The annual meeting of the Galway Lake Campers’ Association took place on July 11, 2026 at 7:00 pm at the Ruback Pavillion. Attendees enjoyed samples of Fried Fish from our lake, followed by the general meeting. Minutes of the meeting are available on the GLCA website. The dues assessed for this season 2026-2027 will remain the same – $425.00. All members must remit payment in order to enjoy the lake.

Volunteers Needed

We need volunteers to assist with the repair and painting of the Candy Store/Bottle return building, and to mow the clubhouse field. The building is in dire need of repair and paint before this winter. Please help maintain this piece of our grove’s history. Please contact Thom Siragusa, tsiragusa@gmail.com.

The annual Galway Lake Association’s boat parade is August 1, 2026, beginning at 7:00pm. In honor of the 250th aniversary of America’s independence, the theme is AMERICANA, RED, WHITE AND BLUE! Residents around the lake are invited to decorate docks and shorelines and join the celebration.

Reminders:

Please do not place any construction debris in the dumpsters.

Please do not deposit tree limbs or brush in the leaf dump, which is located behind the fieldhouse. That area is for leaves only. We do not have room for branches, and the leaves disintegrate and compact naturally. Tree limb piles take much too long to do the same.

Please keep the vegetation around your property lines bordering the road maintained and clear. This is important for emergency responders to be able to enter our community.

The bottle return receptacles are only for bottles that have a deposit. Please do not place bottles without a deposit or garbage in these bins. Thank you for contributing your return deposits to the grove bottle fund. The money collected is used primarily for maintenance fees for the recreation field and clubhouse area.

Please be considerate of others while using the three public rights-of-way to the lake. Refrain from smoking while using the docks. Glass bottles are also not allowed in these areas.

Dogs must be leashed at all times when not on your own property. Please pick up after your animals!

Please pick up after yourself in any common area. Dumpsters are provided next to the clubhouse for your convenience.
