The nautical procession begins around 8:00pm, followed by a post parade party at 510 San Carlos, Trish & Leroy Piser’s beachfront

 NOTICE:

Goose population directly contributes to the bacterial imbalance that results in swimmers itch which we have battled in the past. Therefore we will be conducting goose egg shaking as allowed by our Illinois goose control permit throughout the nesting season. Please remember it is a health care issue that requires us to regulate goose population. Our purpose is to maintain a beautiful and healthy resource for all members to enjoy. Your understanding and cooperation is most appreciated.

Please be aware that ALL watercraft are required to Post Member ID. The correct form for identification is the house number followed by the street code ( C - Collina Calle, E -  Eldorado, M - Maria, SC - San Carlos, SA - Santos, V - Valley Vista, Z - Zapata ) Three inch letters should be placed on either the right or left rear side. Example: 529 SC designates 529 San Carlos. This will aid greatly in the removal of trespassers.  

Runoff of lawn fertilizer into the lake is a major concern of the lake association. Fertilizers could increase the chance of an imbalance in the lake, causing the weed population to increase. If this occurs, more weed control chemicals are needed, which at a large amount may disturb all natural reproduction of the lake. Please be sure to follow the manufacture's instructions before using fertilizer or weed control in your yard. If any spills occur please contact a lake board member so immediate action can be taken to prevent contamination.
  Our lake is a precious resource, with the help of all Bonita Vista residents involved in environmental concerns, we can all enjoy the benefits of living near a well maintained lake.
