Greetings neighbors.  I hope you are bundled up warm in your homes or somewhere warm.  I wanted to wish all of you in Lakemoor Hills a very Happy New Year.  And we can stay happy if we take simple precautions.  I was informed today that one of our neighbors on Maloney Rd. has experienced a break-in and was burglarized. (between De. 15 & 22)   The house had no security system, no lights, no autos visible and was an easy target.  Please take care when you plan to be away from home.  Set your security system.  Tell your neighbors when you will return.  Leave on lights to make the house look occupied.  We can all look out for each other to help prevent this type of intrusions in the future.  Be safe.  Stay warm.  See you next year.

Just wanted to let everyone know that if they preordered pecans, they are here in the neighborhood and will be arriving at your door shortly.  The Garden Club ordered 2 extra cases and these bags of whole pecans and bags of pieces will be available are available for $12.50/ bag.  You can pick up some tonight at the LHHA meeting or place an order.  Once these are gone, there will be no more until next fall.  Thank you for supporting Lakemoor Hills Garden Club and their efforts to make Lakemoor Hills more beautiful.

Please join us at the Lake Hills Church on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 PM to hear the latest about what is happening in our neighborhood.  Our guest speaker is Captain Huff, of Knox County Sheriff’s Department who will bring information about a new security program S.E.E. is being adopted by Knox County.  He will explain how individual homeowners can partner with the Sheriff’s Department to help stop crime.  In addition to this we will hear from the Circle Lake Legacy Park team who will discuss progress on that project.  Natalie Landry, Knox County Stormwater, and Andrea Ludwig, faculty member with UT BioSystems Engineering and Soil Science, will be explaining how we can participate as a community in the planting of the Circle Lake rain garden.

Other highlights will include some exciting Holiday Celebration plans for the neighborhood.

Please join us for this last LHHA meeting of 2017.  Bring a neighbor too!

We have just submitted the list of Lakemoor Hills residents who renewed their LHHA membership to the Waste Connections waste removal company.  Each of you should see the discounted waste removal fee on your next bill.  If you have not renewed your membership yet ($25 due each Sept.), please do send in your renewal and you will be added to the next update.  That will enable you to receive the substantial discount in the following quarterly billing cycle.  Thank you for supporting our neighborhood organization.

Mary Jeffries was driving down Maloney today and lost her driver’s side mirror in a close encounter with a white motorhome just after noon on Sunday.    If you know the owner or were the driver of the motorhome, please contact the Mary at 865-300-4890.

LHHA is hosting the first Sip & Snoop event Thursday, October 12 from 5 PM – 8 PM.  Six homes in our neighborhood are on the tour.  There are NO MORE TICKETS AVAILABLE.

 If you have already reserved/ purchased your ticket, the tour starts at Lake Hills Church in the Lobby of the Fellowship Hall to check -in and pick up your admission packet starting at 4:45 PM.  As the event will end after dark, we suggest carrying a small flashlight to use as needed since we don’t have much street lighting within the neighborhood.

Also – Warning to Drivers!!  – Please be cautious along Montlake and Maloney as people will be walking along and crossing both of these roads.

Thank you, the Sip &  Snoop Committee.

Our Communications team has developed the ability for you to pay your LHHA dues online now through our website.  It is similar to the renewal process that you go through when you renew your auto license plate.

Go to www.lakemoor.org and log in with your user name and password.  Then select the tab across the top of the screen that says LHHA (to the left of RESOURCES).  That is a pull down menu.  Select HOA MEMBER DUES & RENEWAL at the bottom of the list.  There is information about the process, the address if you would just like to mail in your $25 check, or the ability to charge the renewal fee to a credit card.  (a small processing fee of $1.06 will be added).  Once your submit the information, you will immediately receive a receipt by email.

We hope this makes renewing your dues convenient and easy.

You recently received a bill for $25 to renew your homeowner’s dues.  About half of you have renewed to date.  We will be submitting the updated list to Waste Connections in the next couple of weeks, at which time the rate that you pay for garbage pickup may be impacted.

LHHA members receive approximately a 50% discount on this service.  Well over the cost of the membership dues.  So find that envelope and send your check in today to Tom Ingram, Treasurer at 2020 W. Velmetta Cr.  Thank you for supporting our organization.
