In April 1970, Lake Waynoka was started by American Realty (Lake Waynoka, Inc.). A campground and a large sales force were established over five states to encourage campers and future residents to come to Lake Waynoka. The civic club was formed to encourage communication between the developer and the property owners. In 1975, the lake development was 95% complete and the developer filed for bankruptcy.

A board of trustees was formed in 1976, the Waynoka Development Corporation (NACO) purchased and proposed to finish sales and install water lines. The trustees represented the property owner’s option to purchase the water plant. In 1979 the new code of regulation was revised. In 1985, Tim O’Farrell was hired as manager. In 1986, the lodge was remodeled the first time since it was built in 1977. The lounge was separated from the lodge. The need for a Civic Club arose when the property owners needed a forum to express concerns, hopes, fears, and ideas during the time American Realty Company was developing Lake Waynoka in 1974.

In 1977 the club presented the first flag to the WPOA, and sponsored the first Waynoka Day. The club has had a proud history of volunteer tasks to improve, maintain and beautify the community. In 1985, the club compiled a 183-name telephone directory. Today, the phone book has over 450 entries and is being produced by the WPOA.

The club participated in the Needy Family Program in the late 1980’s, and sponsored a sunshine committee to support all members of the lake. The club made purchases to benefit Lake Waynoka such as chairs for the lodge, shared cost of marina lighting, repair and paint cannons at the front entrance, window blinds for the lodge and Christmas lighting at the front entrance.

The club continues to do volunteer community tasks such as, back gate landscaping, painting the cannons at the front and back gate, painting the concrete benches at the recreation center and the lodge. We continue to sell Lake Waynoka apparel (sweat shirts, t-shirts, hates, etc.) to promote community pride. We provide donations to other lake club activities, as well as other local community activities. We sponsor the community wide garage sale on the 3rd Saturday in May and the annual fireworks on Labor Day weekend.
