Thank all of you who came out to help on our Annual Neighborhood Cleanup Day.  There were a number of new faces that joined us this year.  We couldn’t get everyone to hold still at the same time for the photo, so here’s a representative group that were documented.

Here are some of the outcomes:

• 29 volunteers on Saturday and more before and after March 28
• 85 hours of volunteer time
• 600 lbs of trash collected
• 8 miles of roads cleaned
• 1/4 mile of shoreline cleaned & the embayment at Maloney Rd. park
• daffodils planted at the park
• weeds pulled, leaves raked at Bluff Point and Circle Lake greenspaces

Most unusual items found along the road:  4″ light fixture, ladies black lace panties, a wallet from a Seymour resident.

Big THANK YOU to Keep Knoxville Beautiful for providing the garbage bags, gloves and tee shirts.  And THANK YOU to Ijams Park for arranging the garbage bag pickup from Maloney Rd. Park.  But mostly – THANK YOU to the residents of Lakemoor Hills who take pride in their neighborhood and helped to make it beautiful!

With great gratitude from the Beautification Committee!!!

Please join us!!

1. Meet at the church at 9 AM to get your assignment, garbage bags, Tee Shirts (must be preordered) & safety vests, and have our group photo.
2. Dress warmly! Wear gloves and shoes that can get wet. I have 20 pairs of gloves to loan out, but they are large. If you have trash picker tools, bring them.
3. We will pick up trash along the roads, plant some daffodils, and clean up Maloney Rd. park.
4. We will deliver bags of trash to Maloney Rd. Park parking lot for pickup.
5. We must return the safety vests to Keep Knoxville Beautiful – so bring them back to the registration table at the church.
6. Pizza will be delivered about 11 to the picnic pavilion at the church.

ALSO – if you pre-ordered a carpenter bee trap, they will be available for pickup at the registration desk. $15/ trap. Checks payable to Lakemoor Hills Garden Club.

ALSO – if you have not picked up a bow for your mailbox, they will be available for $3 at the registration desk.

Thank you so much for caring about our neighborhood and helping make it beautiful!

Bruch pickup BEFORE Tuesday, March 31.  Get your brush to the curb immediately!

Ann Graf , Dogwood Trails Committee member, reports that the City of Knoxville will pick up one more time before the Dogwood Festival.  Brush will ONLY be picked up 1) if the house is on the Dogwood Trail, 2) if the lot has a house built on it – not on undeveloped lots;  and 3) if it is placed by the street before March 31.

Neighborhood Cleanup is 9 AM to 11:30 Saturday, March 28.                                                                                                                                              

Meet in Lake Hills Church parking lot at 9 AM for assignments.

Each volunteer receives a Tee Shirt from Keep Knoxville Beautiful and a pizza lunch.   If you plan to participate I need to know your Tee Shirt size.  (You don’t have to do your cleanup on Saturday if you have a time conflict – Just let me know what streets you plan to pick up and you still get your Tee Shirt)  I will pick up shirts for each volunteer from Keep Knoxville Beautiful Wednesday.  Please email me your size, by Tuesday, at [email protected].  Pizza will be served at 11:30 AM at Lake Hills Church.  I could use a volunteer to pick up the pizza.  Thank you!!

The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club sold out of the first run of Carpenter Bee Traps at the LHHA meeting.  We will construct the next group on Thursday, March 26.  If you want to order a trap, they will be available for $15 but you must preorder so we know how many to make.  To do so, email or call Kathy Proctor 599-7783 or [email protected].

Lakemoor Hills Garden Club has pink and green mailbox bows to spruce up your mailbox for Dogwood Arts Festival – cost $3 per bow.  Funds from the sale of these bows are used to maintain the landscapes on the common properties throughout the neighborhood.  If you would like to purchase one you can 1) contact Kathy Proctor 599-7783 or Ann Graf 254-4452 or 2) come to the Neighborhood Cleanup Day at 9 AM on March 28 in the Lake Hills Church parking lot.  Thank you for your support!

Spring is getting closer every day and with spring we have Dogwood Festival and warm weather.  The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club has constructed Carpenter Bee Traps ($15) to help you manage those pesky bugs that arrive with the warm weather and pink and green Bows ($3) for your mailbox.  Both will be available at the homeowners meeting March 17 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church.  These funds will be used to help maintain common properties throughout the neighborhood.

I received a request from a couple looking for a home to rent in Lakemoor Hills.  If anyone knows of a house that is available, here is Matt Reed’s contact information and his request.

“Hi! My name is Matt Reed — my fiancé and I are looking for a home to rent beginning this summer 2015. 

Lakemoor Hills would be ideal for us (I work downtown and my fiancé is a nurse at UT Med). If you know of anyone in your area trying to rent a full home, I’d greatly appreciate any information you might have! Thank you!”
