The picnic committee has designed a wonderful day for all of us to get together to visit with old neighbors and meet new ones.  This picnic is open to everyone living in Lakemoor Hills with lots of activities for children.    The following is information about the day and activities in which you might want to participate.

Date:        Saturday April 2, 2022

Time:       2PM to 6PM (arrive by 1:45PM to watch or march in the opening parade)

Location: Lake Hills Presbyterian Church grounds

Opening Ceremonies & Parade

The day will commence with a rumbling procession of the entrees in the car show bringing in our Grand Marshal, Ann Graf (1:50PM).  Immediately after that, the parade will commence with a ribbon cutting by the Grand Marshal.

Special note about our Grand Marshal. Ann Graf has worked hard chairing the Dogwood Committee for 12 years.  This is her last year chairing the committee, so we are sending her off with a big thank you and a Golf Cart ride in the parade!

Parade Info and Participation  

The parade route is one lap around the walking trail of the church grounds.  Please come out in time to either watch the parade (2PM) or better yet MARCH IN IT (be there at 1:45PM).

Pre-Parade Children’s Activity – Children ages 4 to 14 are invited to help design and paint the parade banner.  This will occur at 11am the day of the picnic at the church picnic tables.  One hour duration.

Greetings Neighbors

I know it doesn’t look like it today, but SPRING IS ON THE WAY!    The Dogwood Trail will open on March 31 with a ribbon cutting in our neighborhood.  So we need to get ready!!

This year we will hold our Neighborhood Cleanup Day on March 19 (next Saturday).  Some of you may not be available next Saturday, so I want to encourage you to take the time, when the snow melts, to select a street and take a walk and gather any trash that you see along the way.

If you do this, please email me and tell me what street has been cleaned.  That will allow us to focus our efforts on other streets in the neighborhood on Saturday.

For those of you that want to wait until Saturday, please meet at Lake Hills Church parking lot at 9 AM.  I will have garbage bags, pickers, safety vests and gloves for you to use.   We will also have pizza at 11 AM in the church pavilion to refuel you after your hard work!

Come join us and help make Lakemoor Hills sparkle!

DOGWOOD TRAILS BRUSH PICKUP

The Dogwood Arts organization has informed us that the City of Knoxville will be doing a complementary brush pickup within our neighborhood for ONLY those neighbors whose homes are on the Dogwood Trail the week of March 7, 2022.  All brush must be at the curb by March 6.

The city will NOT pick up stumps, logs or other large items.  This is for BRUSH ONLY.  They will also not pick up debris from unoccupied lots.

Please remember that this is a favor that the City of Knoxville is giving to the Dogwood Arts organization and to us.  They will come one time and not return later in the month.

Let’s all pitch in together to make Lakemoor Hills shine for our visitors when the trails open on March 31.  More news about the ribbon cutting to follow soon.
