Dear fellow members,

With deep sadness I have to tell you we lost a great friend of Lake Underwood on Monday.  Justin O’Donnell passed away.  I know most of you know he fought a long battle with cancer.  I’m told he worked right up until the very end.  I’m not surprised.

Justin was involve in every aspect of the club throughout his long membership here.  The list goes on and on.  He got us involved in the Forestry Stewardship program.  He took on monumental clubhouse and grounds improvements.  Many times trail mowing or road maintenance would get done unseen by most of us because he was up there doing it during the week.  Justin took a lead role not only for the club but the community as well in property leasing for gas exploration, which eventually lead to our involvement in the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance; the lease had the best property owner protections around while also giving us very large bonus payments.  He was involved with the ecological committee and dam improvements.  Justin was always looking out for the club.  A few years ago he saw the roof for sale at B&E scoops and suggested we take it and make a picnic pavilion.  With his lead we did it.  He loved hunting and fishing, and even pancake flipping at the Sunday breakfast for the 125 club anniversary.

All this said, the board of trustees recently elected to recognize Justin with an honorary membership.  The hope was that we could present it to him at the annual picnic; that wasn’t meant to be.  He certainly was deserving and I know he would have appreciated it.

He was committed to the preservation and improvement of the Lake Underwood Nimrod Club and leaves us with a better place for it.

At the annual meeting this year, Justin expressed how much he treasured Lake Underwood and this friendship with fellow members.

We will dearly miss you Justin

Sincerely,
Chuck Westgate

FYI – A memorial will be discussed by family to be done at a later date.

Boat/Equipment Cleaning Video

As discussed at our recent Annual Meeting, below is a video showing how to clean, drain, and dry our boats and water equipment to help prevent introducing invasive species into Lake Underwood.

A link to this video is also posted under a new tab on the website called “Lake Health”.

Clubhouse Status

The clubhouse is now closed for the winter. The water is shut off and bookings are by individual request and without running water.  For any rentals during the winter (1 Dec through 31 Mar), a $15 per night surcharge will added to help cover fuel costs.

WCO Lake Inspections

This note is to once again bring to everyone’s attention the importance of maintaining proper fishing licenses, boat registration and safety equipment while out on the lake.

September 7th, Lake Underwood was again visited by a PA Waterways Conservation Officer (WCO or aka…Fish Warden).  During his inspection, the Officer informed us that they are now following a new state enforcement program for private lakes and we should expect to see them visiting our lake more frequently.  He claimed to have visited Lake Underwood about ten times this year and has issued a ticket on the lake as recently as this past July.

Please spread the word to your families and guests so everyone can continue to have a positive and safe experience out on the lake.

Thank you to Kirk Moir for talking with the WCO and passing this information for all of us!

Happy boating and fishing,

Matt O’Donnell
