Hello I am Gretchen Peterson. I have worked for The Clerk of the Circuit Court in Cook County Illinois for 27yrs.  I have been enjoying Lakewood with my family, that have owned cabins up here, for the last 30yrs. I finally had the opportunity to buy my own slice of paradise 3yrs ago and have been loving it up here even more.

Vickie Fugazzotto - Interim Treasurer

Resigned Term 2024-2027 / Interim Term 2025-2027

Vickie’s bond with Lakewood is deeply personal. Her parents, the Vivar's, were among the original property owners, spending weekends at their beloved A-frame cabin—planting trees, tending the yard, and creating a peaceful retreat for their grandchildren. When they retired to Florida in 1997, Vickie stepped in to preserve the property and the memories it held, ensuring that her family could continue enjoying Lakewood for generations to come.

Today, Vickie still treasures quiet weekends at Lakewood with her parent's now-grown grandchildren and extended family—except, of course, during the lively Fourth of July celebrations, which she embraces with joy and enthusiasm.

Professionally, Vickie is a retired business executive with over 30 years of experience in finance, accounting, and auditing. Her career spans both small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, where she built a reputation for precision, integrity, and a deep commitment to transparency. She brings a strong foundation in budgeting, financial reporting, and asset stewardship—skills she now channels into supporting the Lakewood community.

Vickie holds a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and Accounting. With her blend of professional expertise and heartfelt dedication, she looks forward to contributing to the Lakewood POA board and helping ensure the community continues to thrive.

Barb Berken - Interim Secretary

Resigned Term 2023-2026 / Interim Term 2025-2026

I have been excited to volunteer for the Board and help keep communication transparent and flowing for all property owners.

I graduated UW-Whitewater with a bachelor's degree with an emphasis in Communication and Sociology. I am a credit union industry professional for the past 28 years and have served on boards and reported to boards throughout my entire career. My background includes leadership, operations, accounting, auditing, information technology, digital operations and project management.

I have enjoyed Lakewood POA for 17 years and have created some amazing memories here. I love all things outdoors and simply enjoying some conversation and campfires. Born and raised in Green Bay, I bleed green and gold and am always ready for some team bantering. You will always find me on the water, hanging out on the deck with a good book and taking walks through nature. I appreciate the opportunity to serve the community and keep working to make the association all that it can be so that we can all continue to make some amazing memories here.
