ARTICLE IV

BOARD POLICY AND CORPORATE BY-LAWS

From time to time the Board of Directors has seen fit to issue statements of “Board Policy” that deal with specific or unusual circumstances or problems not covered in the Rules and Regulations. Many, but not all, of these statements set forth since April 1, 1979, have been included in this publication of the “Rules and Regulations.” The membership is reminded that “Board Policy” statements are effectively Rules and Regulations, even though they are not included in this publication. The Board Policy statements cover subjects including, but not limited to, Clubhouse rental, Corporate property and coves, roads and utilities, and employees of Lake Tanglewood, Inc. A copy of all Board Policy and by-law’s for the conduct and governance of Lake Tanglewood, Inc., is maintained in a well-bound book at the offices of the Corporation, and is available for inspection during normal business hours. This issue supercedes all previous issues.
