Wow! We have basically reached the middle of the camping season already. Unfor-

tunately, the weather has not been the most cooperative so far this year. Well any-

way, your committees are hard at work planning a fun filled Holiday weekend

capped off by our spectacular fireworks display on July 7th. I ask that all members

be courteous to staff and security and if there are any problems, we should be able

to get them solved for you. Please report any maintenance problems to the office

so our crew can be notified. I would also like to thank all the volunteers (you all

know who you are) who have given their time and efforts to ensure that all members

of MCA have fun activities for the camping season. The Liaisons and Chairs of our

committees will brief you as to what is happening in the campground in their arti-

cles. I want to wish everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July weekend and would like

to stress the following: Please sign your guests in and pay your $10.00. It is not

much for what MCA provides and our resources are taxed to the limit as you all are

aware. Be mindful of extinguishing your campfire as you retire for the evening or

leave the campground. Turn down or turn off air conditioning when not used to con-

serve the electric which you pay for. Please be aware of your facilities and comfort

stations, and make sure that nobody is damaging what you have paid for. Report

any suspicious activity to security. Please remember that we have a lot of children

in our campground and “Do Not” exceed the speed limit of 10 mph. Last but not

least, HAVE A GOOD TIME!

Okay, now that I have said all the things I am supposed to say, I would like to now

thank the membership of MCA whom I have had the privilege of serving as a mem-

ber of the BOD since 2006, and to my fellow BOD members over the years who had

faith in me to allow me to be the Secretary, the Vice President and your President

for the last two years as well as being on a bunch of committees. I will be retiring

from the BOD and not seeking reelection to my section.

Welcome to 4th of July Weekend at MCA!

As usual for this issue, warnings will be plentiful. We have the highest number of

people in camp, the highest number of incidents and the most damage of the year

during this weekend. We also have some amazing memory making moments!

Cookouts, games, laughter, s'mores and hot dogs over the fire. All being wonderful

and full of fun. Please take advantage of the festivities this weekend: The Parade,

our Youth Fun Fair, the Fireworks and Dance. Volunteers are taking time out of their

family weekend to give you some extra fun for the weekend. Your participation in

the committee events this weekend goes a very long way to helping them provide

activities and improvements.

The Board continues to work toward improving the campground, we are working dili-

gently on the need for a new well. We have not finalized how that will be funded,

but please prepare yourself in the event an additional assessment may be needed.

The well is an imperative project for us over the next few months.

As always, hope you have an amazing weekend in our campground. If you have any

questions or need any help with anything, please feel free to reach out to me. You

can always leave a message with Michele who knows how to hunt me down (she’s

rather good at it, too)!

REMINDERS:

• You are responsible for your guests’, please make sure they are aware of

the rules.

• There is NO excessive water usage permitted, no washing of trailers, cars,

golf carts, etc.

Be aware of the rules of driving your golf carts and/or golf course

Maintenance vehicles in camp.

Make yourself aware of the garbage, trash dumpsters and roll-offs. There is

instruction in this newsletter as to what you can throw away and in which

container. WE ARE MONITORING and you will be called to correct your

action AND receive a fine.

Please be aware of the fireworks laws even though the laws have changed,

the permission within the campground has not changed. The Board has not

granted permission for the use of the consumer grade fireworks.

• SAFETY first, remind your children and guests to be extremely cautious,

there are many guests and others driving in camp. The roads are full, the

pool will be full and we all need to be respectful of each other!

Happy 4th of July to all!

The month of July brings our Campground into full swing and I hope everyone is en-

joying the newly completed projects. We will continue work on our “Wish List” going

into the new year and believe that additional improvements will be possible. Our

Audit committee continues to do a great job on a monthly basis with auditing our

Corporate and Committee Accounts. I truly appreciate each and every one of our

volunteers who spend many hours completing the checks and balances.

During the ”Annual Meeting” on July 8th, we will receive the final Financial State-

ments and report from McGill Power Bell on our performance in Fiscal year 2017.

With this new firm in place, I believe we have taken a step forward and I look for-

ward to receiving a positive report.

As a reminder, if there are any questions or concerns regarding the auditing process

or our Budget preparations, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

With that said, I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July Celebration with all of

our camp family and friends!

F RO M B S E C T I O N Well, here it is 4th of July already and the summer is just going way too fast. I would

like to impress upon you to please follow MCA rules and inform your guests of them.

YOU are ultimately responsible for their actions. It will be very crowded in camp all

weekend and for our fireworks display so please be courteous toward one another,

take your time and enjoy a safe and fun holiday. Our fireworks display is scheduled

for July 7th, and the make up day if needed is July 14th.

This will be my last newsletter article as I have decided not to run for B section rep

this year, I would like to thank those who have supported me these past 9 years. I

have thoroughly enjoyed serving the MCA membership. I will support and help the

new B Section Rep any way I can.

Again, I say thank you.

We have had a few glitch-

es this year with weather,

malfunctioning equip-

ment and the usual

breakdowns of every-

thing. Jon and his Crew,

Dylan, Dave, Tyler, Scott

and Ocean have stepped

up to each challenge and

have done a remarkable

job. Susan, our custodi-

an, has kept on top of our

comfort stations. The

new ladies room is open,

we have finished the A-

Frame cement project

and are working on finish-

ing up the landscaping

around it. We will be in-

stalling a railing behind

the war memorial, so

please use the ramp to

the store or the steps to

the dining hall. We will

also be installing a railing

on the steps leading up

to the pool. The new

lighting has been delayed

as we are waiting for

brackets for the lights

which were back ordered.

Hopefully, this should be

ready for the holiday

weekend. As work is con-

tinuing in some areas, we

are a little behind, but will

catch up soon.

Happy 4th of July and Celebration of our Country’s Independence! I am looking for-

ward to continuing this great camping season as your C-Section Representative. If

you have any questions, concerns, or problems, please stop and see me at C-12.

Please remember to pay attention to all of the posted speed limits and street signs

and be courteous and aware of all MCA’s children enjoying the facilities; they are

our “FUTURE”.

All of our committees are still in need of volunteers, even if you could just help out a

few hours one weekend, it would be greatly appreciated. I am also your Audit,

Budget and Wi-Fi Liaison and welcome any suggestions and appreciate your sup-

port at MCA.

Cassie Hellmann –

F RO M H S E C T I O N FYI - The Pennsylvania vehicle code 75 amendment of 2017 that became effective

January of 2018 has provided a definition in registration of vehicles, vehicles ex-

empt from registration and providing for operation of golf carts.

A golf cart as defined by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva-

nia approved November 29, 2017 is: A self-propelled motor vehicle designed and

manufactured for the transportation of persons or equipment for sporting, mainte-

nance or recreational purposes that is not capable of exceeding a speed of 20

miles per hour.

Any self-propelled golf cart used for the transportation of persons or equipment for

sporting, maintenance or recreational purpose are exempt from registration.

Please be aware of the fireworks laws.

Even though the laws have changed,

the permission within the campground has not changed.

The Board has not granted permission for the use of the consumer grade fireworks.

House Bill 542 was signed into law on October 30, 2017. Under the new law, the Fireworks Act of 1939 was re-

pealed and replaced in its entirety. The complete version of the new law can be viewed at: http://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Business_Industry/fireworks/Documents/New%20Fireworks%20Law%20-

%20Effective%20October%2030%202017.pdf

However, the questions and answers below highlight the most noteworthy changes. Q: Which fireworks are Pennsylvania residents now allowed to purchase and use?

Consumers can now purchase and use “Class C” or “consumer-grade” fireworks that include firecrackers,

Roman Candles, bottle rockets, and similar fireworks that contain a maximum of 50 milligrams of explosive

material. The expansion includes those fireworks that were previously only available to out-of-state residents.

“Display fireworks,” which are classified as including salutes that contain more than two grains or

130 milligrams of explosive materials, and professional-grade aerial shells containing more than 60 grams of

Pyrotechnic compositions, are still only to be used by professionals with a permit from the municipality where

the display will take place.

Q: Who can purchase fireworks?

Anyone 18 years of age or older can purchase them.

Q: What are the restrictions on where they can be used?

· *They cannot be ignited or discharged on a public or private property without express permission of the

· property owner.

*They cannot be discharged from or within a motor vehicle or building.

*They cannot be discharged toward a motor vehicle or building.

*They cannot be discharged within 150 feet of an occupied structure.

*They cannot be discharged while the person is under the influence of alcohol, a controlled substance, or

another drug.

Also, it is recommended that you check with your local municipality,

as you may also be subject to applicable local ordinances.

Q: Where can the fireworks be purchased?

They can be purchased at any licensed facility, including temporary ones. The licenses are issued by the

Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Examples of temporary facilities include tents or other structures

found in parking lots. These temporary structures can sell fireworks between the dates of June 15-July 8,

and December 21-January 2 each year.

Happy 4th of July MCA Campers!

The Social Committee has had many changes over the last couple months. Due to

the lack of volunteers, we had to give up Friday Night Bingo. The Teens have taken

over to keep it going for those who love to play. What does that mean for Social? It

means that we have lost our main funding sources that would pay for Social events

all summer long and into the fall. We are doing our best to raise funds with other

means. We will be having donation dances to keep some of the dances going be-

tween the ones we are paying for. Please remember this when you come to a

dance, the DJ’s or bands will be playing for your donations only, so please be gener-

ous. On July 7, Social will still be doing the parade and the dance that evening. On

July 14, we will have our Luau dance from 9pm til 12am at the A-Frame. Dress up

and join in on our Hawaiian fun! Tickets will be $5.00 per person.

Please come out and join in our activities. If anyone has any time to donate to

Social, please see one of us. Thank you and enjoy your weekend!

To all my fellow campers,

My name is Tim Lipinski of lot G-60. A lot of you may not know my name but I am sure you know of my lot. It was where the

terrible fire within our campground started last year on July 24th. As devastating as it could be to have that happen to my fami-

ly, family members, and fellow campers beside us that I consider family, to see our weekend homes essentially burned to a

scrap heap of metal. My only thought at the time and until this day is that “We thankfully all got to call our insurance compa-

nies and not a funeral home!” If it wasn't for my uncle Tim Murray (G-61) waking up, I am not sure how much more devastation

it would have created, and possibly causing fatalities. His quick actions and calm demeanor saved lives and multiple other

properties. There were several other campers that were sleeping in their trailers that were burned down or next to catch fire. I

know he doesn't want to be called a Hero, but he is, and should be commended for his actions.

From the morning of when this all occurred until now, I cant even begin to articulate into words the gratitude for all that people

have done for not only my family, but everyone else that was affected from the fire. Debbie Calahan from the campground

store brought down water and coffee for the firefighters. She also brought down food for us later in the day. Board members

took time out of their days to make sure that the area was blocked off to give us some private time as we sifted through some

of the rubble. Jon Bluedorn had to work extra hours to coordinate some of the clean up and electricity getting tied back into the

grid. Sierra Siebert has been a rock star along with Alice McLaughlin, Ellie Christopher and Cassie Hellmann from trying to get

us donations to setting up the fundraiser for all of us. A very heartfelt thank you to all that helped organize, volunteer, or do-

nate to the fundraiser. It was an amazing gesture to see how much effort was put in to make such a nice event. It was very

humbling to see the masses of people show their support in our time of need. If I didn't say your name, please don't take it as

an insult, as there were many people that stepped up that I don't even know their names, and we are thankful for your help

just as much as the peoples names that I know.

I know for all of us affected there is still a long road ahead to get our campsites back up to normalcy. With all the compassion

and kindness shown to us by our fellow campers, it keeps us driving forward to get our campsite complete once again.

Soon enough we will get there, because in the end “We are stronger than the storm!”

Forever Grateful,

The Lipinski's G-60

I would like to thank everyone who helped with the fundraiser and I appreciate that the board allowed this to happen. It really

helped all of us that were so devastated by this fire. I am so grateful for everyone’s help and am so thankful there were no

lives harmed or taken. The donations received will help each of us to continue to move forward and help to rebuild our camp

homes. Thanks again to everyone for being so kind and generous!

Bob Butella G-53 / Now A-63

The Rich and Silvius Families of G-54 would like to thank everyone involved for all of the support during the loss of our trailer

and personal belongings. The fundraiser was awesome, thank you to all of the great people that volunteered their time and

effort to make it an amazing success. May God Bless You All.

On behalf of my family and I, I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers after the fire that destroyed our

camp, we truly appreciate everyone one of you. Thank you for everyone that attended the Pig Roast Fundraiser to help those

of us that were affected by the fire. Although we did have insurance, replacing everything that you had originally bought and

accumulated over time, all at once is very costly. The money raised will certainly help to finish making camp our cozy get away,

again.

Also, thank you to everyone that helped organize & volunteered with the Pig Roast. Your generosity really means a lot. We truly

appreciate everyone’s thoughts, prayers, help, donations and for being there for our family. It is awesome to know that when

disaster strikes that we can count on our camp families to have our backs.

Thank you again, the Brink Family

Stronger Than The Storm!

We couldn’t thank everyone enough for all of the support and efforts that have been put into the

fundraiser to help us move forward. We are so very grateful to have so many wonderful people

that we can really call our “Camp Family” So much appreciated!
