It’s “Giving Tuesday” and I want to extend an opportunity to contribute to our neighborhood’s beautification!  We are having a 2-hour clean-up at Legacy Park and Gardens on Circle Lake Ln. this Saturday morning, Dec. 1st, from 9:30 – 11:30.  Please join us for a bit of leaf raking / blowing, a game of pick-up sticks, and some daffodil planting on the sunny hillside.  Coffee and muffins will be provided.  Please bring your own tools, tarps for leaves, etc.  We could certainly use some strong men to help us load / unload the leaves and sticks.  Thanks to Buzz Copeland for offering his trailer for leaf and limb removal!  Giving is a Good Thing 🙂

 

Reminder – Lakemoor Neighbors the beautiful Holiday Mailbox Toppers & Door Swags are available again this year. These are a great way to bring the holiday spirit to the neighborhood along with helping fund improvements to the neighborhood. See attached flier for ordering

After our Sip & Snoop, there was a lot of discussion spurred by a photograph in the Farr’s home depicting the river crossing near Blows Ferry.  One of our neighbors, Sally Branson, saw the conversation online and contacted me.  One of her family’s relatives, Lloyd Branson, was a well-known and respected Knoxville artist. Mr. Branson created a watercolor painting of the Blows Ferry area, which is now the property of the East TN Historical Society.  Sally asked me if she could help our homeowner’s association by offering prints of this wonderful watercolor as a fundraiser for LHHA projects.  We said, “Yes and Thank You!”.

The image that you see with this post is a copy of the painting.  You may order a  10 ” x 22″ copy of the print for $50.  All proceeds will go to the LHHA project fund and will be used to beautify the neighborhood.

If you would like a copy of this high quality print, please contact the LHHA board via Tim McLaughlin.  He will place your order and you can receive your copy in about 10 days to 2 weeks.

Call 865-599-7251 or email your order to Tim McLaughlin at [email protected], who is managing the project for the board.  You can pay for when the prints arrive with cash or check (payable to LHHA).

To learn more about this prolific painter and the effect his work had on East Tennessee and other artists, visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Branson  

A book of his work is available at www.bransonart.org.

Alcoa Hwy TriFold FINALI wanted to update anyone who was not at the LHHA meeting last night about the status of the Alcoa Landscape Project.  The steering committee is now named the Alcoa Hwy Beautification Council.  We are ready to print a promotional brochure (see image) about the project that will raise public awareness.  It folds into 3 parts.  We are seeking businesses, associations, and clubs who believe in the project to add their names to the list of project sponsors.  If you have a group in mind, please send me those names quickly so I can add to our brochure – the more the merrier!  We have scheduled a meeting with mayors and transportation officials on Nov. 28 where we will present the project and its required funding.  If you have connections that can help us raise public awareness, now is the time to make those introductions.  58,000 vehicles will experience this portion of Alcoa Hwy every day, so our efforts go way beyond Lakemoor Hills.  Please share this information and let’s get the Alcoa Hwy Landscape project to become a reality in 2020.

The LHHA will be submitting the updated membership listing to Waste Connections so they can update their discounted fees listing.  If you have not renewed your LHHA dues for 2018-19, your name is no longer on our Active Member list.  When we transfer this list to Waste Connections, those not shown as active members will no longer receive the waste removal fee discount.  This listing will not be updated until the following quarter with Waste Connections.  If you have neglected to renew your membership, please do so by sending your $25 check to Bill Stoess at 4000 Maloney Rd., renew online in our website or bring your check Tuesday night to the LHHA meeting at Lake Hills Church at 7 PM.
