Ho! Ho! Ho!  Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and a Joyous Kwanza!  Santa is really looking forward to his annual ride through Montclair on Saturday, December 15.  PLEASE tell all of the children to be very careful, especially near the sides of the road when the fire truck comes by.  I PROMISE I will have plenty of candy for all of the good girls and boys.  If you should miss us coming by your street just look within the Montclarion and you will see all the way points along my route.  Afterwards, I hope your whole family will come down to Dolphin Beach in the early evening for some snacks, our Holiday Caroling and bonfire.

What will happen this Winter?

Those of you with docks on Lake Montclair must renew your dock applications for the New Year.  Dock applications must be renewed between December 1 and December 31 annually in order to avoid a 200 dollar late fee. There is a five dollar application fee that must be paid by check or money order only.  Click here to download the MPOA Dock Permit Form.

Please make sure that your Insurance Carrier is aware and that they have made all necessary arrangements to ensure that Montclair Property Owners Association is listed as additional insured, certificate holder, or that the insurance company will issue a letter to the MPOA stating that MPOA can not be listed; however, the insurance company will ensure MPOA that notification will be faxed or mailed to the MPOA office informing the MPOA of any change in policy, lapse in coverage, cancellation or renewal of the policy. The limits of liability per occurrence on your policy must be One Million Dollars and remain in effect as long as you own your dock.  MPOA is not responsible for contacting your insurance company; it is the responsibilities of the homeowner to have their insurance company provide the necessary information.  Also, if you have any flotation devices located on the water-rafts, floats, water trampolines, etc-make sure to store them away and out of sight during the winter months.

Greetings and Happy Holidays! ‘Tis that wonderful time of year of great food, family gatherings and gifts!  The Montclair Senior's holiday luncheon will be hosted at the MPOA building on December 13 from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m.  Come play bingo, partake in the White Elephant gift exchange, and listen to the Forest Park Jazz Ensemble perform holiday music.  For more information on this, please contact Jane Reuben at 703/583-8331.  Please reserve a space by calling MPOA at 703/670-6187, now until December 7.  Space is limited for this event.  

Be sure to catch Santa's Ride and the Holiday Caroling on December 15.  Mark your calendars so you and your family can catch the special treats Santa will pass out from the fire truck, beginning at 9:00 a.m.  Later in the evening at 6:00 p.m. at Dolphin Beach, Santa will be by the big bonfire helping lead carols along with passing out hot chocolate and cookies.  You don't want to miss out on these great holiday activities for your whole family!
