Woodhaven Weather Alert Siren Info
Here is a quick refresher on Woodhaven’s procedures for weather notifications and tips for taking shelter during inclement weather at Woodhaven.
» Note there is NO all clear siren, you should use your own judgement for leaving sheltered areas. Our procedures are mirrored after other cities and
municipalities. In fact, NO municipalities in Illinois have “All Clear” signals, as weather is unpredictable.
» We cannot tell you what the safest option for you is personally. All comfort stations and any OPEN facilities will be available for shelter. But please keep
in mind that traveling in vehicles can be just as dangerous.
» Have a Plan! Practice your family’s procedure and make sure all members know what to do in case of inclement weather.
» Invest in a weather radio and have plenty of batteries. The most up-to-date info will be released through the NOAA weather radio and the National
Weather Service.
The objective of Woodhaven’s Siren procedures provides advanced warning for staff and general Woodhaven public of conditions present for the devel-
opment of a tornado/funnel cloud in the immediate Woodhaven Lakes area. The sirens warn to say tuned to local weather reports and to be prepared to
take cover. Please remember, these are outdoor warning sirens and are not meant to be heard when indoors.
The sirens are activated when:
» Woodhaven Lakes receives a report by the NOAA weather radio, TV report, or public radio from the National Weather Service of a tornado warning
that includes the following areas: Amboy, Sublette, Woodhaven Lakes, southeast or southwest parts of Lee County.
» A phone call from the Lee County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) or Lee County Sheriff’s Department that a funnel cloud or tornado is
heading toward Woodhaven.
Reminder - Sirens are tested the first Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m., barring inclement weather. In inclement weather, testing is moved to the follow-

Taxes vs Assessments
Woodhaven is definitely a great place to get away from the grinds of daily life—work, traffic & noise. As with most hobbies and recreational activities,
however, there are varying degrees of financial costs and expenses that go along with the fun and relaxation, and Woodhaven is no exception.
When you make the commitment to yourself and your family to purchase recreational property at Woodhaven, you also make the pledge to accept the
accompanying financial responsibilities. Two of the primary financial obligations involved at Woodhaven are the annual Association assessments and the
yearly county property taxes. There is often a misconception that the assessment and county tax bill are one in the same. It’s very important to learn and
know the differences between these two expenses, what they provide, and who they are paid to.

Easter Events 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Rec Plex open 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Mark your calendars for a fun filled Easter weekend! Hop along with the Recreation Depart-
ment and the Easter Bunny as we search for eggs. Registration and Check-In will take place at
the Rec Plex starting at 11 a.m. The cost of the Easter Punch Pass will be $4 per child. From there
the hunt will begin through the grassy areas surrounding the Rec Plex. Everyone will receive
a special prize. We will also offer a special section of the egg hunt geared towards our younger
participants (ages 3 and under) who may not be ready for the “big” kids hunt. After the egg hunt,
stop by the Creation Station where we will be having a craft. The Creation Station (Arts & Crafts
Room) will be open for children to make an Easter craft. (This is included in the egg hunt fee.)
Children will be treated to a snack and drink as well. Bring your camera and capture the memo-
ries of your little ones enjoying this favorite Woodhaven activity. Be sure to see the Easter Bunny
who will be hopping around at the activities!
Spring Fling 2021 | 35 Years in the Making
Recovering from the economic recession and in an attempt to keep pace with the rapid-
ly increasing sales and use of properties at Woodhaven Lakes in the mid ‘80s, the Recreation
Department doubled in size going from 1 to 2 fulltime employees. One of the primary objectives
from the very beginning for the new Recreation Manager was to expand the “off-season” pro-
grams and offerings. It was then that we first experienced “Fall Festival” followed by “Spring
Fling” weekends.
We have much more planned than usual for this year’s Stay Golden Woodhaven Lakes – Spring
Fling 2021. Covid-19 restrictions will still be in place at this time, and throughout the summer
in one form or another, so planning for that now with lessons learned from last year, will ensure
many wonderful opportunities to celebrate all season long. One of the key factors to successful
event planning during a pandemic is to “spread out” as much as possible. We will be utilizing all
of the facilities and fields/parking lots surrounding them, both in the REC PLEX and WOODHAV-
EN LAKE areas. Further specifics as to exact times and locations of events and activities are still
being strategically planned

elsewhere due to last year’s cancellations, our marketers are overstocked
and looking to sell. Spending more time in our homes, many people have
been doing a lot of house clearing with an “out with the old and in with the
new" attitude that has been adding to the number of yard sale type vendors.
Covid-19 requirements will keep booth spaces 30’ apart from each other, as
well as across from each other. As a result and to keep the demand for booth
spaces available, the Open Market location will expand over into the once
