Hello Neighbors,

In the past week each of you should have received the renewal letter for your LHHA membership.  (Our calendar year runs from Sept. 1 to August 30.)  I tried to list many of the benefits that your small investment brings to you in the accompanying letter, such as the discount with Waste Connections, the Emergency Response Team that mobilizes during severe weather incidents, and the great neighborhood picnic and events.  And you know we have lots of other things going on!!

To remain a part of our homeowners’ association, please make your checks to Lakemoor Hills HOA and return your payment of $25 to Bill Stoess, 4000 Maloney Rd.  You could also bring the payment to the next LHHA meeting on Tuesday, September 11 (7 PM) at Lake Hills Church.  Or you can go online to www.lakemoor.org, log into the website and pay online.

Any additional tax deductible donations that you choose to make to improve our neighborhood should be written to the Lakemoor Hills Resource Council, our 501(c)3.

Your contributions will help us continue to improve our neighborhood and keep The Quiet Side of the River (Lakemoor Hills)  the best little neighborhood in Knox County .

I have previously mentioned to many of you that we have an opportunity to be involved in the naming of the new southbound exit road/ access road that is currently under construction to the west of Alcoa Hwy.  There is also a road to the east of Alcoa.  There are a few parameters [ we cannot use a name that is used elsewhere in Knox County & the name must meet MPC guidelines].  I had submitted to them Lake Hills Blvd. but that name is in use elsewhere.  I have received a few recommendations, but I would like to hear from as many of you as possible.  Here are a few to get your brains thinking creatively.  Please email me or post some ideas here or on our facebook page.  If they allow us enough time to discuss, this will be a topic at our next LHHA meeting in Sept.  If we have to respond earlier, I’ll let you know.

thanks, Kathy Proctor

I was contacted by a neighbor today with concerns about two asphalt paving companies that they saw were doing business in our neighborhood.  These two companies are reputed to have bad track records.   We have a listing of recommended contractors and subcontractors that neighbors have positive experiences with, but I do not think any asphalt paving companies are on that list yet.  If you have had a positive experience please share their name and contact information on the LHHA Andy’s list.  If you are doing or contemplating a paving project at your home and want to know the questionable company names, please contact me.  If you do not know how to post to Andy’s list, just send the information to Kathy Proctor and we will get it added to the list for you.  Thank you for looking out for your neighbors!

Well it looks like winter is here yet again, and sometimes winter brings us situations that take our power down in Lakemoor Hills.  Tuesday, April 17 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church we will have representatives from Lloyd’s Electric, who have provided back up generators to a number of Lake Hills residents, on hand to explain about back up power options.  They will talk about whole house generators, portable generators, neighborhood discounts and financing options.  If your electrical power situation makes you a little nervous, then come to this informative meeting to hear what the experts have to say.  The more of us that are involved, the deeper the discount.  Take advantage of this opportunity tomorrow evening.

WOW!!  You guys are great!  We had 33 volunteers to help with Neighborhood Cleanup Day over the two-day weekend.  Some brave souls tackled the tasks on Saturday despite the ugly weather and the rest of you showed up on Sunday, or even completed your commitment before the weekend arrived.  Thank you so much!

Now some of you must have really loved the gloves, safety vests and pickers that Keep Knoxville Beautiful LOANED to us.  But if you are finished with them, please stuff them in my mailbox/ paper box or come up the hill and leave on my front porch (2429 Lakemoor.).  I hope to return them to KKB on Tuesday.

If anyone still needs a pink & green bow for their mailbox, please see me or Ann Graf.  They are $5.  They have proven to hold up well in the rain so far!

Thank you again and now we are ready to put on the show for the Dogwood Arts Festival.  Trails open March 31.

Volunteers

It currently looks like we might be having significant amounts of rain on Saturday.  IF it is RAINING/ SNOWING at 8:45 AM on Saturday, March 24 then we will postpone the Neighborhood Cleanup until Sunday, March 25 at 2 PM.   We will still meet in the church parking lot at 2 PM on Sunday, pick up your supplies (garbage bags, gloves, pickers & safety vests) and get our assignments.  We will have Pink & Green Mailbox Bows for sale ($5) available also.  All funds go towards beautification of our neighborhood.

See you Saturday or Sunday!

The Beautification Committee is excited to announce that it is time again for our Spring Neighborhood Cleanup Day, this Saturday, March 24 at 9 AM.  We schedule this event each year right before the Dogwood Trails open to the public (this year trails open  March 31).  We will meet in the church parking lot at 9 AM to pick up supplies (trash bags, gloves, etc.) and then head out to our assigned street or job.  Many people will be picking up trash along all the roads in the neighborhood.  We also have teams that shine street signs; clean signs and doggie waste stations of mildew; spread mulch on common properties; sell Dogwood mailbox bows; pick up filled bags of trash and deliver to the waste station; and someone who prepares lunch for everyone afterwards.

Please join us Saturday for a little light work and then some pizza at the church pavilion by the tennis courts.  You will meet some great neighbors and really do a wonderful thing to help Lakemoor Hills be beautiful.

If you have a certain job that you are interested in doing, or a street that you will commit to pick up the trash, please email Kathy Proctor [email protected] or come to the LHHA meeting on Tuesday night to sign up.  Here are a few of our previous cleanup volunteers.  If you have safety vests, please wear them.

Please join us for our Spring LHHA meeting at Lake Hills Church at 7 PM.  This month we will have a guest, Stephanie Welch, who represents those of us who are city residents on the Knoxville City Council.  (Carson Dailey, our Knox County Commissioner, was not able to attend. He will be joining us at our picnic on May 5).  We will have updates on all the initiatives that are underway and then open the meeting to hear from the members about issues of concern or interest.  We hope you can help us as we develop the LHHA Board’s priorities for next year.  The nominating chair will present the slate of new board member nominees.  If you have someone that you would like to propose for a leadership position, you can do so at this time.  I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow night.
