Join the RomeRock Association for its Annual Meeting on Saturday, April 25th at 10am at Village Hall. The results of the election will be announced, the Treasurer’s report for fiscal year 2025 will be presented, the Directors will report on activities of the past year and discuss plans for the current year and beyond.

Refreshments will be served before the meeting. Please make an effort to attend as the growth and success of our association depends on the active participation of its members!

The Office will be closed due to the Annual Meeting. The drop box is available to drop off payments.

Note: As the parking lot at Village Hall is smaller than the Clubhouse, please consider carpooling.

Last week, if you were subscribed, you should have received a welcome text from our new text alert phone number (440) 508-0220. If you didn’t receive this message, ensure your sms phone is entered in your delivery preferences in the eblast and that our text alert number is saved in your contacts.

Note: These alerts are primarily used for RRA and lake-related communications and are one-way messages (replies are not received). County and Village messages including boil alerts, weather alerts, and other emergency notifications are sent through ReadyAlert.

Dues and assessments are payable by May 1, 2026. A late charge will be applied as follows: 2% for the first month of delinquency, an additional 5% for the second month, and a final additional 5% (totaling 12%) for three months of delinquency. Beyond three months, delinquent accounts are entered into the collections process. To avoid unnecessary charges, please pay your balance on or before May 1, 2026. You are welcome to make installment payments as soon as charges are applied.

Watercraft

Membership ID decals are available to Active Members only!

There is a length limit of 21ft for all powered watercraft and 28ft for all pontoon boats.

When applying for a decal, you must present a valid, current state registration to the RRA Office. If you are applying for lake access for a watercraft for the first time, you must also present the original or a certified copy of the title, in addition to the state registration. Due to postal complications, decals are no longer available for purchase online.

All watercraft on Lake Roaming Rock must be solely owned by an Active Member. No additional owners are permitted on a title or registration unless both are Active Members.

Owners will be required to sign a statement confirming adequate liability insurance coverage. Property owners are responsible for the actions of family members and guests while operating watercraft. Please ensure that everyone operating your watercraft is familiar with all State and RRA Rules.

If you sell your watercraft to another property owner, remove your lot numbers before the buyer takes possession to avoid potential citations for future violations.

The maintenance department will be performing culvert work on Morning Star Drive just north of Morning Point (near lots 2294 & 2176) beginning on Wednesday, August 13th. Work is expected take until Thursday, August 14th. During this time, the road will be closed to thru traffic. Please use Flame Lake, North Plaza, and Deer Run for a detour.

Due to the amount of rainfall we’ve received, the entire lake is currently NO WAKE. No wake indication strobe lights were turned on and are located on the Clubhouse, at Beach 2, Marina and other targeted areas. If the lights are flashing, the lake is NO WAKE.

Creating a wake while the lake water is high risks damage to docks and boats. Be cautious! High lake waters bring more than just water. If you are out on the lake, remember to be extra cautious of debris that may be in the water and hidden due to the muddy conditions.

Check on your docked boats. If the lake water is high and there is not enough slack in your line, the line can snap and your boat can float away. However, make sure to not have too much slack to where your boat can end up on top of your dock. If you have canoes, kayaks, paddleboats, etc. on your dock, you may want to consider moving them further away from the shore. Ensure your lot number is on ALL watercraft should they float away.

If you are not a full time resident, consider calling your neighbors to check on your boats.

Once the water recede to normal levels, we will turn off the No Wake lights.

As a reminder, the BMC document regarding property maintenance was unanimously passed by the Board of Directions this month. As of June 1, 2025 rules and regulations (many of which already appear in the Village ordinances) will be actively in effect. Although citations, fines and other possible legal action will not be imposed until a later date, it is necessary that as a property owner and member of the RRA you review these rules, inspect your property and take remedial action as needed. If you observe conditions of concern that are not on your own property, you may report these to the RRA office by completing a form online. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email the office or call 440-563-3170. Your friends, neighbors and RRA staff thank you for your cooperation.
