Neighborhood Clean-Up Day is March 21st, from 9-12 noon. A Beautification Committee representative will be in the church parking lot with gloves, trash bags, pickers and safety vests provided by Keep Knoxville Beautiful. If you are unable to come on March 21st, some neighbors volunteer to take their street or areas and clean up any time the week before March 21st. Please message Cindy McLaughlin at 865-599-7239 for which street or area you wish to collect trash. This is done just before the opening of the Dogwood Trails. Thank you for your support!

LHHA Beautification Committee is soliciting money to assist with the maintenance and upkeep of the three roundabouts and neighborhood sign in Lakemoor Hills. As many of you know, LHHA has agreed to maintain these roundabouts, which include mowing, mulching, and weeding. If LHHA did not undertake this project, the alternative is to have the City of Knoxville mow over these roundabouts three times a year.

The anticipated cost is approximately $3,000.00. In the past, LHHA has received a total of $1,000.00 from Lakemoor Station Apartments and Sevier Heights Church. We anticipate the same contribution this year.

Our goal in this solicitation is to raise $1,000.00. Any money received above this amount will be earmarked for the Beautification Committee to help defer any expenses they have in their projects throughout the year.

LHHA is an umbrella organization with the goal of making Lakemoor Hills a great place to live. If you’d like to donate to this worthwhile cause, you can mail a check, use Venmo, or contribute on the LHHA website. Please see below:

 Please note that your contribution is for the LHHA Beautification.

I spoke with Jason Halliburton (Knox Country Parks & Rec maintenance supervisor) today. He stated they have never maintained the Park, and that it does not belong to Knox County Parks. Maintenance needs are the responsibility of our community to arrange. More information is coming to light regarding park ownership and past maintenance activities. The BOD will discuss how to approach future maintenance needs at our March board meeting and communicate the process when it is confirmed. Please direct any future Legacy Park needs or concerns to Lakemoor Hills HOA.

Please refrain from using the church parking lot and walking trail during the service unless attending the service. Thank you.
