Presidents Message April/May 2020

I wanted to start of by saying that I hope everyone is healthy and safe. I know that we are all in an
odd and difficult time. We can and will get through this, but for now please continue to practice
cleanliness and social distancing to help stop the spread of the Corona Virus. Thank you all for
adhering to all State and CDC recommended precautions and guidelines.
Given the situation we are in, the board has decided to take precautionary measures by limiting the
functionality of the park. The playground and basketball court has been closed and roped of. Half of
the benches under the pavilion have been stacked to limit the number of people that can sit at the
tables.The boat ramp will remain open, but we ask that people not congregate at the end of the
dock or under the pavilion. Please take note of the safety precautions and park rules below. Please
be respectful of these temporary rules as they will be lifted as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.

Though all events through May have been canceled, we are hopeful we will be able to begin hostng events again startng with the Father’s Day Fishing Tournament. We will be keeping a close eye on when we can get back to normal, and will take all necessary safety precautions and distancing practices as advised by current guidelines. There is a chance that we will have to cancel if things haven’t cleared up. I will let everyone know as the dates get closer. Finally, I would like thank everyone in this neighborhood for the thoughtful and generous acts that have made this situation easier on everyone. From grocery runs to sharing sanitizer and masks, swapping puzzles and keeping spirits high with signs and paintngs, our residents have looked out for each other and reminded us all what makes IOP such a unique and amazing place to live. To all our kind neighbors:
Thank you.
