CAMP - The Camp season is slowly coming to an end - kids are back in school and the days are getting shorter. There is still a lot going on though, so continue to refer to your calendar or the Turner website. This weekend we have the District Golf Outing (first one was cancelled due to weather) followed by an authentic German Dinner presented by Sue Potthast and her crew. Come on down and join us for the festivities. On Sunday morning we will have our final Cottage Owners meeting (9:00 New/10:00 All). At the meeting we will recap the Summer, you will hear from our Committee Leads and there will be an election of officers for next season. We look forward to seeing everyone down there. The Pool remains open on a strictly volunteer basis - with a sign- up genie to volunteer your time. On the Turner Facebook page and the Turner website you will find a link to the sign-up genie as well as the Rules and Regulations for the Pool for the remainder of the season. Look forward to seeing you out at Camp - Cottage Owner President - Cory Litza

STATE MANDATED COTTAGE CLEAN UP
Attention Cottage owners:
The State of Illinois has various agencies that oversee the safe operation of
“Campgrounds.” Illinois Turner Camp falls in this category. As such, we (Camp
leadership as well ALL cottage owners) are responsible for ensuring that ALL buildings
and their surrounding areas, including cottages, are maintained in a safe, clean, and
orderly manner. This includes removal of moss on roofs and overgrowth which provides
areas for animals to hide and/or nest and bugs to accumulate. In addition, the State is
also looking at; broken windows, torn screens, structural damage to the cottage and
adjoining area, that creates an unsafe environment for others.
Earlier this summer, the State employee who reviewed our facility identified several
cottages that had an overabundance of items (grills, toys, junk, etc.) that, in their view,
represented an unacceptable safety hazard to the safe operation of the facility.
Although we were “flagged” by the State, we were fortunate to receive a warning rather
than be fined for these incidents. The citations contained a short period of time to
correct the issues, and we were required to send pictures to the State verifying the
conditions were rectified. However, the “flagging” does cause ITC leadership to remind
all cottage owners of their obligation to maintain their cottage and surrounding areas in
a safe, neat, and orderly manner.
This fall, ITC leadership will be conducting a “walk-through” review of all areas of Camp
to identify any cottages that have issues that need to be addressed in accordance with
State of Illinois requirements and ITC’s Rules and Regulations. For any cottages that
are flagged, the cottage owner will receive a written notice indicating the issues to be
rectified and will be given a period of time to address the issue(s) before any penalties
or fines are assessed by ITC. Any fines which are assessed by the State of Illinois to
ITC will be passed thru to the cottage owner.
Our goal is to ensure that any future review(s) by the State will result in only positive
results and feedback. We appreciate your cooperation.
Illinois District
