Request for GoFundMe for baby Anderson
Many of you may have just received a request to participate in a fundraising campaign through gofundme on the behalf of baby Anderson. We are investigating if this is a credible request that is somehow associated with one of our members. Currently the LHHA does not have any information about a child related to a member of our organization that is in this critical need.
Our website may have been hacked giving this group access to our list serve.
If any of you have information about this please contact me. [email protected]

Video of Expansion of Alcoa Hwy at Singleton Station/ Little River
These are 2 videos that show the section of Alcoa Hwy that is in Blount County that exists between Singleton Station Rd and Little River bridge. Very interesting. It may take a couple of viewings to get the whole idea as the video moves pretty quickly.
Relocation of Alcoa Hwy at the Airport
In case some of you have not seen this video, please enjoy. It shows you what TDOT has planned for the section of Alcoa Hwy (the motor mile) adjacent to the airport. I don’t have information on what the schedule is yet for construction. If anyone does, please share that info.
CPR Class is Filling Quickly
On Dec. 14 I announced a CPR class that will be offered at Lake Hills Church on Sunday, January 13 from 2 – 4 PM and many of you responded. There are a few spots still available. For information please see below:
Would you like to know how to respond when someone is having a cardiac emergency? You could be the difference for a family member, friend or neighbor.
As part of our neighborhood preparedness the Lakemoor Hills Homeowners Association is partnering with Lake Hills Presbyterian Church to bring the opportunity to be trained and certified in CPR.
The course will be CPR training in adult, pediatric, infant choking person training and basic AED use. The new technique is much less difficult than the original technique, and most people that can bend over adequately can be trained without difficulty. The course is an amazing advantage for those individuals to protect their family members, friends at their workplaces and in public places. In most cases, the need for the institution of a response is related to a family member or friend. This includes your children and grandchildren.
The course will be held at Lake Hills Presbyterian Church on Sunday, January 13 from 2 – 4 PM.
The cost for the course is $25. This includes the 2 year AHA AED & CPR adult, child and infant certification, personal barrier device (breathing mask to take home, and the required materials to complete the course.)
The class is limited to 50 enrollees. If you would like to participate, please contact Bob Proctor at [email protected] 742-9035.
Neighborhood Security Alert
Please keep your eyes open for suspicious activity near your mailbox.
Over the past few weeks there have been a few issues that have come to light regarding mail and packages, which you may have read about on our Facebook page. The pattern that seems to have developed indicates that some small items have gone missing from garages or carport areas and mail/ packages have been found discarded in odd locations that should have been (and may have been) delivered t0 homes on the following streets: Maloney, Montlake, Blow, Timberlake, Circle Lake , Ginn, Velmetta, Tall Pine, Mont Glen. The incidents have occurred predominately on FRIDAYs between 12:30 PM and 4:00 PM.
The postal service has been informed and has asked us to be especially quick to remove any mail from mailboxes that may contain checks or small gifts.
Please watch tomorrow to see if you see any suspicious activity and help us put a stop to this. If you have a camera system on your home, try to point one camera at your mailbox. Inform your Emergency Response Team representative or the LHHA leadership.
We can all work together to ensure that Lakemoor Hills remains the safest neighborhood in Knox County.

Update on Alcoa Hwy Landscape Presentation
This morning the Alcoa Hwy Beautification Council was invited to speak at the Knox Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) in the City County building. This group is made up of city & county mayors from Anderson, Blount, Knox, Loudon, and Sevier Counties in addition to a variety of other representatives. We presented our landscape plans for the Phase I portion of the Alcoa Hwy expansion project, with which all of you are very familiar.
The TPO told us before the meeting that they DO NOT endorse community projects. We asked them to endorse ours anyway.
They thoughtfully listened to the presentation and asked great questions. Then they voted to endorse the project, not just for the portion that is under construction right now outside our doors, but for the ENTIRE Alcoa Hwy Corridor – Knoxville to Blount County. A number of mayors asked for copies of the presentation to educate their constituents also.
This is the first, but important, step in acquiring the needed $330,000 for the initial installation of the landscape. City and county budgets are developed through the winter and voted on in the late spring.
But none of this would have happened without the support of this great neighborhood, our garden clubs, our sister neighborhood organizations on both sides of the highway and you.
Thank you so much!
