Committees

Support for Emergency Response Team

by

LHHA Emergency Response Team is soliciting donations to assist and help defray costs for the individuals that assist with storm damage in LH. For many years, Ron “Gator” Garlin and Jason Blasdell have graciously volunteered their time in removing down trees and assisting getting power restored in LH. Although these two are volunteering their time, the LH Board thought it was appropriate to solicit donations to help assist in partially defraying the cost in their volunteer work.

The LHHA is an umbrella organization with the goal to make Lakemoor Hills a great place to live. Gator Garlin and Jason Blasdell have certainly been wonderful neighbors in helping LH neighbors and the LH neighborhood.

If you’d like to donate to this worthwhile cause, you can mail a check, use Venmo, or contribute on the LHHA website. Contributions will help with providing gift cards to these two neighbors to show our appreciation for all they do to help make LH a great place to live. Please see below:

Please note that your contribution is for the LHHA ERT.

LHHA Beautification Committee Needs Your Help and Support

by

LHHA BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE needs your help and support to maintain the LH roundabouts, LH sign and other projects.

For the last couple of years, the LH Garden Club and others have mowed, pulled weeds, and planted at the roundabouts. It is getting difficult for the same people to continue doing these activities.

LHHA is an umbrella organization with the goal to make Lakemoor Hills a great place to live.

LHHA is looking into contracting out the work to maintain the landscaping in LH. We certainly do not want these areas to become overgrown with weeds that get mowed by the City/TDOT three (3) times a year.

If you would like to donate to this worthwhile cause, you can mail a check, use Venmo, or contribute on the LHHA website. Please see below and thank you for your support.

Beautification Committee – Subject: English Ivy Removal

by

While Kudzu is the infamous “Vine that ate the South,” English Ivy is his nasty little brother. As the years tick by, Lakemoor Hills is suffering more and more from unchecked English Ivy growth on our beloved trees. This evergreen perennial vine can grow up to 90 feet with proper support. The vines smother and weigh down your tress. Oh and it is unsightly too.We encourage you to cut these vines to stop the growth and then maintain. It’s easy and rewarding work. Now is the time before spring foliage growth kicks in making some tree harder to access. I included a link from UT AG Extension for further info.

SPECIAL NOTE – DO NOT pull the vines from the tree. This will damage the bark creating other problems for the tree.

PERSONAL NOTE – I have been spending an hour here and there cutting even hiking into the woods around me cutting on other property. Simply cut at the bottom of the trunk separating the vine at the ground. I then pull the vine up from the ground leaving the vines on the tree alone. It takes a awhile for the vine to die on the tree…it eventually will and flake off. It’s tempting to pull even when dead but please don’t.

An update from the Traffic Safety Task Force

by

The site has been updated with resources and documents from the Traffic Safety Task Force. Here is an excerpt from Eric Zeanah earlier this week:

Just an update from Timberlake. If you drive Timberlake in both directions, you will see at least three home signs families have created. One is very creative out of wood. But what really pleased me is I stopped to visit with Marcia Finfer, who walks her three dogs on Timberlake daily. I asked if she had seen an improvement since we started our efforts and her response was an enthusiastic, “Absolutely!”. Below is the e-mail she sent back in January when I had open discussions with the street before we started. She is now extremely appreciative.

“I have three dogs, as you all know, and have almost been hit twice.  Bernie also was run off the road while walking the mutts.  It has been suggested that I take the dogs to a dog park for their walks so that drivers don’t have to slow down.  Rumble strips will not stop the speed and assumed rights of drivers, and the strips might be quite annoying to neighbors who are close to the road.”

Let’s get the message posted. I am traveling the next two weeks but can be reached by e-mail. There has really been a difference on our street.

Thanks,

Eric
