Hello, Team LMOA,

Thank you for taking the time to read the GM Corner. Please continue reading for LMOA's official news update:

RocDun Event Postponed Due to Threat: In January, LMOA learned that a resident had booked a ticketed event with RocDun Hospitality LLC, the vendor leasing Bunker Bistro and the rooms at the Fairway Clubhouse. Tickets for this event, a drag brunch fundraiser, were sold by the event coordinator, and it quickly sold out. Since the event was neither booked nor sponsored by LMOA, it was not marketed by the association. During the January Board meeting and through emails, LMOA became aware of concerns from some residents regarding the event, as well as information about a planned peaceful protest. In response, LMOA coordinated with the Lake Monticello Police Department to monitor the event and respond appropriately in case any disturbances occurred. However, on Wednesday, LMOA received a credible threat, which triggered an investigation and an Emergency Management Meeting. Thursday, LMOA sent the statement below to the resident who organized the event, Roc Dun Hospitality LLC, and the Board:

“On February 19, 2025, the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association received a threat of violence against the Drag Brunch at Bunker Bistro scheduled for February 22, 2025. This threat was reported to the Lake Monticello Police Department, prompting LMOA and RocDun Hospitality LLC to postpone the event for law enforcement investigations.
 
The Lake Monticello Police are working with the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies on this investigation, classifying it as a hate crime. All efforts will be made to identify the person or persons responsible for the threat and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. As this is an active investigation, further details cannot be released at this time. In making this decision, the safety of our residents and guests is our top priority.”

Please understand that LMOA staff cannot share any other details at this time due to the ongoing investigation. Thank you.

Upload Photo for Pool ID: Facilities & Operations Director Tracy Chandler plans to present a Resolution Proposal with a detailed plan for the 2025 pool season at next week’s board meeting, where he hopes to gain the Board’s approval. As you know, voting members in good standing will receive 25 free pool credits this summer. We are implementing changes, including the introduction of Member IDs for check-in via an app or plastic card to streamline the process.
