Annual Picnic – Saturday, August 15th, 2026
Hello Members,
Message from the President: The 2026 TWL Annual Picnic is almost here! We are excited to announce that our new showers are complete and ready for use, located near the campsites added last year. This year’s event will feature new activities for all ages, along with great music, food, and a variety of beverages at the bar. We look forward to seeing many familiar friends and welcoming our new members and guests.
To ensure the event runs smoothly, please note the following:
Parking & Transportation: Our groundskeeper and security team will be available to direct you to alternate parking.
Roadway Access: It is vital that roadways remain clear for emergency access. Please do not block or obstruct any roads; event staff may ask you to move your vehicle if necessary.
Volunteer Opportunities: We would greatly appreciate help with setup on Friday, assistance during the event on Saturday, and takedown on Sunday. These sessions count toward offsetting your annual workday requirements.
Thank you for your cooperation and help. I hope to see you there!
Please be advised that all members and guests are required to wear wristbands on Friday and Saturday. All attendees, including those not participating in the picnic, must register. Guests must be accompanied by their hosting member to complete this process. We will verify identification to confirm legal drinking age, and wristbands will be issued with the hosting member’s number. If you register on Friday, you do not need to re-register on Saturday provided you keep your wristband on. This process ensures that only members and authorized guests are in attendance. Please remember to bring your ID and note that wristbands are non-transferable and may not be shared.
To facilitate gate access this Saturday, two vehicle passes are enclosed for your guests. Please ensure your member number is clearly marked on each pass before giving them to your guests. Using these passes will allow for controlled access without the need to lock the gate or require you to personally meet guests for entry. Please note that members do not need a vehicle pass and may enter by showing their key card.
For everyone’s safety, access for all incoming traffic will be restricted starting at 12:00 PM on Saturday. Members and guests arriving between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM may park outside the gate on Finck Rd. After 5:00 PM, you are welcome to move your vehicle and park inside the grounds if you wish.
To reduce wait times at the meal ticket window, we will be implementing two separate lines: one for prepaid orders and another for same-day purchases. By purchasing your tickets in advance, you will save money and enjoy a significantly shorter wait time to collect your reserved tickets.
Guest Camping Fees are waived on Friday and Saturday night so please join us!
(Guests are required to camp within your camping area while visiting)
This year’s entertainment will include: Cornhole Tournament (Cornhole players please sign up by 1:30 PM), Music, Dancing, Snow Cones, Kids activities (plan to get wet) provided by the Women’s Auxiliary, Reptile Show, Bingo afternoon in the pool room. More events to be announced at the picnic. TWL Association & Women’s Auxiliary hats and apparel on sale/orders taken.
We need parent participation for supervising children at their activities. Contact Women’s Auxiliary President, Linda Wilcox 209-815-5261. Our annual picnic is successful because of your participation. To ensure this year is as enjoyable and safe as ever, we need your help and support. Please RSVP or contact us to volunteer. Sign-up sheets will be available at the wristband stations. We ask each member to consider donating three hours of their time on Friday or Saturday; this allows everyone, including our frequent volunteers, the opportunity to spend time with their families.
As a reminder:
– Conduct: Members are responsible for the conduct of their guests. Please follow all Ground Rules to protect your membership.
– Safety: Maintain a speed limit of 5 MPH or less. We have many children in the area relying on your caution.
– Water Usage: Please keep your freshwater tanks full. Due to rising power costs, watering is restricted to nights and weekends. Do not move or turn off water without permission from the Groundskeeper.
– Security: We are looking for volunteers to assist with security. If you can help, please contact a committee, staff, or board member.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping make this event a success.
