Member Notice of Proposed Bylaw Change
K
eeping Sherwood Lake Club Afloat…
The last time the Annual Dues were raised was January 1, 2021, and it was a significant amount going from $650 per year to $950 per year for A Members. No one likes to raise dues, especially on themselves. It’s especially unpleasant when the amount represents a large increase. However, The Sherwood Lake Club needs to keep ahead of inflation. The Lake Club’s expenses are increasing in salaries, maintenance, gasoline, supplies, accounting services, fireworks, water testing labs, mowing, cleaning and utilities. The Board of Directors have arrived at a method which seems fair and not overwhelming. The Board proposes tying an increase in annual dues to the Inflation Rate of the Previous Year. A full explanation and example are located below, along with the proposed new By-Law. Please read, please come to one of the Member’s Meetings, please call if you have questions, and Please Vote. The shareholder vote will take place at the annual meeting on January 27, 2026, 7:00pm, at the Sherwood Clubhouse. Thank you, Tom McBride SLC President
ARTICLE XVII DUES SECTION 1. The annual dues for members of the Club shall be established by the Board of Directors in accordance with this Article. The Board of Directors may impose a monthly penalty charge for nonpayment of dues or other accounts owed by members of the Club. SECTION 2. Purpose and Scope. To ensure that the Lake Club's annual dues remain in line with the economic conditions, particularly inflation and to maintain the financial health and sustainability of the organization, the annual dues will be adjusted each year based on the inflation rate over the previous calendar year, with adjustments taking effect at the beginning of each calendar year. SECTION 3. Annual Dues Adjustment Formula 1. Current Dues: The current annual dues for membership are $950 for Class A and $400 for Class B as of January 1, 2025. 2. Inflation Rate Reference: The inflation rate used to adjust the dues will be the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Midwest Region-Mountain-Plains CPI as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from November of the previous year to November of the current year. 3. Dues Adjustment Calculation: The annual dues will be adjusted each year by multiplying the current dues by the inflation rate for the preceding year, then adding that amount to the current dues. The formula for calculating the new dues will be: New Dues = Current Dues × (1 + Inflation Rate) Example: If the inflation rate for the previous year is 3%, the new dues will be calculated as follows: o New Dues = $950 × (1 + 0.03) = $950 × 1.03 = $980 o New Dues = $400 x (1 + 0.03) = $400 x 1.03 = $412

Member Notice of Proposed Bylaw Change 4. Annual Review: Each year, no later than November 30, the Treasurer shall calculate the new dues based on the CPI-U or equivalent inflation measure, and the dues for the upcoming year will be communicated to all members by January 1. SECTION 4. Duration and Annual Review 1. This bylaw formula for annually adjusting the dues shall remain in effect for five (5) years from the date of adoption. 2. After five (5) years, these adjustment provisions will be reviewed, and the Sherwood Lake Club Members shall vote on whether to continue, amend, or discontinue the inflation-based dues adjustment based upon the Board’s recommendation. SECTION 5. Exception to Annual Adjustment 1. In the event that the inflation rate is 0% or negative (deflation) in a given year, the annual dues will remain the same as the previous year's dues. 2. If the CPI or equivalent inflation measure experiences extreme fluctuations or if the inflation rate exceeds a threshold of 10%, the Board of Directors may call for a special review of the dues adjustment formula and consider a cap or modification to ensure fairness. SECTION 5. Ratification These dues adjustment provisions shall become effective upon approval according to the Lake Club ByLaws Article V, Section 9 and shall be recorded in the official minutes of the meeting. SECTION 6. Example Timeline of Dues Adjustments (assuming a 3% inflation rate) • Year 1 (Current Year): $950 • Year 2 (Adjusted for Inflation): $950 × 1.03 = 980 • Year 3 (Adjusted for Inflation): $980 × 1.03 = $1,009 • Year 4 (Adjusted for Inflation): $1,009 × 1.03 = $1,039 • Year 5 (Adjusted for Inflation): $1,039 × 1.03 = $1,070 • Year 1 (Current Year): $400 • Year 2 (Adjusted for Inflation): $400 × 1.03 = $412 • Year 3 (Adjusted for Inflation): $412 × 1.03 = $424 • Year 4 (Adjusted for Inflation): $424 × 1.03 = $437 • Year 5 (Adjusted for Inflation): $437 × 1.03 = $450 After five years, if the annual adjustment provision of this Article is extended, the dues will be adjusted based on the inflation rate for that year and following years, as per the foregoing procedure. If after five years, the annual adjustment provision of this article is not extended, the future dues will remain the amount to which the dues were last adjusted pursuant to the annual adjustment provision. Any amendment to this Article will require the approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the membership who vote pursuant to the provisions of Article V. Section 9 of these Bylaws. An amount of $100 included in the annual dues from each member shall be accounted for by the Lake Club in a separate accounting fund, and shall be used solely for the care and maintenance of Lake Sherwood. Any member who is delinquent in payment of dues and/or assessments shall immediately become ineligible to use any facilities of the Sherwood Lake Club, Inc., and such ineligibility shall continue until such dues and/or assessments are brought current, including all penalties. SECTION 7. Dues, assessments, and other indebtedness are a lien on the stock and no transfer can be made while the holder is indebted to the Lake Club. The Directors shall have the power to forfeit membership of any member who shall neglect to pay dues or other indebtedness within forty (40) days after the same became due. Fifteen (15) days notice in writing by mail or personal delivery shall be given before a forfeiture is declared by the Board of Directors. n

Fire Safety for the Holidays Winter Fire Safety: Protecting Our Homes and Families By Jason D. Schone, AEMT — Fire Chief, Mission Township Fire Department
A
s temperatures fall and winter traditions return, many of us look forward to curling up by the fire, gathering for holiday meals, and bringing festive decorations into our homes. While this season creates warmth and togetherness, it also brings heightened fire risk. In fact, winter is the leading time of year for home fires, largely due to heating equipment, cooking, electrical hazards, and holiday decorations. The good news? Most of these incidents are entirely preventable. Whether you’re hosting holiday guests, staying in to enjoy a quiet evening, or heating your home during the coldest months, these expanded safety tips will help keep your loved ones safe.
Deep-Fried Turkey: Delicious but Dangerous
For many families, Thanksgiving or holiday gatherings aren’t complete without a deep-fried turkey—golden, juicy, and irresistibly flavorful. But behind this culinary tradition lies a serious risk. Each year, turkey fryers cause hundreds of injuries and millions of dollars in property damage across the United States. Why are They Dangerous: • Deep-fried turkey fires escalate quickly—and often explosively. Contributing factors include: • Oil spillover: Super-heated oil can overflow when a turkey is lowered, igniting instantly. • Water + oil reaction: Frozen or partially thawed turkeys introduce water, creating violent oil eruptions. • Proximity to combustibles: Many fryers are used near garages, decks, or siding—which can ignite in seconds. • Once ignited, grease fires spread with astonishing speed. Even experienced cooks can find themselves overwhelmed. Safety Essentials: Fry outdoors, on solid, level ground—well away from structures Fully thaw and pat your turkey dry before frying Keep a Class B fire extinguisher within reach Never leave the fryer unattended Never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
If something goes wrong, the safest action is to move away and call 911.
Fireplaces & Chimneys: Clean Before You Burn
There’s nothing quite like warming your home with a crackling fire on a cold winter night. But fireplaces and chimneys, if neglected, can become hidden hazards. What to Watch For: • Creosote buildup: This highly flammable byproduct can ignite inside the chimney. • Cracked masonry: Damaged structures allow flames or smoke to escape into walls or attic spaces. Continue Reading on pg. 12
October – December 2025 • sherwoodlakeclub.org 11
Fire Safety for the Holidays
• Animal blockages: Birds, squirrels, and raccoons may nest inside during warmer months. • A chimney fire can roar to temperatures exceeding 2,000°F, spreading fire to nearby structural components.
Safety Essentials: Schedule yearly chimney inspections and cleanings Use a secure fireplace screen to contain sparks Burn only dry, seasoned wood—not trash or wet logs Fully extinguish fires before leaving or going to bed
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Investing in proper maintenance not only protects your home—it ensures a safer, more efficient burn.
Space Heaters & Heated Blankets: Unplug to Stay Safe
Portable heating devices help us stay comfortable through Kansas winters, but they are responsible for one in three winter heating fires. Today’s devices are safer than older models, but only when used correctly. Space Heater Safety: Keep at least 3 feet of clearance from curtains, bedding, and furniture Plug directly into the wall—not a power strip—to prevent overheating Turn heaters off when sleeping or leaving a room
✅ ✅ ✅
Just a moment of forgetfulness can lead to disaster. While modern heaters have tip-over and auto-shutoff features, these safeguards are not guaranteed. Heated Blanket Safety: Inspect cords for damage or fraying before use Avoid folding or bunching—the heat can concentrate and ignite fabric Keep pets away; they may chew electrical wiring Unplug when not in use or before bedtime
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Safer alternatives include layered blankets, warm clothing, and properly maintained central heat.
Christmas Trees: Water = Safety
For those who celebrate Christmas, few decorations bring more joy than a beautifully lit tree. But a driedout tree is one of the most dangerous holiday fire hazards. Once ignited, a dry tree can engulf a living room in under 60 seconds. Keep Your Tree Fresh & Safe: Refill the water stand daily—never let it run dry Keep trees away from fireplaces, heaters, and vents Use UL-listed lights; discard worn or frayed cords Turn lights off before sleeping or leaving home
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
If your tree becomes brittle, dispose of it right away. Don’t leave it drying in a corner into February—many fires start long after the holidays are over.

Smoke Detectors: Your First Line of Defense
A working smoke alarm is still the single most effective tool in preventing fire-related deaths. Yet nearly 3 out of 5 U.S. home fire deaths occur where alarms are missing or not operating. Safety Essentials: Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and on every level Test alarms monthly Replace batteries twice per year Replace the entire alarm every 10 years If you hear a chirp, replace the battery—don’t silence or disconnect
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Your life—and the lives of your loved ones—may depend on a low cost device.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors: A Silent Lifesaver
You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it—yet carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the most dangerous threats inside a home. Often called the “silent killer,” CO is produced by malfunctioning or improperly vented fuel-burning appliances, such as furnaces, fireplaces, generators, and vehicles left running in garages. Each year, thousands of Americans are hospitalized due to CO poisoning, and hundreds lose their lives. Most incidents occur in the winter when heating systems are in heavy use. Because CO is undetectable without technology, a working carbon monoxide detector is the single most effective tool to prevent accidental poisoning. Safety Essentials: Install CO alarms outside every sleeping area and on every level of the home Place detectors at least 15 feet away from fuel-burning appliances Test alarms monthly Replace batteries twice per year (or as recommended) Replace the entire detector every 5–7 years depending on manufacturer guidelines If your alarm sounds, get everyone outside immediately and call 911 from a safe location
✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Symptoms of CO exposure can mimic the flu—headache, dizziness, nausea, or confusion—often with no fever. If multiple people in the home become sick at once, take action immediately. Your family’s safety may depend on this simple device. A carbon monoxide detector costs less than a dinner out—yet it can save your life.
Fire Extinguishers: Small Tool, Big Difference
Every home should be equipped with at least one ABC-rated fire extinguisher, strategically placed where fires are most likely: the kitchen, garage, and near mechanical systems. Remember PASS P - Pull the pin A - Aim at the base of the fire S - Squeeze the handle S - Sweep side to side If the fire is spreading, producing heavy smoke, or threatening your evacuation route, leave immediately and call 911. An extinguisher is meant for small, contained fires—never put your life at risk.

LQEC Update
T
he SLC Board and LQEC extend thanks to the 25 members who deployed wattles on about 90 storm drains around the lake on Saturday, November 15. Members present were DeAnne and Kevin Beck, Bob Bobo, Kurt Bossert, Joy and Steve Dodd, Randy Forbes, Dennis Haugh, Brad Hopper, George Hopper, Al Hunt, Greg Johnson, Mike Kongs, Chris Likos, Tracy Lynch, Joe Mans, Jeff Muller, Mike Munson, Casey O’Brien, Jeff Peterson, David Quarnstrom, Kyle Schmidtlein, Rob Seitz, Travis Stryker, Chuck Towle, and Eric Bauer, Lake Club Manager. Trailers were provided by Steve Brewster, Tracy Lynch and Eric Bauer. We also want to thank Sherwood Improvement District and Mission Township for once again partnering with us. You will notice that there are fewer wattles than in previous years. Over the past four years, we have diligently monitored the drains throughout the late fall and winter season and have been able to identify more accurately the drains that are problematic. We will continue monitoring but can use your help. Decomposing leaves release phosphorous which is detrimental to the overall health of the lake. Once these leaves enter the lake, the damage can be significant. If you observe leaves, sand or other debris in front of wattles, please remove and discard of it appropriately in your own trash receptacles or at the clubhouse dumpster. If you notice missing or damaged wattles OR need help with debris removal, please contact the SLC office or Steve Dodd at 913-481-0911. n
