        Happy Halloween WBCC!

 

 

         The day has come for me to say goodbye for one last time. As I mentioned, this is a bitterswet goodbye. I have learned so much

          during my tenure as your campground manager and will truly miss seeing your wonderful faces. I will miss seeing the trees turning green and

          the kids begin to play up on the hill. I will miss hearing about winter adventures and sharing in life sorrows. Most of all, I will miss hearing

        "When's the water turning on?". Okay, I won't miss that last one! In all seriousness, my philosophy in life is to much sure I leave a place better

          than when I came, and from your wonderful cards, texts, and phone calls, I know I have accomplished that here.

 

           Thank you for having me! And I will be sure to swing by from time to time to check in on you because you all hold a special place in my heart!

 

          Desirae

         Former WBCC Manager and life long friend!

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

         As of 4:18 pm, the MN Room size increase passed with a vote of 381 yays to 53 nays. This means a few things.

 

        1. MN Rooms can be 289 sq. ft. Windows must nmeet egress regulations and make up 25% of the surface area on

             all exposed sides. All setback requirements must be followed.

 

        2. They can be used as a sleeping area.

 

        3. The major appliance prohibition is over.

 

        For those that are worried what this will do. No, we will not be designated as a mobile home park. We are not a year

       round establishment, therefore, we cannot ever be designated a mobile home park. For those worried about major appliances,

       look at what your neighbor has in their out buildings. There are fridges, freezers, washers and dryers, and air conditioners in many

       of them. Yes, we know they are there! The amount of electricity that these items will use isn't much more than

       what you pay now. Remember, your electric bill from June through August runs about $150,000. The pools draw a ton of electricity! 

 

 

        My last day in the office was going to be today! But due to a contractor obligation, I will be in on Friday to accommadate them. I will

      also be finishing up a few other last minute things! 

 

 

        Thank you,

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       10/18/2025

 

 

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

        We are officially blown out! Comfort Station 1 and 5 will remain open until November 24th.

 

 

        We want to remind owners once again that lots are private property. We are getting reports of people

        walking through others' lots. I would like to remind people, there are more than just the campground cameras

        out in the campground!

 

 

       Cluster 1 owners who have not paid their assessment or made payment plan (interest plans only) arrangements

      should resolve this by Monday, the 20th. Otherwise, we will be filing the liens when we return to the office on Tuesday.

 

 

        Office hours are now the fall hours. We are closed Sundays and Mondays. We will continue to be open the rest of the

      week. Boneyard hours will be the same as office hours for the reminder of the time the office is open.

 

 

        Thank you,

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     10/11/2025 

 

      Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

          Laundry, Comfort Stations 2, 3, 4 are all closed for the season as of today! 

     

         This is the last weekend with water! On Tuesday morning, we will shut the wells down

         to allow the water to drain out of the pipes overnight to make blowout smoother.

 

        Tuesday: Blow out the sewer lines. Comfort Stations 2, 3, 4, will also be blown out. 

         Wednesday: Cluster 2 lines will be blown out

        Thursday: Cluster 1 lines will be blown out

 

 

         Comfort Stations 1 and 5 will remain open until November 24th. The electricity will also

          remain on until November 24th.

 

 

 

         Cluster 1 Electrical: We still have posts to put in! We also have one more very important

         step: INSPECTION.  We don't know when they will be here to inspect the grid but they

         be here to do it sometime before we shut off the electricity! 

 

 

        Thank you,

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager

 

 

 

 

     10/7/25

 

 

      Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

      Laundry is going to be winterized on Friday, October 10th (a day earlier than expected). We

     begin to strip and clean the three comfort stations that do not remain open the same day! 

 

 

      The office will be closed tomorrow, Oct. 8th, due to prior engagements.

 

 

      We went over the list of nonpayment for the electrical assessment. We will be sending out

      letters this week to those who have not paid the assessment. This will be your final warning!

      We will file the liens needed on all properties who remain unpaid.

 

 

      Blowout will begin on Tuesday, October 14th. We start with the sewerline.

 

 

       MN Room vote: We would like to have the votes back by October 29th as we would like to

      announce the results before we close the office for the year! 

 

 

      Thank you,

      Desirae

      WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

     10/3/2025 

 

 

       Good Morning WBCC!!!! 

    

 

      Time to pop the champagne corks and celebrate! As of about 10 am yesterday morning

     the Cluster 1 Electricity project is finished! We managed to get most of the main units switched over

     to new grid. There were a few that we couldn't do! 

     

      We are dealing with the old pedestals as we write

     this! We are also dealing with speed bumps and any signage that is down. 

 

     We want to thank the Cluster 1 owners for their patience during this project. We know it was

     frustrating and probably a little annoying, but the results will speak for themselves. So seriously,

     we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

 

 

     End of year things:

 

      We are about a week and half out from blow out!

 

       We will begin to put the ammenties like the Frisbee Golf, tennis, and pickle ball away for the

        season next week.

  

       October 11th- The laundry doors will be locked along with CS # 2, 3, 4 (the Clubhouse). 

 

               

      We would also like to apologize for the state of the comfort stations at this time. This is the time year

      management takes over those duties and with being sick and the electrical upgrade wrapping up, we have

      quite busy. We will be dealing with them after the morning rush this morning!

 

 

     Thank you,

      Desirae

     WBCC Manager

  

 

 

 

 

    

    10/1/2025

 

 

      Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

        First things first! Yes, we are holding another restriction amendment vote. This one will

       be regarding MN Rooms and Screened Enclosures.

 

      

        The current restrictions reads as follows:

 

        iv. Screened enclosures: Purchased or constructed of aluminum screen, canvas,

         or plastic have a maximum size of 144 square feet (as in 12’ x 12’).

 

        v.  Wooden enclosures: Built of wood, screen and/or windows on all sides. Maximum

           size of 144 square feet, 10’ high, solid roof with pitch strong enough to hold ice and snow.

           Major appliances are prohibited. These enclosures are to be used for sitting purposes

           only and not as part of the enclosed living space.  

 

       The proposed language of the restriction amendment will read as follows:

 

        iv. Screened/Wooden enclosures: Purchased or constructed may have a maximum size

          of 289 square feet (as in 17’ x 17’), 10’ high, solid roof with pitch strong enough to hold

          ice and snow. Screened enclosures must have screen on all sides. Wooden/Metal enclosures

          must have windows on all exposed sides that meet all egress regulations for safety.

       We sent out the letters this morning. If you do not receive one please contact us because we

        used the same mailing list as last vote. We tried to catch some of the mistakes but we are sure we

       missed some or made a few new ones. If you can, you will be able to swing in the office to grab a ballot!

        CLUSTER 1 ELECTRICAL UPDATE:

        We are anticipating the final portion to be complete tomorrow. This means the old grid will be

        completely decommissioned. All the old pedestals will have no power to them anymore. We will try to

       get those who are not here plugged into the new pedestal if it is possible!

       Thank you,

       Desirae

      WBCC Manager

    

 

 

 

    9/28/25

   

     Monday 09/29/25 the office will be closed. Our admin Willow has a few appointments

      throughout the day. Thank you for your understanding. Office will be open on Tuesday!

     Desirae

    WBCC Manager

       9/27/2025

 

    

        Desirae is still quite sick. She will be here in the office until 10 am this morning to accommodate

       a few requests. Unfortunately, this illness is kicking her butt! Willow will be in the office tomorrow.

         We are sorry for the inconvenience! Desirae has been lucky to avoid getting sick for about 4 years and

        this round is making up for it.  

 

 

        Thank you for understanding!

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

         9/25/2025

 

    

       The switch was successful! Please make sure you get your unit plugged into the new pedestal!

 

 

        Desirae is not feeling well. The office will closed the reminder of today. She is hoping a day of

       rest and some hot tea will get her back up and running tomorrow!

 

 

         Thank you,

        Desirae

          WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

          9/24/2025

          Good Afternoon WBCC!

          Tomorrow is a big day! We are moving the transformer located on Block 3 and terminating that breaker box.

          It will affect the following lots:

           Block 1 Lots 1-2

           Block 2 Lots 15-20

           Block 3 Lots 22-30

           Block 4 Lots 1-14

           Block 5 Lots 1-19

           Block 6 Lots 7-24

           Block 8 Lots 1-4

           Block 11 Lots 1-7

          This means your double feed will be gone, so make sure you get your unit plugged unit into the new pedestal!

         Thank you,

         Desirae

         WBCC Manager

          

         9/23/2024

All Cluster 1 Owners:

We still have several owners who have not made any payments regarding the electrical assessment.

·        If you have your lot for sale and are waiting for it to sell, the assessment and dues will still need to be paid by        October 1st.

·         If you spoke with Desirae in the spring about being placed on the 6-month same as cash plan, you will be held to the October 1st deadline. (Don’t think you can call corporate and say you didn’t receive the letter regarding it, especially after you placed yourself on the 6-month plan in the spring. Corporate and management communicate on a weekly basis regarding this.)

·        If you are waiting for the work to be done to pay the assessment, the main grid will be completed by October 3rd, therefore you will be held to the October 1st deadline!

·        If there is a balance remaining as of October 7th, a lien will be placed on the property.

If you cannot meet the October 1st deadline, we suggest calling Breezy Point Real Estate at 218-562-7129. Rick Stoltman will assist you in getting on the interest plans available through them. Remember, there is no early payoff penalty regarding these plans.

      

              Thank you,

              Desirae

              WBCC Manager

        9/19/2025

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

        Docks will be removed around the first or second week of October.

      

       Cluster 1 Electric Update:

          The new section has been completed and the new pedestals are active! Half

          of this will remain double fed for the next week, the other half will be double fed

          until October 3rd!

          Make sure you get your unit plugged into the new grid before you lose your other feed.

       

          Thank you,

          Desirae

          WBCC Manager

        9/12/2025

            Good Morning WBCC!

         

            Office is closed for the reminder of the day. Management is not feeling very well

           (tummy bug). If there is something pressing, we have the cellphone. Otherwise

            we will be in tomorrow (hopefully)!

           Thank you,

           Desirae

            WBCC Manager

       

    

          9/9/2025

 

 

          Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

          Cluster 1 update: The Plumwood box was decommisioned yesterday! If the electricians

         could plug your unit it, they did. If your wire was buried, or too short, they did not plug you

          back in. See the previous post to see which lots lost their old feed please.

 

 

          We will welcome votes still but........

 

           By an overwhelming majority, the Restriction amendment to increase the maximum shed

          passed. As of 12pm this afternoon, we had 401 yes votes and 32 no votes. This means

            the maximum shed size owners can have is 120 sq. feet (as in 10'x12'). The roof pitch must

           be capable of hold snow load.

 

 

           CAMPGROUND VOLUNTEERS: If you were a person who helped management

             throughout the season, you are invited for a pizza party on Sept 19th at 12 pm. This

            includes committee members, campground employees, water volunteers, boneyard

            volunteers, picnic volunteers, and if you ran one of the events (Poker Run or Halloween).

            You are truly the people who makes the season run smoothly and we would like to thank

             you in the best way possible: FOOD!

 

 

             Thank you,

             Desirae

              WBCC Manager

 

 

 

 

 

 

       9/6/2025

 

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

        The office will closed Monday, September 8th due to prior engagements. Management will be around

       the campground in the morning for the power up of the latest section in Cluster 1.

 

 

         On September 8th, we will also be addressing the electrical issue in the Fawn Lane area. This will affect

         the middle lots and perhaps some of the outer lots. We have to power down the tranformer to check out

         some of the connections. We suspect one of them maybe loose. We will be leveling that transformer at the

          same time.

 

   

          Thank you,

          Desirae

           WBCC Manager  

 

 

 

 

       9/5/2025

       Good Afternoon WBCC!

        Management has a minor family emergency and needs to leave early. We will be back in the morning!

      Thank you,

       Desirae

       WBCC Manager

        9/3/2025

 

 

       Good Morning WBCC!

 

       It is time for the end of year stuff. If you have a spigot that is leaky, please call the office to get on

       the spigot list. If you spoke with management about your spigot, please remind us! We have had a

       very busy season this year.  

 

    

      The back middle row of the boneyard still needs to be addressed. We are asking owners to remove

      their items in the next week so we can make each spot 12 ft wide. We will work on that the week of

      September 15th! So please move you stuff by then, thank you.

 

 

       Cluster 2 pool timeline looks like we will have the pool open until next week. The spa and the wader pool

       will close on September 7th.

 

      

       Please make sure you vote on the restriction amendment by the end of September! Whether you are for it

       or against it! Vote even if you don't care!!!! Just......VOTE!

 

 

        

         Thank you,

         Desirae

         WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

 

       9/2/2025

 

               Here is the final update on Cluster 1 Electricity:

 

Cluster 1 Electrical Update

Finally! We are about to wrap up the remainder of the Electrical Upgrade. We promised the grid would be completed by October and we definitely delivered (Okay, October 3rd…). After the main grid is finished, there will be more work to do!

What is happening for this week:

          Final section of Phase 4

 will affect the following lots (September 2nd- 5th)

                   Block 1 Lots 44-53

                   Block 3 Lots 9-13

                   Block 6 Lots 14-23

                   Block 7 Lots 7-11

On Monday, September 8th, the existing breaker box located on Block 6 between lots 13-14 will be decommissioned. The old pedestals will go dead. Owners should have arrangements to make sure their main unit has power at minimum. This will affect the following lots:

          Block 1 Lots 36-63

          Block 3 Lots 8-21

          Block 6 Lots 8-23

          Block 7 Lots 1-20

          Block 10 Lots 1-12

This will mark the end of Phase 4! The project will be near 80% complete.

 

The week of September 8th will be a week where they will start pulling the old pedestals and doing some of the work they have contracted with owners. We will be placing the 4” x 4” posts behind the spigot line to insure stability!

 

 

PHASE 5- The Final One!

This will upgrade the remaining sites and decommission the last two breaker boxes. This means all old pedestals will be dead at the completion of the phase!!!!!

 

Section 1 will affect the following lots (September 15th-19th):

          Block 1 Lots 1-10

          Block 2 Lots 1-4 & 15-20

          Block 4 Lots 1-5 & 12-14

          Block 11 Lots 1-2

 

Section 2 will affect the following lots (September 22nd-26th):

          Block 2 Lots 9-14

          Block 3 Lots 26-33

          Block 4 Lots 6-11

 

After this Section, the breaker box located on block 3 between lots 29-30 will be decommissioned!

This will affect the following lots:

          Block 1 Lots 1-2                    Block 2 Lots 15-20

          Block 3 Lots 22-30               Block 4 Lots 1-7 & 11-14

          Block 5 Lots 1-19                  Block 6 Lots 1-7 & 24

          Block 8 Lots 1-4                    Block 11 Lots 1-7

 

 

 

Section 3 will affect the following lots (September 29th-October 3rd):

          Block 1 Lots 11-26

          Block 2 Lots 5-8

After this Section, the breaker box located on block 2 between lots 8-9 will be decommissioned!

This will kill the reminder of the old grid. There will be no power to any of the old pedestals!

 

We will continue to bring in black dirt through blow-out week. Any leftover landscaping issues will be addressed in the spring. This includes landscaping around the new breaker racks.

     Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

       Happy Labor Day to everyone! Today admin will be taking a half day due to the holiday.

 

 

        If you have any ballots to turn in, there is a black box next to the office door.

 

 

        Feel free to drop them there!

 

 

       Have an amazing day everyone!

 

 

      Thank you,

      Desirae

      Camground Manager 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      8/31/25

 

 

      Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

       Today our admin will be taking a half-day! The office will be closed after 2:00.

      

 

      Thank you,

       Desirae

       WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         8/30/2025 

 

 

 

          Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

            Make sure you come see us at the Pavilion for pulled pork and coleslaw! From 4pm -6pm

 

 

           On a more serious note: We are not sure who has been doing this, but we know it is most likely a guest of

           an owner. Most likely adolescent and female! We have someone who thinks it is funny to wet toilet paper

           and throw wads of it on the walls and ceilings of the Comfort Stations. CS# 1 was first, then CS #3.

            As you know, we will start locking comfort stations if this type of behavior continues!

 

 

 

             Thank you

             Desirae

             WBCC Manager

 

 

 

 

         8/27/2025

 

 

         Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

         Can you already believe we are heading into LABOR DAY WEEKEND?

 

         Where did this season go? It seems just last week we were offering donuts and coffee on

         beautiful May morning! Now we prepping for end of season...

 

 

         First things first! We are having our annual Labor Day picnic on Saturday August 30th

          from 4pm to 6pm. We will be serving pulled pork (and a limited amount of pulled chicken

          for those that may not care for pork). We will have coleslaw, chips, and cookies! As usual, it

          will be BYOB (bring your own beverage)!

 

        

         The ballots are coming in! The faster we receive them, the faster we can announce the decision.

         Remember, we must get 376 total votes to either the negative or the positive to make the vote valid.

         If you do not have a ballot, there is one in the office for you.

 

 

         We are working getting out the end-of-season schedule out. Cluster 1 pool will mark the beginning

          of shut down. We will begin to close the Cluster 1 pool a couple of days after Labor Day. We

          will have the schedule posted before the weekend.

 

 

        CLUSTER 1: Everyone recieved either a balance sheet and promissary notes, or a letter stating we

           have no record of payment or a payment plan. For those that recieved the latter, the payment plan

          options will be limited to the interest plans available through Breezy Point Reality. Owners will need to

          call Rick Stoltman at 218-562-7129 if they need a payment plan at this time. If you are capable of making

          the payment in full, please make the payment by October 1st! If you did not receive either, it means you are

           paid in full!

 

 

        I guess it is time for me to address the giant elephant in the room....

 

       Yes, this will be my last season with you guys!

 

        The past four years have been amazing even with the ups and downs. I want to thank everyone

        for giving me the opportunity to serve as your manager. You have allowed me to grow so much

        as a manager and as a person! Please know that this is a bittersweet goodbye as I will miss seeing

         your faces and hearing about you throughout the summer but the time has come for me to get my

        big girl job! This will not be the last time you will see me though. I will pop in to say hello, but this time as your friend

         .....as long as you will have me! 

 

  

         Thank you,

          Desirae

          WBCC Manager 

          

 

 

          

          

 

 

    8/21/2025

     Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

 

     There has been a slight change to the lectrical plan for next week.

 

     The crew has decided to add block 3 Lots 9-13 to this section.

 

     We apologize for the short notice, but the wire route works out better from this tranformer!

 

 

 

    Thank you,

     Desirae

    WBCC Manager

  

 

 

  8/18/2025

 

 

 

     Good Morning WBCC! It is damp out there!

 

 

      Couple things this week:

 

      We have a mass mailing going out this week. In one letter will be the Promissary Notes

        and a balance reminder for those on the 5 month plan in Cluster 1. In another will be a

       reminder to those who have not made any payments/arrangements regarding the assessment

        Cluster 1.

 

       The final letter will be a Restriction change vote regarding one current restriction. Every owner

        in the campground will recieve this letter. Ballots can be returned by mail or in the campground

        office during office hours. If you do not recieve a ballot, your voting rights have been suspended

       due to nonpayment of maintenance fees. These owners will receive a balance statement instead. If

         an owner owns multiple lots, and one is paid and one is not, all voting rights are suspended.

 

       Some of these letters are labelled Current Resident. This is because the program we used to

       create the labels doesn't like multiple names. We promise we know who you are!!!!

 

      If you do not get a ballot and should have, it will be due to an address issue. Please stop in the office

     to double check the address on file and pick up a ballot.

 

 

      DIY Wood Sign Making Party!!!

 

      We have an owner hosting a DIY wood sign making party under the Pavilion on August 29th at 6pm.

     Owners must pre-register for this event. Please visit https://forms.gle/LechoeBWEYs2twQP6

 

      Spread the word!!! Deadline to sign up will be August 24th.

Cluster 1 Electrical Update

We have completed all of block 5, all of block 8, all of block 9, and all of block 10! Block 7 and Block 11 only have a few more sites left to be completed. 

 

What is happening for next week:

Section 3 will affect the following lots (August 18th- 22nd):

 

          Block 3 Lots 14-25

 

          Block 6 Lots 4-13

 

Block 6 Lots 1-3 & 24

This will complete Phase 3! These lots will remain double fed for a period of at least three weeks. At that time, some of the lots in the last three sections will lose the feed to the old pedestals.

 

What is happening in the near future:

          Phase 4 is a short phase! It contains 2 sections. The crew has already marked the white lines. If there is an issue will with their plan, please come see Desirae in the office and she will look at the site and have a discussion to help better suit your needs!

          Section 1 will affect the following lots (August 25th- August 29th):

                   Block 1 Lots 27-43

                   Block 3 1-8

This is “The Cliff” area. If your lot is on the cliff, your box will be at the front of your lot as the crew’s machinery doesn’t operate very well on a slope. This area has a steep slope.

 

 

          Section 2 will affect the following lots (September 2nd- 5th)

 

                   Block 1 Lots 44-53

                   Block 3 Lots 9-13

                   Block 6 Lots 14-23

                   Block 7 Lots 7-11

 

On Monday, September 8th, the existing breaker box located on Block 6 between lots 13-14 will be decommissioned. The old pedestals will go dead. Owners should have arrangements to make sure their main unit has power at minimum. This will affect the following lots:

          Block 1 Lots 36-63

          Block 3 Lots 8-21

          Block 6 Lots 8-23

          Block 7 Lots 1-20

          Block 10 Lots 1-12

This will mark the end of Phase 4! The project will be near 80% complete.

 

Radtke also plans on sending some of the other journeymen he has to do the extra work owners have requested of them during the next few weeks. We are not sure when they will be pulling old pedestals yet.

Grass seed will be limited over the next few weeks as we are ordering them in small orders. We do not want grass seed sitting around over the winter months as it attracts everyone’s favorite winter pests…. rodents!!! We have more black dirt coming in on Monday!

       We are working on the end of year schedule so owners can prepare. (We know the season was very short.....)

       It will come out soon!

         Thank you,

      Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

      The office will be open a half day today! Our staff has a family event this afternoon. Sorry about the short notice!

 

 

       Cluster 1 electrical:

 

         Block 6 lots 1-3 & 24 was scheduled to be completed in this next section. The crew has decided that you will be in

        a different section. You will be in the following week (August 18th).

 

 

 

        Thank you,

          Desirae

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

           We have internet in the office again! To the person near the office who tried to take over our network gate with their

           Netgear WIFI extender, you have been kicked off our network. Thank you for delaying everything this week and get

          your own internet!!!

 

          

          Halloween was a success! Congratulations to Steve Neuman for winning the lot decorating contest. Congratulations to

         all the coloring contest winners and costume contest winners! We would like to encourage those that decorated their lots

         and did not sign up for the contest to do so next year! There were a few lots that could have won the contest but were not

          considered because they did not sign up of the contest. We would also like to encourage more volunteers for judging.

          While the office staff did not mind doing it, this is about owners. We feel owners should be the ones involved in the picking the winners! 

 

         

         

Cluster 1 Electrical Update

We are 50% complete with the cluster!!!!!

What is happening now:

1.   The crew is working on the first section of Phase 3. On Thursday, this area will have new power to their new pedestals. Like mentioned, these later sections will be double fed for much longer than the earlier phases. This is due to the way the last three transformer feed the remainder of the cluster. The existing transformers on the beginning (from the entrance) of Whitebirch Way and Red Leaf Court will be the last two transformers done.

 

2.   Here is a reminder of the schedule for the next couple of weeks:

 

 

Section 2 will affect the following lots (August 11th-15th):

 

          Block 8 Lots 1-4

 

          Block 10 Lots 1-6

 

          Block 7 Lots 1-6 & 14-20

 

          Block 6 Lots 1-3 & 24

 

Section 3 will affect the following lots (August 18th- 22nd):

 

          Block 3 Lots 14-25

 

          Block 6 Lots 4-13

 

 

 

 

 

Landscaping:

 

We are bringing in dirt and grass seed for owners to address any issues that accrue from the electrical work. This is not for owners’ personal landscaping projects. If you are working on personal landscaping projects, it is your responsibility to procure the materials for those projects. We have brought in more dirt, but grass seed is on order (100 lbs. this time).

 

Rock: We understand that many owners have landscaping rock in their lots. While we understand that this project is wreaking havoc on landscaping rock, we mentioned in the spring that we will not be replacing rock. We warned you that if you had rock, you would need to make arrangements to move the rock out the way. The white line you see on your lot is the path they will be laying wire in and they typically mark that out two weeks prior for each section!

 

Wire Routes: The electricians mark the most efficient route for the wire. By efficient, we mean the least amount of wire used without having to go through trees, landscaping (like rock, brick, hedges, and other things). We also want owners to understand that the wire route might be mean we are going through one yard to get wire to another. We have one owner that ended up with 3 other lots’ wire routes running through their yard because it was more efficient (and the hill they were on was an absolute nightmare when we opened it up) to run up the wire through their lot.

        The medallion was found. Whomp Whomp! This was the fourth clue:

 

      

#4. A sign lies in wait, carved by ancient hands. It may seem worn, but to those who know the Eye’s language, it speaks clearly. Look for the symbol, hidden in plain sight, for it is the mark of the journey’s final step, guiding you to the treasure that lies beyond.  

 

 

         It was in the V of the Cluster 2 entrance sign!   You guys are some very smart cookies!

       8/1/2025

 

         

          Let there be power to Whitebirch Way! The team has transferred power to the new breakers!!! 

 

 

          The time has come for the clue:

 

           

#3.  The flame once lost now burns anew, guarded by petals, fierce and true. In the night, its watch begins, the Eye of fire, never dim.

      

         The medallion looks like the Eye of Sauron for those that know the Lord of the Rings. If you don't, the picture on the boards resembles the medallion.  

 

        We have one more clue that will come out tomorrow at 9 am. If it is not found by 12 pm, we have a back up clue that will be easier. It will then become a

         race to who gets to it first.

 

       Coloring contest sheets will be available to pick up tomorrow still. We ask that all entries be in the office by 12:30pm so we can get them hung in the clubhouse

       for the judges to pick their favorite from each category.

 

       Thank you,

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

    

       8/1/2025

 

       August already!!! Wow, where has the season gone? A couple announcements for this morning:

 

        Today is the day that all the lots fed by the breaker box near Comfort Station 3 will be cut off. It affects the following lots:

 

           Block 1 Lots 64-74

           Block 9 Lots 1-7 & 20-31

           Block 10 Lots 13-31

           Block 11 Lots 57-80 

         If you are in the last section, you will be out of power on both ends for awhile. We are moving the transformer and resetting it

         The Radtke Electric crew will be splicing your section to the new breakers and getting you reconnected to the transformer. Last

         one took around 4 ish hours altogether.

 

 

 

            Here is the second medallion hunt clue:

 

 

            

#2. A gate stands, a darkened archway leading to the realms beyond. The Eye watches, but only those with the courage to pass through the threshold may follow the path ahead. Find the gate, and step through to the other side, where secrets unfold and shadows whisper.

 

         Your next clue will come at 4 pm!!!

 

 

            Thank you,

             Desirae

             WBCC Manager

      Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

      We are a couple days away from our Halloween weekend!

 

 

        Lot Decorating contest: Please call the office to register your lot. We will give you until end of day tomorrow to do so!

          Please have your lots ready by 12 pm on Saturday for judging. We are also looking for 3 to 5 judges that will take a

         gander at the lots. We have score cards for each lot. Highest score will win!

 

       

      Coloring sheets are in the office! Come grab one!

 

 

        Medallion Hunt is Lord of the Rings inspired and the medallion is the Eye of Sauron. Gandalf the White is asking for our help to

      find the prying eye.  The clues are quite cryptic this year! Good Luck!

 

 

           

Sauron has once again set his sight on conquering the land of men. His eye is trained on our campground. We must find it before his hoard of orcs descend upon us. The Eye is hidden among the clusters. Like dear sweet Bilbo, the owners in the clusters do not take kindly to strangers invading their private spaces, so please stay out of them. The eye is watching, seek it before it is too late, my friends!

-Gandalf the White

 

#1. From the heights where the watchful gaze of the Eye sees all, seek the gathering of those who rest beneath the shadow of Mount Doom. There, in the upper echelons, the campfire’s light flickers like the Flame of the West, guiding your next step.  

 

     Have fun,

       Desirae

Good Afternoon, WBCC!

 

1.  Trespassing on your Neighbor’s Lots:

We are receiving reports of people walking/driving (really?) on their neighbors’ lots. Lots are private property!!!!! One might be surprised on how many of your neighbors have cameras on their lots. Owners have the right to call the police on trespassers. They have been instructed to do just that if they continue to see people on their camera views.

STAY OUT OF PRIVATE LOTS UNLESS YOU ARE INVITED ON THE LOT BY THE OWNER!!!!!!!

 

2.   Speeding

We are also receiving numerous complaints regarding significant speeding around the back side of Cougar Pass. The speed limit is 5 MPH in the campground PERIOD! There are people walking throughout the cluster and we would hate to see someone get hit because another person decided to speed around a corner and hit them.

SERIOUSLY, SLOW DOWN PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

3.   Storage Area

We have completed the first row of the storage area. We lost 2 spots out of the deal: 76 and 103. If you were in spots 76-86, your spot number has changed. It is as follows:

          76 is now 77

          77 is now 78

          78 is now 79

          79 is now 80

          80 is now 81

          81 is now 82

          82 is now 83

          83 is now 84

          84 is now 85

          85 is now 86

          86 is now 87

          103 is now 102

Otherwise, your number remained the same. You may have shifted slightly though. We will be doing the same thing to the next row, but we are going to hold off because we have projects that need attention first. We will let you know when we are ready to move the back row!

4.   Speaking of Storage: The following is a list of the unpaid spots in the storage area. We understand life happens or you may have sent something to corporate offices, and we weren’t informed of the payment. Please make a payment in the office as soon as possible. If you have paid and the mistake is on our end, please bring in proof of payment and we will gladly mark you paid!!! We also apologize for our poor record keeping as the beginning of the year was very hectic!!!

 

Lots: 3, 12, 14, 35, 69, 113, 115, C, L, O, and poles #2.  

          Whoever is in Spot #27, please move as that is not your assigned spot!

 

     

Cluster 1 Electrical Update: This is the To Be Determined Area...

 

 

         

Section 3 will affect the following lots (August 18th- 22nd):

 

          Block 3 Lots 14-25

 

          Block 6 Lots 4-13

      

            Thank you,

          Desirae

            WBCC Manager

     Hello WBCC!

 

 

      As usual, the rumor mill in the campground is buzzing!

 

      1. NO, there is not an additional $700 assessment for Cluster 1. We are not sure where this came from!

 

 

      2. NO, there will not be Cluster 1 owners who will not be upgraded until next year. The project is slated to

         be complete around the third or fourth week of September. 15ish weeks altogether!

 

 

     3. Management does not see the Facebook pages at all. If there is a wasp nest in a common area, please call the office

        or text the cellphone with the location of the nest and we will gladly take care of it!!!!!

 

   

     4. Baseballs in the pool table makes for a really hard game of pool. Please remind the kids that only pool balls should go in the table! 

 

    Quick reminder that the office will be opening late tomorrow due to an appointment! 

     

Cluster 1 Electrical Update

We are moving right along.

What is happening now:

1.   This week, the crew is finishing the second section. This affects:

Block 1 Lots 54-69

Block 10 Lots 7-18

Block 7 Lots 12-13

Part of this section will be double fed for a longer period of time because they are fed from the existing transformer on Plumwood. This will affect Block 1 Lots 54-63, Block 7 Lots 12-13, and Block 10 lots 7-12. If your lot is not listed, you will only be double fed until Thursday, July 31st. Owners should make arrangements for their units to be able to plug into the new system by then.

2.   The final section of Phase 2 will start the week of July 28th. This affects:

Block 9 Lots 20-31

Block 10 Lots 19-31

Unfortunately, this section will not get the luxury of being double fed at any point because they will use the existing transformer that feeds this phase at the moment. The old pedestals will lose power when this section is complete! This will mark a 40% completion for the project.  

3.   Phase 3 will start the week of August 4th. It will be broken down into the familiar pattern of three different sections. Unlike the pervious phases, all three of these transformers are new transformers instead of two new ones and one existing one.

 

Section 1 will affect the following lots (August 4th-8th):

 

          Block 11 Lots 3-12

 

          Block 5 Lots 1-19

 

 

Section 2 will affect the following lots (August 11th-15th):

 

          Block 8 Lots 1-4

 

          Block 10 Lots 1-6

 

          Block 7 Lots 1-6 & 14-20

 

          Block 6 Lots 1-3 & 24

 

 

Section 3 will affect the following lots (August 18th- 22nd):

 

          To be Determined.

We are waiting for the schematic from Radtke!

It will be the area near the new transformer by Greenleaf Court.

 

WE WANT TO REMIND OWNERS THAT AS THEY RECONNECT THINGS TO THE GRID, IF THEY ARE HARDWIRING ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING INTO THE GRID, IT WILL REQUIRE A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN AND A PERMIT FROM THE STATE! IF OWNERS THINK THEY CAN BYPASS THE PERMIT PROCESS, IT WILL RESULT IN A FINE AND POSSIBLE RED TAG FROM THE ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR AS HE WAS VERY DISPLEASED WITH THE AMOUNT OF ILLEGALLY DONE HARDWIRING HE SAW THROUGHOUT THE CLUSTER. THE ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR WILL HAVE HIS EYE ON THE CLUSTER FOR THE NEXT FEW YEARS!!!!

 

 

      Thank you,

       Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

 

 

7/22/2025

 

 

        We are under both a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and a Flood Watch. Head to Breezy Point Center if you need to!

 

        The office is closing early today due to the manager being soak and wet. Got caught in the rain....... We will reopen tomorrow

        at 8:30 am. Sorry fo rthe inconvenience!

 

 

        The office will open late on Thursday due to an appointment. We are unsure when it will be done but will be in asap.

 

 

 

        We have found some issues with pedestal placements, we will have the team come back to fix those.

 

 

 

         Thank you,

          Desirae

           WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

        7/17/2025

 

        

        Hello WBCC!!!

 

   

        A few things for the weekend:

 

      

       1. Desirae will be gone for the remainder of the weekend. Willow (the office admin) will be here to

          assist you. Desirae is dropping little man off with Grandma Vicki in Arizona. 

 

 

 

       2. We are going to ask once again to have owners who have storage spots in the row of 76-103 to move

          their items to overflow by Monday. We are going to widen the spaces out to 12 ft in order to accommodate

         the demand for pontoon storage!

 

 

       3.  Cluster 1 Electrical: This was a rough week for the crew. We are behind by a day because of the water issue

          from yesterday. The new pedestals in the first section are placed but not charged. The second section work will

          still begin on Monday after they charge the first section's pedestals. The second section is the rest of the Plumwood

          lots in this phase.

 

 

         Phase Three should begin on August 4th. This will affect the rest of block 8, block 5, block 11, the rest of block 10,

         block 7, and part of block 6. We will have a better idea next Tuesday of the exact lots affected and will post a more

          detailed breakdown.

 

   

       4. We have replenished doggie bags and the various balls for the kids/adults! 

 

 

       Thank you,

         Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         7/16/2025

 

        

          Cluster 1 will be out of water for a little bit. They hit a main this time. We have Pratt sending out some people

          to fix it as soon as they can. Comfort Station #1 has water right now. This was a bit of perfect timing because

          we have a sand filter to replace at the Cluster 1 pool. It will be closed until the filter is replaced and the water

          is back on! 

 

      

        Cluster 2 will see a drop in pressure for a very short time when we reintroduce water to Cluster 1. We do it this way so

         we don't hammer the pipes. Then we have to make our way all the way outside the Cluster 1 entrance to turn Well 1

         back on. Please be patient!!!

 

 

          Thank you,

          Desirae

           WBCC Manager 

    

       7/12/2025

 

  

          POKER RUN TONIGHT! This is a great way to get to know your neighbors and your way around

          the campground. Plus.....you can win some great prizes!!!!!!! Starts at 6 PM under the Pavilion!!!

         Make sure to thank Mike and Dawnya for hosting the event as they do an amazing job!

 

 

          GLASS BOTTLES IN THE POOL AREA.....

 

          While opening the pools, we found a bottle of wine. It is posted that we cannot have glassware of any sort

          in the pool area. We know this sounds like a stupid rule but the consequences of having glass break in this area

           are quite costly. If we find broken glass, we are forced to close the pool for a minimum of 1 week. We will

          have to drain all the pools in order to make sure there is no glass (regardless of whether there was glass or not).

           in them. Then we can fill them back up. This all costs money. New filters, chemicals, gas and labor will cost between

           $4,000 and $5,000. These costs get passed down through fee increases. JUST DO NOT RISK BRINGING
          IN ANY GLASS ITEMS IN THE POOL AREA!!!!

 

 

          Thank you,

Good Morning WBCC! We have assessed the weekend shenanigans and overall, it wasn’t too bad

considering the number of people we had over the holiday.

       A few important things:

1.     Cluster 1 Electrical: The power down for the last section of Phase 1 will begin at 8 am on Thursday, July 10th.

       This may take up to 8 hours as they switch things over to the new infrastructure. If you are on one of the new transformers

       already (aside from the Barkwood Court area), this is the point where your old pedestal will lose power to it. Make sure you

       have your unit over to the new pedestal.

2.     Comfort Stations: Overall, they weren’t too bad. We seem to have had a TP party in most of them though. We are not

       sure the purpose of throwing toilet paper on the floor, but we would like to remind owners that bathroom supply costs are

       another item that affects the maintenance fees. While we realize that a majority of the issues are most likely from guests, owners

       bear the brunt of those costs in fee increases.

 

a.     Comfort Station #1: We are seeing evidence of smoking within the building again. If we continue to see this, we will be forced

         to close it. For those that do not know about public pool laws, if we close Comfort Station #1, we will be forced to close the pool too.

        Nobody wants to suck in your nasty cigarette smoke when they go IN A PUBLIC BATHROOM. You are more than welcome to smoke outside!

b.     Comfort Station #2: To whomever left their underwear on a rock outside of Comfort Station #2, we have it in the golf cart.

       You are more than welcome to come retrieve them.

 

 

c.      Comfort Station #3: We realize that alcohol, a holiday weekend, and people equal for some interesting things.

         Comfort stations are public buildings and any lewd acts caught within them can be prosecuted as such. We would

          also like it if you choose to risk fornicating in a public space that you don’t leave your condoms and diaphragms

          for the housekeepers to have to deal with… Thank you!

 

3.     Storage Area: We have assessed who has paid and who has not! If your spot is empty and you have not paid for

        your spot, we will assume you are not renewing your contract. If your spot has an item in it, we will be sending a letter

        shortly! We will begin to give out the spots on the perimeter and the upper section (small boats and items will placed

        in these areas) that are empty shortly.

a.     We would like to remind those in the boneyard, if we ask you to reposition an item, you are required to move it per

         the contract you signed. If you chose to ignore our request, we will reserve our right to reposition the item as stated in

         the contract.

 

         Thank you,

          Desirae

          WBCC Manager  

 

        7/5/2025

 

        Good Morning WBCC!

 

        Quick announcements:

 

         Everyone in Cluster 1 has had their power restored as of 6:15 this morning. We are asking everyone to please

         conserve on power for the remainder of the weekend. Unplug items that are not necessary like outdoor yard lights,

         unplug toasters unless in use, and other items. Air Conditioners could be set at a higher temperature than preferred

           to ease their draw on the grid.

 

 

          Barkwood Court: You will notice you have lost your old grid power. Unfortunately, due to yesterday's events,

          we needed the breaker to get power to part of block 3 and block 8. The power surge took out their main breaker.

          Run extention cords if needed to items that can't be with out power and make sure to switch your unit to the new grid

          as soon as you can!

 

  

           We will say this, the weekend has been a testament to why this upgrade in Cluster 1 was desperately needed. While

          appreciate that owners were trying to allow management some off time, we need to be the first call when there are electrical

           issues. We can assess the situation and figure out the best course of action. Crow Wing Power is the last option typically! 

 

 

          The bathrooms are absolutely atrocious! Comfort Station 1 is understandable, but having toilet paper and kleenex

          on the floor of every bathroom is not acceptable behavior. Tissues will not be replaced at this time due to this issue.

 

 

           Thank you,

          Desirae

           WBCC Manager 

      7/4/2025

 

       We have no good news for the two sections of Cluster 1 out of power. We have two transformers in the campground that

        are down. The following areas are affected at this time:

 

        All of Block 7

        Block 1 Lots 3-63

        Block 10 Lots 1-13

         Block 3 Lots 1-21 and 31-33

        Comfort Station 1 and the Pool

        Block 6 Lots 8-23 

         Block 2 Lots 1-14

 

 

        Crow Wing Power ( to the lady who called, you were spot on with your intuition) is aware and will be here to

        fix it this evening. It may be a few hours as they are having significant issues all over due to heat and overload!

 

         Thank you,

        Desirae

         WBCC Manager 

      7/4/2025

 

      We see that the last message reads that we are closing the pools. We just meant that from 8:30 am to about 10:15 am,

      we would be out opening the pools and not in the office because we know it will be hot today. We are not closing them

      unless there is lightening in the area.

 

        Sorry for the confusion!!!!

 

           Thank you,

           Desirae

           WBCC Manager

        HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WBCC!!!!!

 

       Unfortunately, due to the circumstances yesterday, we will need to close the office quite early today. We were

       here until around 11:30 pm last night so we do need to cut some of the overtime back (saves on dues!) We will

       opening the pools for the first part of the day as today will be a hot one. We will try to be in the office from 10:15

         unitl 12:30 pm to give the extra campers time to see us in the office and any other business. 

 

        On a good note, Cluster 1's utilities were restored fairly quickly. The fuse on the pole outside the cluster blew.

         Crow Wing Power didn't find any issues within the cluster and replaced the fuse which restored power. The

         water issue was an accident that broke a spigot line (unrelated to any electrical as we are not working on

         that again until Monday) and we repaired that fairly quickly also. The gate at one is operational!!

 

         We have been made aware of the golf cart crash that occurred last night in Cluster 1. We are not going to

         tolerate this behavior. If we must, we will involve law inforcement officers regarding the behaviors on golf carts

          in the clusters. Parents: if your teens and your pre-teens cannot operate these golf carts in a safe manner, there

         will be a discussion about major rule changes regarding golf carts and minors!!!!! 

 

        We have a heat index advisory today, so be aware of this! We are also in for some storms this afternoon

         and into the overnight.

 

 

        Thank you,

     As we move into the holiday weekend, here are some reminders for everyone:

 

1.  We have noticed some very young kids driving golf carts. We want to

       remind owners that there is an age limit for golf carts. With an ATV permit,

      12–14-year-olds can drive a golf cart. Otherwise, 11 and under are not

        allowed to operate a golf cart.

 

The most common injuries to occur on a golf cart is a

concussion/traumatic brain injury, broken bone, and other soft tissue injuries.

 

2.  We are also seeing some speeding throughout the clusters. The speed limit is 5 MPH.

     Drivers can be cited for reckless endangerment for excessive speeding. Especially if

     the speeding party almost runs head on into another vehicle. This includes golf carts.

     So please, SLOW DOWN! We are on vacation people, no need to be in a rush!!!

 

3.  We are getting some complaints about barking dogs. Unfortunately, unless there is a noise

     ordinance violation, we cannot control this. Dogs will bark; some breeds are worse than

     other (I have wiener dog at home that barks at everything that moves…). There are things

    that owners can do to suppress barking. If the dog barks at everything that moves, one

    could try limited their ability to see things outside the house. If the dog barks at noise, try

     playing music or something else to drown out outside noises. If worse comes to worse, one

     could invest in a bark collar. The one I settled on has three stages: a beep, a vibrate, then a

     shock. It only took my wiener a couple shocks to understand that the vibrate is before the

     shock and to stop barking at that point.

 

4.  We had a group of kids abusing the volleyball net on Monday. The volleyball net is not a jungle

     gym. Hanging off of the net will break it/stretch it out. If a kid breaks the net because they

     were abusing the net, the parent has bought themselves a broken net!

 

5.  We did get some reports of minor things in the comfort stations. There was a pile of sand found

     in front of a toilet in the Men’s side of Comfort Station 3, with clear signs that someone is in need

    of some practice at aiming. Pauline and Willow work very hard to make sure the comfort stations

     are presentable for owners. Let’s not make it more difficult for them.

 

6.  ABSOLUTELY NO FIREWORKS IN THE CAMPGROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

7.  Docks weren’t bad when we checked them yesterday. If you received a violation notice, it is

     because we didn’t see a current GREEN sticker. We will be swinging by the docks all weekend.

    We are asking the jet skis utilize the spots closer to the shoreline as they are a lighter watercraft

    and won’t bottom out in those spots as easily.

 

8.  Management will be making surprise visits throughout the evening hours this weekend.

     You may not know it’s me…😉!

 

Remember, we are in a shared space and to exhibit respectful behavior this weekend.

Most of all, let’s all have a fun, safe weekend!

 

         Thank you,

         Desirae

         WBCC Manager

           Cluster 1 Electrical Update

          We nearing the end of Phase One!!!!

          What is happening now:

1.   The new transformer will be charged up on July 2nd. This means Block 9 Lots 4-19

      and Block 11 lots 50-64 will double fed for a period of about a week.

2.   The team will lay the wire and pedestals for Block 8 Lots 5-20 and Block 11 13-16

       and Lots 45-49 (we didn’t forget you!) after the holiday weekend.

3.   July 9th or the 10th, the team will be doing the final switch over. This is the one where

     outages WILL happen. If you are in the other sections, it strongly suggested that you get

       your unit on the new pedestal.

4.   After each road settles, we will bring class 5 and smooth them out (assuming nature’s

     sprinkler is done). We will also start bringing in filtered black dirt and grass seed. The

     grass seed will most likely be a 50/50 mix of Rye/Blue Grass.

      If you would like to contract Radtke Electric to do any work, please contact the office at 454-1035.

     They will send out a work order. There will be a $150 minimum. Please do not bug them while they

     are working on the main infrastructure as this is the main project and we would like to maintain

      the track we are on!

 

Fun Fact: On July 10th, we will be about 20% complete with the project!

 

 

 

PHASE TWO

       We are headed into phase two of the project. This will affect the following lots:

         Block 11 Lots 65-80

         Block 9 Lots 1-3 and 20-31

         Block 10 Lots 7-31

         Block 1 Lots 54-74

         Block 7 Lots 12-13

       This phase will again be done in 3 sections.

        Section 1:

        Block 11 Lots 65-80

        Block 9 Lots 1-3

        Section 2:

       Block 1 Lots 54-69

       Block 10 Lots 7-18

       Block 7 12-13

       Section 3:

       Block 10 Lots 19-31

       Block 9 Lots 20-31

      This is a rough estimate. Some things are subject to change as the team moves

      through the sections as it might work out better.

 

 

        Thank you,

          Cluster 1 Electrical update:

          Section 1 is complete with some minor adjustments. This means Block 11 lots 17-44 have two live pedestals at this time.

          We are asking owners in this area to begin switching over to their new pedestals to relieve some of the strain on the old system.

         The crew has started on the next section. This will affect Block 9 Lots 4-19 and Block 11 Lots 50-63. They are starting on the hill

         near Block 9 Lots 17-19. They will be working in the early part of next week in order to make up for some of the lost time at the

         beginning of the project!

 

         Attention: The span of Yellowleaf adjacent to block 9 is a muddy mess. We are asking that people avoid that area

         (unless your lot is in the area) until Mother Nature is cooperating and allows the area to dry out. There are cones

         marking the worse spots. We have plans to address the roads as we go, but we can’t do it when it is constantly

         raining!!!!! We are asking for some patience during this time.

           Thank you,

            Desirae

           WBCC Manager

       Cluster 1 has water again. Cluster 2 would have saw a drop in pressure around 2:20 pm as the water made its

      way down to Cluster 1. This was temporary.

 

  

       With that said.....I am leaving early because I have a shoe full of mud! I don't like it very much.....

 

 

         Thank you,

        Desirae

          WBCC Manager   

 

 

 

 

 6/25/2025

 

    

 

     Reminders about building permits:

      We are seeing a lot of new sheds and decks on lots that don’t have permits in the office!

      We want to remind all owners that any structure (sheds, MN Rooms, screened porches,

      awnings, and decks) all require permits. This includes any prefabricated buildings from

      places like Old Hickory! For those that have already brought in or built items, we will

      be sending out letters and the cost of the building permit will triple. If it is not within

     setbacks, you will be told to rectify the setbacks as anything new will not be grandfathered in!

 

     Cluster 1 Gate:

         As you may have noticed, the entrance gate is not working. We are seeing a lot of high-speed drive

      throughs. This arm is malfunctioning and we are not sure if it will come down. The speed limit

       is 5 MPH. SLOW DOWN AND PROCEED WITH CAUTION! We have a service call in for it.

 

    Cluster 1 Electrical update:

     Section 1 is complete with some minor adjustments. The crew has started on the next section.

    This will affect Block 9 Lots 4-19 and Block 11 Lots 50-63. They are starting on the hill near

      Block 9 Lots 17-19. They will be working in the early part of next week in order to make up

     for some of the lost time at the beginning of the project!

 

     July 4th festivities:

   

     Saturday July 5th!!!!

    Golf Cart Parade will be at 10 am. We are asking to start to line up by the office starting at

    9:30 am.

    Our annual BBQ will be from 4 pm to 6 pm. We have a couple volunteers but could use a few more

    (a couple grillers for sure). We will be serving hamburgers, brats, potato salad, watermelon, chips,

    and cookies!!!!! We are asking you bring your own beverages!

       PLEASE LEAVE THE BOULDERS ALONE! WE WILL USE THEM IN LANDSCAPING! 

       Thank you,

 6/20/2025

 

     The Electrical crew will be working late today, but typically will only work half days on Friday. They want to

     make up for some of the time lost earlier this week! We seemed to have forgotten to include Block 11 Lots 45-49

    in the third section of phase one. Thank you to the owner who pointed this out to us!! 

     Weather for the Weekend

       Friday Overnight: There is a chance for very severe weather during the overnight hours tonight. If needed, we

       recommend heading to the Breezy Point Convention center as it is our official storm shelter.  

      Both Saturday and Sunday have heat index warnings! The highs will be in the 90s.

      Watch for signs of heat exhaustion/Heat Stroke:

       Dizziness

       Headaches and Muscle Cramps

       Cool, clammy skin despite the temperature

       Heavy Sweating

       Elevated Heart rate/weak pulse

       Confusion

      Tips for beating the heat:

      Stay Hydrated (if you are experiencing signs of heat exhaustion, avoid ice cold fluids as they can shock the system)

      Seek shade or cooler temperatures

      Rest

     If symptoms don’t improve or worsen, seek medical treatment!

     Thank you,

       This was the part 2 I was going to post.... 

        Cluster 1 Electrical:

       First day had a bit of a rough start! They found one of the shallower spigot lines. Of all the things that could happen,

      this is the one that will occur most commonly. If it happens, we have everything on hand to fix them so water outages

     will be short term. Comfort Station #1 will remain open and water will be accessible during any outages.

      Laundry:

      We have run Affresh tablets through all of the washers. We are hoping to this will address the issue we are receiving complaints about!

      The first dryer in the Clubhouse laundry is still out of order. We will need an electrician as it seems to be the plug and not the dryer!

     Community Sale

      We are holding the annual community sale this Saturday, 6/21/2025 down in the Cluster 2 overflow lot. We have placed signs out

      on Dove and County Road 11. We will finally be selling the old frisbee golf baskets at this time. This will be a first come first serve

      basis. They will be $25 per basket. There will be a limit of 3 per person in order to accommodate the demand for them!

     Storage Lot

     After the community sale, we would like to remark the middle sections of the storage lot so each person will get a 12 ft wide spot. It seems

     the 10-foot width of the spots is just too narrow for the demand of the storage area. The spots along the fence are what they are due to the fence

     posts. We cannot fix those but we can revamp the middle areas.

     Storage Spots 76-90

    We are asking you to clear your spots temporarily so that the guys can widen out this section first. This is why we waited until after the community

     sale as we can offer the overflow area as a temporary storage area as the guys rework the area. We will lose some spots, but we have purposely

     left some open to accommodate those lots lost. Please wait until after the Community Sale to move your items to overflow.

 

      Thank you,

      Desirae

       WBCC Manager

Cluster 1 Electrical:

             The storms on Monday, 6/16/2025, have delayed everything because of emergency work for Crow Wing Power

             and Minnesota Power. Locators are all busy getting those areas so people can get power. The locate process must

            complete before breaking ground. They have plans to be here with boots on the ground tomorrow as long as the locator

            from USIC gets down there to locate the electrical wires!

            We have hopefully addressed all the issues regarding pedestal placement. Please remember, the old pedestals will be

            taken out after the new ones are set, so lots will have extra pedestals for a period of time. We have the timbers already

            for when they dig out the old pedestals.  

            The contractor will be moving through the first phase in three distinct sections.

            Section 1: Block 11 Lots 17-44

           These lots will be fed from the new transformer near Block 11 Lots 41-42. They start by setting the subpanels and getting

           the secondary line in the road first. They will then get the pedestals all placed.

           This section will be double fed for a period of time. This means both the old and the new pedestal will have electricity to them.

           This is temporary! Please make arrangements to have your unit ready for the switch. If an owner has had their unit hardwired

            into the main grid, they will need to figure out how to switch over to being able to plug into the new pedestal.

 

             Section 2: Block 11 Lots 50-63 and Block 9 Lots 4-19

              These lots will be fed from the new transformer near Block 9 Lots 5-6. The process will be the same as the first section.

             This section will experience the same double feed as the first section. This will be temporary! Please make arrangements

              to have your unit ready for the switch. If an owner has had their unit hardwire into the main grid, they will need to figure

              out how to switch over to being able to plug into the new pedestal.

 

            Section 3: Block 8 Lots 5-20 and Block 11 Lots 13-16 & 45-49

             These lots will be fed from the existing transformer that is located near Block 11 Lots 45-46. The team will place the new subpanels

              and the secondary wire in the roads. They will get all the pedestals installed on lots. This is where it gets a little interesting! Because

              this is the existing transformer, the transformer will be cut as the charge up the new subpanels. This will last about a half a day ideally,

              but could extend to an eight (8) hour period. This will occur on a Monday or a Tuesday so it won’t interfere with weekend operations.

 

           Block 11 Lots 8-12

             The electrical map has been slightly reworked regarding these lots. Originally, these were going to be fed from the existing transformer,

              but the team decided these lots would be better fed off of the new transformer near Block 5 Lots 1 & 19. DO NOT WORRY, THEY

            WILL MAINTAIN POWER UNTIL THEY ARE OFFICIALLY UPGRADED!     

           Thank you,

           Desirae

       ATTENTION  OWNERS! THERE IS A CONFIRMED TORNADO BY GULL LAKE. PLEASE HEAD TO THE

       CONVENTION CENTER AT THE RESORT IMMEDIATELY IF POSSIBLE!

 

 

       THANK YOU

      DESIRAE 

6/7/2025

     Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

   

      Couple quick things:

 

      

          The Electricians will be here Tuesday to mark lots. He had some emergencies come up that he needed to address.

          We apologize for the inconvenience!

 

 

         The Cluster 1 pool opened at 10 am this morning! (We know it looks like rain now....)

 

         The Cluster 2 pool will be open to owners tomorrow! It is still about 3 to 4 inches too low.

 

 

         We would like to thank those 3 boats for removing themselves from the docks!

 

 

         We have a few owners in the campground this weekend who we have no record of Maintenance fee payments.

          We did not shut your cards under the assumption you will be coming to see us in the office sometime during your

          time here. If we still see no payment, we will shut off your cards until payment is received.

 

  

          Speaking of payments:  The neww system they are using for card payments is a jerk! If you have been waiting for

          your card to be ran, we probably tried and the Maestro system kicked it back at her. To help streamline this, any

          Credit/debit card payment should be done up at the corporate office with Kersten or call her at 218-562-7574.

          She is in her office Monday through Friday.  

          

         Thank you,

         Desirae

          WBCC Manager  

6/6/2025

       Hello WBCC!

 

   

       

      DOCKS

     We have three pontoons left on the dock from earlier this week.

     On the sticker form that all owners sign when they get their dock

    sticker, it states that all owners must be present in the campground

    during the time the boat is docked. This means if an owner leaves to

     go home or on a trip, their boat needs to leave the water. If you are a

     GUEST or RELATIVE of an owner, we do allow you to get a sticker,

     BUT YOU CANNOT LEAVE         YOUR BOAT OVERNIGHT UNLESS YOU

     ARE STAYING IN THE CAMPGROUND. Being a resident of Breezy Point

    does not authorize you to claim residency in the campground. The form

    also stays that a boat may stay docked for up to 7 days, but they must

     be removed for a period of at least 7 days before redocking.

 

   LATE FEES

   We have gone through the list of owners who have outstanding balances.

   Overall, we are sitting very well. Late fees have been added and new

   statements will be mailed. Card shut offs will happen as soon as the office

   opens in the morning!!!!

 

  

      Extra Campers/Utility Fees

     Sorry everyone, they haven’t gone away!!!

     If you have a guest camper on your lot, there is a $15/charge per night for

    utility/amenity use. We noticed a couple of campers on Memorial Day

    weekend that were not registered in the office. If the owners are repeat

    offenders (owners who have already been told or sent letters regarding

    extra campers), we will revoke the privilege to bring any extra campers onto

     their lots. This is a courtesy being extended to owners as restrictions do

    state one camper per site!

 

 

 

     Cluster 1 Electrical

     We will additional information for Cluster 1 on the boards in the morning.

     The day slipped away and we weren’t able to get them out as we intended to!

 

     ANNUAL COMMUNITY SALE

     We are planning our annual community sale for Saturday, JUNE 21st!

     Signs will be place out on the Monday prior. It will run from 9 am – 1 pm

     and be located in the overflow parking lot by the office. Please make other

     arrangements for parking during this time.

   

       Thank you,

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

6/5/2025

    Hello WBCC!

 

 

      This is just a quick post about the meeting with the electrical contractor. The hard start date will be June 16th. These are the following lots that

      will be affected during this phase:

 

        Block 11 Lots 8-63

        Block 8 Lots 5-20

        Block 9 Lots 4-19

 

      

     The contractor will be here tomorrow to mark where the pedestal will be placed in each of these lots. The state inspector will be through

       shortly after to approve pedestal placement. We have markers in the office if you would like to premark the location you would like the

      pedestal. Again, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE PEDESTAL WILL BE PLACED THERE AS THE INSPECTOR AS THE LAST
      SAY IN THE PLACEMENT! 

      

      We will place more detailed notes about the meeting tomorrow on both the site and the boards.

 

 

      Thank you,

 

      Desirae

      WBCC Manager

    Maintenance Fees and Storage Fees

   The day has arrived! Today is the last day to pay maintenance fees and storage fees without getting a late fee.

    Kersten (the staff accountant) and I will be assessing where we are on payments next week. If an owner has

   contacted us to make prior arrangements (health or other reasons), they will be honored. Card shut-offs will

   happen next once we get our bearings straight! We will warn owners the day before!

    Lawn Maintenance

    We will be looking at lots over the next couple weeks. We expect that spring lawn maintenance to be done

    by then and any issues with junky campers or other issues to be addressed. If you receive a letter, you will be

    expected to address the issues within 20 days!

    Boat Stickers are here!

    We will give leeway until next Saturday. Please try to have the new sticker by then. Also, we see some boats

    that have been on the docks for quite a while….. We know who you are!!! Management makes a daily trip to

    the corporate offices. We do take note of who is on the dock at this time. We will also be swinging by randomly

    throughout the week later on in the evening.

    Dumpsters!

   We are very disappointed in the way that SOME owners have been abusing the dumpsters. The dumpsters are

   for HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE ONLY! This excludes wood from sheds, mattresses, grills, TVs, futon pads,

   paint buckets, or chemicals. Are you able to place those in your garbage bins at home? Absolutely not! Same rules

   apply here. We may have a surprise for those owners we catch throwing those things away…  Trail cameras are

   easy to hide and we have plenty in my household that I would be willing to borrow to the campground for the season!

    Reminder for Cluster 1!

   We have our meeting with the contractor on Thursday, June 5th. We will then work on getting a plat map and rough time line

   out to owners. We cannot post the plat map on the website. We will try to get together with the admins of the Facebook groups

     to post it on the Facebook page. We are hoping to have that done by next Saturday!

 

    If you have not dealt with your assessment, we are expecting owners to make a decision soon! Like we mentioned at the meeting,

    we have wiggle room on the 5-month plan. We expect it to be paid by October 1st! If it not paid in full by this date, we will place

    a lien on the property and pursue further legal action. The 2- and 3-year plans are not as forgiving. If you miss a payment, they

    can foreclose on the property by advertisement!

 

 

 

    Thank you,

5/29/2025

 

   

         Running into Brainerd today! The crew needs some stuff and our boat stickers have arrived!!!!!

 

         No one will be in the office at this time. I will try to keep it short but I am flower shopping for the

         office area......

 

 

         Thank you,

         Desirae

          WBCC Manager 

    5/28/2025

 

  

      Crow Wing Power will be here again today and expect the same small power outages as they still have

     a couple transformers to finish up. It was pointed out that these outages may trip a breaker

      in your unit. Please watch for that! 

 

    

      We have a meeting with the contractor on Thursday, June 5th to nail down the rough timeline

      of the next phase. The timeline is rough because weather and other factors will play into how fast

      they are able to move through the cluster. We will try post it with a plat map so owners can visualize

      it better.  

       We have an owner who would like to start having a Mahjong club, if you are interested, please contact the office! 

       Meeting Highlights: 

         

       General Projects for the Year: 

        Sand blasting and paint both of the pools. They are painting as we speak and expect the pools to

        be open next week!

 

         The garbage surrounds in Cluster 1 are being torn out and replaced.

 

         Cluster 2 has some minor landscaping projects.  

     

               Mulch on the paths near CS #5

               A small area near the office needs attention.  

       Overall, the weekend was uneventful. We would like to mention that the Cluster 1 TP bandit has returned!

       All of the the rolls on both the women's and the men's sides of Comfort Station #1.

 

 

       Garbages: We have found several mattresses abandoned by garbage surrounds. Stuff like this is why dues

       will go up. It costs anywhere from $15 to $30 dollars per mattress/boxspring to get rid of them. When it costs

        more than we allot for that item on the budget, we see increases.  

       Thank you,

        Desirae

         WBCC Manager

 

 

 

 

 

5/27/2025

 

      Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

       Cluster 1 will lose power randomly throughout the afternoon as Crow Wing Power charges up the

       Good Afternoon WBCC!

   

        We were informed that a mama bear and at least one cub was sighted last night in the Moose Trail/Fox Trail area. MAMA BEARS
         ARE VERY PROTECTIVE! Please bring in feeders and suet at night to discourage the bear from sticking around. Be careful traveling

          throughout the clusters at night.

         Thank you,

5/22/2025

 

 

         Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

         The skies are blue and a yellow dot has appeared in them! It is nice change of weather.

 

 

         Cluster 1's water leaks have been addressed and hopefully (knock on wood) we won't see any more issues.

 

          Our sandblasting team will be here for today and tomorrrow working on getting both pools sandblasted. The

           goal is to have them painted next week! Of course, weather is the factor for this. It will take a solid 5 to 6 days to

           fill the pools once they are dry.   

 

          Crow Wing Power is here again to finish setting the transformers. THERE WILL BE POWER OUTAGES
           TODAY! They will have to shut off the power in order to splice in the new transformers. Again, there will

           be outages today. They will be short though!

 

 

             Thank you,

               Desirae

              WBCC Manager

 

 

 

5/21/2025

 

      Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

          Someday, the heat will turn back on up here!!

 

 

          Crow Wing Power and Elite Underground are officially underway! We were informed this morning that owners will

         experience outages during this time as they charge up the new transformers. Crow Wing Power assured us that it

          would be for short periods of time as they splice in the new transformers. They plan to be out of here by tomorrow

         afternoon.  

 

 

          Thank you,

          Desirae

5/20/2025

 

      Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

     Cluster 1 has water!!!!! All of the comfort stations have been reopen. We are working on getting the hole filled in

     due to the wash out. The area is still staked out with caution tape so no one falls in or drives in it. It should be fixed by

     tomorrow sometime.

 

 

      We are closing early today because of the overtime accrued last night. I try not to have overtime because it will

    affect your annual fees, so I offset it when I do get it. A cold and rainy Tuesday seems like a good day to do that!

       To be honest, my feet are cold and wet....and I don't like it!!! The office will close at 3 pm. This will mean the boneyard

      will be closed at that time also as our usual closers are all out of town today! 

 

 

      Thank you,

      Desirae

      WBCC Manager 

 

       

5/20/2025

 

 

        Good Morning WBCC!

 

       

        Its going to be a rainy one today. Due to rain, Crow Wing Power has postponed until tomorrow.

 

 

       Pratt's will be here this morning to address the main break on Whitebirch Way and Plumwood.

       We should have water on in Cluster 1 again shortly after their visit.

 

 

       Thank you,

       Desirae

        WBCC Manager 

 

5/19/2025

 

 

         Good Evening WBCC!

 

         We had a pretty big break in a water main this evening. Cluster 1 will be out of water until we can get Pratt's in here.

          We are shooting for tomorrow morning! Comfort Station #1, #4 (the Clubhouse), and #5 are all open and available

          for owners. The break is located on Whitebirch Way and Plumwood, heading toward the golf cart path. The ground is

           soft and we have stakes and caution tape around the area. We suggest that if you are heading toward Cluster 2, you

          utilize Ranchette and Dove to do so. Sorry for the inconvenience!!

 

 

 

           Thank you,

           Desirae

            WBCC Manager 

    

5/17/2025

 

  

         Good Morning WBCC!

 

   

        The dumpster is here! It is located by the maintenance sheds in the boneyard. There is do not fill past line clearly marked.

       We will bring in an additional dumpster when this one is filled to capacity. Please follow the rules regarding these dumspsters.

         When we have to pay extra for these things, at end of year, the increase in budget costs factor in fee increases for the

          following season. In other words, if we go over budget, owners pay more next year. We try really hard to stay in budget!

          Of course there are always things that happen that are beyond our control, like increases in pool chemical costs or utility fees. 

        

 

 

         Quick clarification on the Cluster 1 work next week. No one should loose any power during this time. They are just setting

         the transformers and boring in the line that will charge them eventually in order to provide adequate power to the new

         infastructure. We will communicate with owners regarding outages. Typically, lots will only be out of power for a work day

        while they are connecting them to the new grid. We have decided that this portion of the project will occur early during the

         week, Mondays thru Wednesday or Thurdays, because we want owners to be able to enjoy the weekends without

         interruption. We will also try to avoid major holidays weeks like the Fourth of July and Labor Day. We expect to be done

         with the project around mid to late September. Of course, weather and other factors will determine this outcome!   

         

          We hope this clears up some of the confusion about what is happening next week.

 

 

        Thank you,

5/15/2025

 

  

         Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

          After speaking with Crow Wing Power this morning, they are scheduled to be here with Elite Underground

          on Tuesday, 5/20 at 7:30 am with boring equipment and front loaders to bore in the primary and set the new

            transformer boxes. Their plan is to have everything done end of day Thursday, 5/22. They may have to sneak

           in Friday, 5/23 morning to finish up, but we are hoping that is not needed. This will affect the entire cluster at this

           time as the transformers are statigically placed throughout the cluster. They will not be boring under any lots; they

            will be running the primaries in the road way.    

           Crow Wing County has been placed under a Tornado Watch. Remember, we strongly encourage that you seek

          shelter at the Breezy Point Convention Center if needed. CS #1 and #5 are brick buildings and will work in a pinch.

 

 

           We will be having the annual meeting on Saturday, May 24th at 10 am under the pavillion. We will start with the

         usual greeting and update on projects for the entire campground year. Once that is done, we will have the Cluster 1

          electric discussion. We are hoping that our contractor will be available for the technical questions!

 

 

 

           Thank you,

           Desirae

           WBCC Manager  

5/14/2025

 

 

         Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

         We have good and bad news for everyone!

 

 

         Aside from the eletrical project for Cluster 1, we have another big project slated for the year. Both of the big

         pools are in need of some serious TLC. They are being sandblasted down to the concrete and repainted.  They also

         are due for main drain replacements.

 

          Unfortunately, repainting requires Mother Nature to cooperate with us. If its too hot, the paint will not spread

         correctly. If its too cool, the paint will stay tacky too long. As you know, this week was too hot. Next week,

          well, its going to be too cold.

 

  

         I guess I will rip the bandaid off.....pools are not going to be ready by Memorial Day.  Don't come for me!!!

         I promise it is necessary maintenance that was needed, but Mother Nature is being Mother Nature at this time.

         Temps seem to stablize after next week! 

 

        Good News: I spoke with Crow Wing Power and after a final walk through tomorrow, they should have their

         equipment here to get the primary line bored in and transformers set early next week! Due to this notion, the office

         will be closing early on Thursday 5/15/25. We will be here from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.

 

 

         We are supposed to see some storms tomorrow in the afternoon. As usual, if you need shelter, please head to

         Breezy Point Convention Center as it is our designated storm shelter. If you cannot make it, CS #1 and #5 are

          brick buildings. They are not ideal but will serve as a safer building than nothing at all.

 

 

           Speaking of Comfort Station #1....

 

           We would like to remind owners that smoking of any kind in any public building is prohibited by MN Statute

            144.414. We found evidence inside Comfort Station #1 that someone was smoking (ashes in the sink)

             in the building. Anyone caught smoking inside a public building can be fined.

          

 

           Thank you,

      Good Afternoon WBCC! 

    

       As many of you have experienced, Shanna is not answering her phone at this time. She has moved onto a different company,

       so the Campground office will be taking over phone calls. We are as frustrated as you may be! Any one who called over the

        past week and left a message with Shanna, please call us in the campground office, as the recordings didn't transfer very well and

        are hard to understand. We are working to deciepher them but its proving difficult!

 

 

      If you want to pay by card, we will take down the information in the campground office and send it to the corporate office.

 

 

      If you want to be set up on the 5 month plan for the assessment, we can help you in the campground office. If you choose the

      2 or 3 year plan, you will need to speak with Rick Stoltman at the real estate offices at 218-562-7129. He will help you!

 

 

    

      We are still in a Red Flag Warning here in Crow Wing County! All outdoor burning in discouraged due to the conditions.

      It looks like Thursday is predicted to see some thunderstorms and heavy rain. Then welcome back April...we will see highs

      in the upper 40s and lower 50s.  

 

       We will be bringing a roll off in on Friday. Remember, these roll-offs are meant for spring clean ups. This is your opportunity to

     get rid of stuff from your lots. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept mattresses, household furniture, or electronics in the roll-offs.

       

 

 

     Thank you,

      Desirae

     WBCC manager

 

 

5/10/2025

 

 

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

       According to the MN DNR, we will be in a Red Flag warning from 11 am to 10 pm tomorrow. No outdoor burning is

       recommended at all during this time!

 

     

 

       The washers in Comfort Station #5 are taking longer than usual to get through their cycle. They work though.

        We have a call into the laundry guy so hopefully we will see him on Monday or Tuesday. The Clubhouse laundry

        is open for owners!

 

    

 

       Boat Stickers: Yes, this is the year we are changing the color. The order for them is in. Owners are able to use the docks with the old

       sticker until the new ones arrive.

 

 

 

        Gate Keys: We are out of gate keys for purchase in the office for now. The order will be here Tuesday!

 

 

         Thank you,

         Desirae

          WBCC Manager          

 

5/8/2025

 

 

        Good Morning WBCC!

 

 

         Busy day today!  We have two more wells to flush this afternoon and our well guy is coming to fix our pressure issue!

         As with any time we flush, if you smell chlorine in your water, make sure to flush your lines until the smell is gone.

 

 

         We have all 5 comforts stations up and runnning now. We have unlocked the Clubhouse laundry for owners also.

        

 

           Hazelwood is trying to get here to set up the arcade games this afternoon.  

 

 

          We also have some of our 50 amp pedestals arriving this afternoon for the Cluster 1 eletrical project.

 

 

         Speaking of Cluster 1 Electrical, we are going to to try to post the answers to your questions on here, but

         if they are wonky, they will be posted on boards by the entrances and the Comfort Stations #1 and #3            

         for owners to see! 

 

 

 

         Cluster 1 Electrical Questions

 

 

        1.  We would appreciate access to all submitted quotes as well as information about the selected vendors and

            contractors.

           

           A: We can and will provide the amounts of the 4 quotes we received from different electricians to the membership,

           but not the names of said bidders.

 

 

        2. Is the $2,400 cost a comprehensive, all-inclusive amount? Will any additional charges be assessed to the owners

             following the completion of the upgrade?

 

             A: Yes, the $2,400 is an all-inclusive amount. Our intent is for no additional charges to be assessed to owners.

 

 

       3. What is the required upfront cost for the project? Will the full amount be paid prior to project completion?

 

           A: The upfront costs of the project to be paid out in May is approximately $525,000 for wire, pedestals, and

               Crow Wing Power to come in on time. There will be monthly progress payments to the contractor throughout

               the summer and a retainer fee of about 10% at the end of the project.

 

 

      4. Will the new set up include dedicated 30-amp and 50-amp outlets to eliminate the need for adapters?

 

          A: Yes, there will be a 50-amp plug, 30-amp plug, and 2 20-amp plug-ins in each pedestal. There should be

             no need for an adapter.

 

 

      5. Will all currently connected electrical facilities on individual properties be reconnected without additional charges?

 

         A: No, anything that was added to your individual lot will not be reconnected through this assessment. Owners will

             be responsible for any reconnections they may need.

 

 

      6. Has a through survey been completed for each power box? Will individual owners be notified in advanced of any

         potential disconnections or additional costs?

 

         A: A locate will be performed on each lot, however, please be aware, locators do not locate private power

              lines, they only locate the utility lines that belong to Crow Wing Power, Spectrum, and TDS. Any private

              power, water, or sewer lines on an individual lot will need to be located by owners, and at the owner's expense

              before work starts on their lots. Contractors will not be responsible for unmarked and mismarked private lines.

              Individual owners will be notified in advance of when work will start in their area; in case they would rather not

             on the lot at this time. The most important items for owners to mark will be holding tanks and their lines, sprinkler/

              water lines, and private power lines within their lots.

 

   

        7. Last year's increase in annual dues was intended to help cover the cost of the Cluster 2 power upgrade. Will those

            increased dues be applied to both Cluster 1 and Cluster2? Or contribute toward the cost of the Cluster 1 upgrade only?

 

           A: There was no increase associated with the Fawn Lane electrical repairs. Our annual maintenance fees are increased to

               cover increases in annual services, salaries, and maintenance expenses.

 

 

        8. If the total project cost is $800,000, could you please clarify the reason for the $876,600 total being assessed across 349

         properties? What is the intended use of the additional $37,600? Will any unused portion be refunded to owners, and can a written

         for these funds be provided?

         

         A: There are some contigency dollars included in the $2,400 assessment. Any dollars left over from the project will be left in the

             campground accounts.

 

 

         9. Is the $2,400 assessment tax-deductible for owners as part of an energy efficiency or energy savings improvement?

 

            A: We cannot answer this question. Please consult your tax advisor or accountant as the are better suited to provide

               this answer.

 

       10. Will there be an option for owners of multiple lots to extend the payment period beyond two years; while maintaining

               the same interest rate?

 

           A: We are offering 3 different payment plans for owners:

                #1 is 5 months same as cash, no financing.

                #2 is 2 year financing at 8%

                #3 is 3 year financing at 8% (this is only offered to those with mulitple lots)

    

               Otherwise, owners are welcome to seek an equity loan or something similar from a bank or credit union if they want

               a different option.

 

 

        11. Were any additional fees--beyond the annual dues increase--charged to Cluster 2 owners during their power upgrade?

   

            A: There was never a due increase to cover Fawn Lane electrical repairs. Please see answer to question #7. Cluster 2 did

                 however have a special assesment in 2001 to help with the cost of paving Dove Street. Cluster 1 did not participate in that

                 assessment. 

 

        12. Are we still contributing toward the cost of Cluster 2 upgrades? If so, will the dues be reduced once that obligation

              has been fulfilled?

 

            A: Neither Cluster 1 or Cluster 2 owners paid or contrbuted anything extra to help with the Fawn Lane electrical repairs.

                Please see the answers to questions #7 and #11.

 

       

        13. Will the comfort stations and pool area also be upgraded? Are the owners paying for this or the park?

   

             A: No, we are only updating the campsites, and the wiring to them.  

 

 

        14. We would like to see a breakdown of the owners' financial records for the past three years. Dues paid, with a detailed

             breakdown of how they are spent. We'd like to have these mailed out yearly with the new monthly.

 

             A: The Whitebirch campgrounds are not an association. This is a for-profit company, solely owned by Whitebirch INC; therefore

             the financial records are not public information. We do, however, provide a detailed copy of how dues were spent for the last year. It

             is available for viewing in the campground office at the any owner's request every year.

 

 

        15. We suggest the owners of the road to be invited to the May meeting.

 

           A: Jeff and Desirae are the Whitebirch INC. representatives and will both be present at the May meeting.

 

    

        16. Is there a percentage of the project breakdown? Owners and Park percentage of the cost?

 

            A: No, we are only upgrading the wires to the campsites, and the pedestals on the campsites. The amenites are

             already appropriately wired. See question #13.

 

 

        17.  Will the existing power boxes be relocated or removed as part of this upgrade? Or just have the wires disconnected? May we

            request the old boxes be left in place? This gives some folks an option to back feed their old infrastructure.

 

          A: Existing power boxes will be disconnected and removed. We will attempt to sell the old boxes, and monies gained from the sale

            will be depositied in the campground accounts. The grid wires will be abandoned and left buried.

 

 

        Some reminders for all owners in Cluster 1:

 

       * If an owner opts for one of our financing plans, please be aware that we will recording these contrcts with the County Recorder, so

        we will be charging the owners the recording fee.

 

       * The State Electrical inspector  has advised that to help prevent these issues from occuring again, supplemental farm panels should not

          be used or reconnected.

 

      * Cluster 2 has tarred roads, whereas Cluster 1 has gravel roads. There is a portion of Cluster 2 maintenance fees that goes to road repairs

         in Cluster 1 for the past 25 plus years at approxiamately $7,000 to $10,000 (dependent on weather) annually. 

 

      * We did vote on paving the roads in Cluster 1, a potential special assessment, but that vote was soundly defeated. Whereas, this electrical

         upgrade has been deemed a necessity due to safety and liability issues that all Cluster 1 owners would share in.

 

       * Also, as previously mentioned in question #11, Cluster 2 owners did pay a special assessment for helping with paving Dove Street. Cluster 1

          owners did not share in that cost.               

 

 

      Thank you,

      Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

          Wells 1 & 2 are chlorinated and flushed. If you smell a bleach smell in your line, please flush it until the smell is gone.

 

       

          All the Comfort Stations (except #3) are open now. We turned off the heat in Comfort Station #5.

 

 

          Wells 3 and 4 will be chlorinated on Thursday after well 3 is repaired (control box issue).

 

  

           Thank you,

            Desirae

            WBCC Manager 

5/6/2025

 

 

       Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

 

       Another gorgeous day here at the campground. The grounds are greening up nicely!

 

 

      

      Wells 1 and 2 are sitting while the chlorine does its job. We replaced the spigots that needed attention! Thank you for your patience

       during this time. We will switch over to those wells tomorrow and the other two will be chlorinated on Thursday. One was a little stubborn...

 

    

         Jayson Benage is back at it! His new number is 218-820-6277. He does yard clean-up, stump grinding, and hardscaping.  

 

 

       We had a check left in our mailbox in a plastic bag. Can that person give us a call in the office or on the cell phone?

 

 

       Thank you,

        Desirae

       WBCC Manager 

       

5/3/2025

 

      Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

       What beautiful day is it is today!

 

     

        Reminder: We have not chlorinated the wells yet. The company will be here Tuesday to get the first two and Wednesday for the next two.

 

 

 

        Comfort station #4 (The Clubhouse) is operational and will be open when the office is unitl more staff arrives. The Men's side

          showers are not clean yet. (I tried, but I am only one person doing the work of six!!!) The other two Comfort Stations will be

              up and running by next weekend!

 

 

 

        Laundry in Comfort Station #5 is open and ready for use. Ed (the pool guy) has a lot of stuff out at the

           moment so that laundry won't open unitl next week!

 

 

 

          We have a couple more really leaking spigots to fix in Cluster 1 so there will be another water outage on Tuesday. We will be doing it right

             away in the morning! 

 

 

         Have a wonderful weekend! 

          Desirae

          WBCC Manager 

4/29/2025

 

    Hello WBCC!

 

      

 

       Water is on!

 

         We were unable to get chlorinated yesterday due to the storm (our well company is based further south). They will be here Tuesday morning

        to chlorinate!

 

 

         Comfort Station #3 does have a pipe issue and will not be open until fixed. Comfort Station #2 will be cleaned and ready for use by the

         weekend. It is not heated! We haven't check Comfort Station #4 (The clubhouse). We will work on that tomorrow.

 

          

          If you are located in the Fawn Lane area, make sure to run you spigot for about 10 to 15 minutes before you hook it up to your

           camper. This will make sure the sediment is out of the line! 

 

 

 

         From Corporate: The credit card machine is up and running!

 

 

 

          Thank you,

           Desirae

     Hello Everyone!

 

    

     Water Update: We have been able to talk with the excavation company that deals with our in ground valves that

      need replaced. We have a blow out valve and an inline sewer valve that are in need of replacing at this time. After

      speaking with them, they are still seeing some frost in the ground at this time and will be out late next week to check

      out the valves and hopefully replace them!

       We are shooting for the week of the 29th to turn the system on and get water flowing! If anything changes, we will let you know!

       We have recieved a list of 13 questions that have been floating around Facebook regarding the Cluster 1 electrical

        upgrade. All questions will be addressed on May 24th during the meeting. As much as we love to talk on the phone,

         please do not be insulted if we don't answer the phone or email immediately. We are trying to get other aspects of the

         campground open, like the water, the pools, and the other comfort stations. Quite frankly, my voice is surviving on lemon

        and honey water at this time....

 

 

 

         The number one thing everyone needs to understand, the only option regarding this project we didn't have was to do nothing.

        

 

       Thank you,

        Desirae

        WBCC Manager

    Hey Everyone!

 

      I know this is an inconvenience, but I have a family matter I must attend to. I will be back in the office at 8:30 am. I will have

       the cell phone for emergencies but if I don't answer right away, know that I am dealing with some issues regarding my

       daughter. I am so sorry for this.

 

        Thank you,

         Desirae

        WBCC Manager

 

 

4/15/2025

 

     Good Morning WBCC!

 

      Cluster 1 Owners: Please be respectful when calling Shanna as she doesn't know the answers to some of the questions

       you may be asking. Some questions are ones that Jeff or myself may be able to answer.

 

      Here are some of the answers to common questions so far.

 

       No, we will not be metering individual sites! It wasn't even a discussion.

 

      Unfortunately, the bid did go up between the fall, the letter, and now! We had to order more wire and all the bids did increase

       over the winter. But....we did manage to miss the tariff hikes.  

 

      Yes, you are able to pay upfront or ask for a payment plan. I don't know the details of payment plans. Please call Shanna at

      218-562-7578. She will have those details. Like mentioned, she will only know questions regarding payments. All other questions

      should be directed toward Jeff or myself.

 

       Like mentioned in the letter, we understand that some of you may feel your voice was taken from you when we didn't hold a vote.

       The more we dug into the problems down there, the more it became apparent that it wasn't an option to do nothing. Remember, if

       anything were to happen, like a fire, all owners in the cluster would bear the liablility of any damage beyond the campground.  

 

       Yes, this project will be started and completed in this season. I will not leave here this fall without it completed. It is our hope that

       by the time 4th of July, we will have enough of the sites on the new grid, that we shouldn't see any outages.  

 

       Yes, management will keep owners informed of what is going on. There are planning meetings regarding plans of action

        in the next few weeks. We will know more about the project plan itself then. We will keep you in the loop!

 

         There are a few questions that I would like to clarify myself before answering. I will be digging into them over the next week!

 

       After the main meeting on May 24th, we will be available for Cluster 1 owners to ask questions. We are trying to work with the

       electric company to have a person who can explain the technical side of things. Of course, this will be dependent on their

       availablility.  

 

        Thank you,

     Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

      The office will be closed at 1 pm today due to a previous engagement. Management has the cell phone if there is an emergency.

      The boneyard will remain open until this evening. The office will reopen at 8:30 am tomorrow morning.

 

      Cluster 1 Owners:

         Your due statements will be in the mail no later than April 15th. Dues for the year remained the same as last year's. Statements

         will include the final number for the special assessment.

 

        This year, we will not be able to take credit/debit cards for dues in the campground office. Corporate has a new system and will need

        to take them up there. We can take checks and cash for dues in the campground office. We will still take credit/debit for anything else

         as soon as we get our square set up.

 

           We found landscape pavers in the dumpster!!! These are the types of items that Range Disposal is talking about regarding prohibited

          items. We will have rolls offs closer to Memorial Day for these items.      

        Thank you,

        Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

         The roads are quickly clearing from the snow storm we had! Comfort Stations #1 and #5 are both clean and ready to use. The woman's side

          has heat finally in CS #5. There are two toilets that need replacing in CS #1. They have their tank lid over the seat, please do not use them!

         We are working on it!

 

         The exit gate arm in Cluster 2 didn't fair so well in the heavy, wet snow. We are working on getting it replaced. We are also aware of the issues

          it is having. We will have our gate guy come do his annual maintenance soon, we will assess it then to figure out the issue!

 

 

          Message from RANGE DISPOSAL: If they continue to see items that are prohibitated in the garbage, they will have to raise their rates to

          compenate for the fines they recieve for these items when they don't catch them. If the price of garbage goes up, your dues will go up!

          So please, HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE ONLY in the dumpsters. Don't be the reason dues go up!

 

 

         Thank you,

     Good Morning WBCC!

 

     We are officially in the office. The plan is to hold office hours Tuesday-Saturday, 8:30AM to 4:30PM. The boneyard will be open during those hours

         for now. We will be spending the day today getting Comfort Station #1 and #5 ready for owners. With this said, we would like to mention that we

       predicted to get a decent amount of snow starting today. We have heard totals ranging from 3 inches to 12 inches. Apparently, mother nature decided

        to join in on the April Fools activities! If for some reason we get a good amount of snow, we will not have office hours tomorrow. We will try again Thursday!

 

      See you soon!

         Good Afternoon WBCC!

 

        

           A couple of things:

 

            We have switched to a new collections system over in the corporate offices. While most of you are really good about notifying us about address changes, we

            are asking anyone who hasn't updated an address with us since a recent move to call Shanna at 218-562-7578 to do so.

 

 

             This second announcement is sensitive in nature. We have spent the entire season cleaning up the past due maintenance fees. We have placed anyone that has not

             contacted us over this season into collections. While going through this process, we noticed we had a small group of properties that were being neglected

              physically and financially. Upon further investigation, it was found the owners were passed for a period of five years or more (19 years being the longest).

              We are asking for a couple things:

 

               1. Current Owners: Please think about planning for your property after your death. There are trusts and other methods of property transfers after death.

                    This type of planning will help your family members out tremendously during this time.

 

                2. Relatives and Heirs:  We are asking that if you are dealing with a property of a lost love one, please keep us in the loop with the process.

                     We currently have a few in limbo that are being sold or family is deciding what to do with the property that have been great about letting us know where

                      they are in the process. We also have a couple that have been told that we will no longer be taking payments from them and all access to the property

                      is restricted until the property is in a living person's name because the probate periods have long gone. We understand that mourning your loved one is

                      a process and takes time, but we still have to conduct our business. As long as you continue to communicate what steps are being done in regards to the

                      property, we will continue to work with you. If you neglect to stay in communication with us, we will assume the property to be abandoned and move towards

                      liens and eventual procurement of the property for resale. There is also the added expectation that the property is still maintained. This means make sure the

                      lawn is mowed and all debris is removed.

 

                   During the off season, the point person regarding issues like this will be Shanna. She can be reached at 218-562-7578.

 

 

                 Thank you,
