16, 2011 General Meeting - Location will
depend upon the opening of the restaurant at our
clubhouse. If we cannot use our clubhouse, we
may use the Elk’s Lodge. Cyndy will contact
Marilyn Gamette to be our speaker.

LAWCC Auxiliary General Meeting
January 17, 2011
Location: Pizza Factory
The meeting was called to order by President Cyndy
Horn at 10:44 a.m.
Other board members present included Judy Martin,
Rita Isbell and retiring President Georgia Knutsen.
The minutes from the November 15, 2010 LAWCC
Auxiliary General Meeting were accepted as amended.
Treasury Report - A Balance
sheet as of January 17, 2011 was handed out which
list Total Liabilities and Equity equaling
$30,281.73. The proposed budget for 2011 was
presented. Debbie Holden and Carol Young were
members of the budget committee. It was noted
that proposed Member Dues for 2011 equal $7,800.00
which is less than actual collected dues of
$8,200.00 for 2010 but higher than proposed dues of
$7,500.00 for 2010. It was decided to list a
conservative amount rather than over project
collected dues for 2011. Auxiliary Projects
were discussed. In 2010, $6,000.00 was
projected and only $498.75 was spent. The
amount proposed for Auxiliary Projects for 2011 is
$8,000.00. See reports.
Requests for funds for 2011 projects have been
received.
Chief Randy Fluke, West Almanor Fire
Department - Request for a donation towards
the purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) for
the first out fire engine. The cost of the TIC
chosen is $9,400.00. The letter states
volunteers plan to have several events to raise
$2,000.00 for this purchase. In addition,
homeowners assistance will be requested in making
this purchase. They would appreciate any funds
the auxiliary would donate. Funds will also be
budgeted in the Fire Dept./CSD account for the next
Fiscal year which begins on July 1, 2011. (See
letter and e-mails for more details.) The
auxiliary’s donation was discussed. It
was proposed that $5,000 be earmarked to be donated
towards the purchase of the TIC. The funds
would be provided when the TIC is purchased.
Dave Delay - Request for donations to
purchase new plastic tables, several odds and ends
and a new vacuum for the clubhouse. The new
tables will be used as extra tables when needed for
functions at the park and stored in the shed there.
It was decided the vacuum would be stored in the
auxiliary storage shed and used only by auxiliary
members at our functions due to the breakage and
missing vacuums previously purchased by the
auxiliary.
Purchase of Miscellaneous Items - A
new rack for the dishwasher and a new rack for the
oven. A search will be performed to locate
these items in the clubhouse kitchen before a
purchase is made.
Carol Bornhorst made the motion to accept the
proposed 2011 budget and donations. Debbie
Holden seconded the motion. A vote of
attending auxiliary members approved the proposed
2011 budget and donations.
Auxiliary Donations - Georgia Knutsen
prepared a list of auxiliary contributions that was
mailed as an insert with the WACC newsletter.
This list was compiled to make homeowners more aware
of the auxiliary’s support to our community.
This will aid in a membership drive.

MINUTES OF THE LAWCC AUXILIARY BOARD MEETING
January 3, 2011
Cyndy Horn’s Home
The following members were present: Georgia
Knutsen, Cyndy Horn, Judy Martin, Rita Isbell,
Bonnie Sloan, Adrienne Fagalde, Carol Young and
Debbie Holden.
The meeting was called to order by President,
Georgia Knutsen at 10:15 a.m.
The minutes from the last board meeting were
approved as read.
Georgia headed the meeting with Cyndy taking over
officially as President at the January 17, 2011
General Meeting. Georgia provided historical
background concerning the time the new President
assumes official duties. In 1989, officers
were installed in July and it was determined that
July was too busy. The auxiliary decided to
move the time frame to January. More recently,
the time frame was moved to November due to the
number of members leaving for the winter.
The board decided in reviewing the by-laws at the
November 18, 2010 meeting that Article 5.3 of our
by-laws would be followed and the new term of office
would be effective as of the January meeting.
Georgia and Cyndy decided Cyndy would assume
Presidential duties at the January 17, 2011 General
Meeting.
Treasurer’s Report: The 12 month CD
($11,299.93) comes due at the end of January.
There are six months remaining on the 18 month CD
($4,497.89). The checking account contains
$11,759.01. Inventory Assets equal $2,662.15.
Total assets equal $30,281.73. The
Category Detail Report for 2010 was discussed.
See reports for details.

paid half of the cost which equals $442.50.
Budget Committee - Debbie Holden and Carol
Young were members of the Budget Committee.
The board and the Budget Committee discussed the
proposed budget for 2011. Adrienne Fagalde
made the motion to accept the 2011 proposed budget
with Debbie Holden seconding the motion. The
proposed 2011 budget was accepted. Bonnie
Sloan will present the 2011 proposed budget to the
auxiliary members at the January 17, 2011 General
Meeting.
Fire Department - The Auxiliary received a
request from Chief Randy Fluke, West Almanor Fire
Department, for a donation towards the purchase of a
Thermal Imaging Camera (TIC) for the first out fire
engine. The cost of the TIC chosen is
$9,400.00. The letter states volunteers plan
to have several events to raise $2,000.00 for this
purchase. In addition, homeowners assistance
will be requested in making this purchase.
They would appreciate any funds the auxiliary would
donate. Funds will also be budgeted in the
Fire Dept./CSD account for the next Fiscal year
which begins on July 1, 2011. (See letter and
e-mails for more details.) The auxiliary’s
donation was discussed. In the
2010 budget, $6,000 was designated for Auxiliary
projects and only $498.75 was used. In the
2011 budget, $8,000 is designated as Auxiliary
Projects. It was proposed that $5,000 be
earmarked to be donated towards the purchase of the
TIC. The funds would be provided when the TIC
is purchased. Bonnie will present the proposed
donation at the auxiliary’s General Meeting on
January 17, 2011.

welcome cards to new part-time residents. It
was suggested to include the auxiliary calendar,
list of officers and committees; LAW website, Mercy
Air information and other pertinent LAW information
in the Welcome Baskets.
Old Business:
Auxiliary Newsletter - Georgia distributed a
list of auxiliary contributions she compiled to make
homeowners more aware of the auxiliary’s support to
