Hummingbirds Have Returned
Hummingbirds have been spotted on Lakemoor Dr. Has anyone else seen any yet? Looks like it’s time to fill up those feeders.
DIG IN; BUY PLANTS; BEAUTIFY YOUR YARD AND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
For decades, the Lakemoor Hills Garden Club has delighted in welcoming you to your neighborhood with beautiful flowers at Alcoa Highway and Montlake Road. Now with the welcome improvements to Alcoa Highway, we need to dig it.
You can dig your own Stella d oro day lilies , Dutch Master (King Alfred improved) daffodils, and Tahiti daffodils for $5/dozen. This is an honor dig. Each clump of day lilies will contain about 30 plants and each daffodil clump about 20. Count individual plants or bulbs or estimate your clumps. Please be generous, because we are. The lilies are at least $3/each retail and the daffodils $2/each retail. Dig, count your plants, be generous and mail or drop off your check to Lakemoor Hills Garden Club to Mary Cartwright, 4000 Maloney Road. If you want to be over-the-top generous, dig, don’t count and make a huge donation to Lakemoor Hills Resource Council for the Bluff Point improvements. Send or mail your check to the same place.
If you wish to wait and have me dig your plants, I’ll be happy to do so for $10/dozen beginning May 1. I’ll post another notice then.
Thanks for making your neighborhood a credit to us all.
Mary
Looking for a person who can weed our woods
We are looking for someone who could spray/weed 6 acres of wooded property that we own. We are not looking to do landscaping, but instead keeping the woods in their natural state and keeping them clear of certain plants, such as poison ivy, English ivy, raspberry-like bushes, multi-flora rose, kudzu, honeysuckle, and similar invasive plants. We would appreciate it if any one could recommend a reliable person or company that could periodically do this job for us.
lost dog?We found a black lab walking in the middle of Maloney Rd in front of our house–no ID. We have him im our dog yard for safekeeping. Please call us at 696-0677 if you’re looking for him.

From the Beautification Committee
Today is the opening day for the Dogwood Trail and the neighborhood looks beautiful! “Hat’s Off” to all of you for helping Mother Nature look her best with weeding, mulching, feeding, trimming, raking and planting. Everyone has done an outstanding job placing the welcome mat out for visitors and each other.
The Beautification Committee would like to recognize the three residences who have been selected for this year’s Appreciation for Natural Beauty. A sign designating this selection has been placed in their front yard and will remain for two weeks. They are:
Phyllis Walker and Mark Gately. 3512 Bluff Point
Fred and Fran Thomforde. 3616 Circle Lake
Charlie and Geri Mulligan. 3617 Blow Drive
Many thanks to these individuals!
Lakemoor Hills is a beautiful place to be in the Spring! Let’s enjoy it and each other!

Homeowners Meeting April 12 – 7PM
The March Homeowner’s Meeting was postponed and is rescheduled for Tuesday, April 12 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church. This month’s guest speaker is Debbie Ailey from KUB. The Flint, Michigan water issues have naturally raised concerns for our own safety here in East Tennessee and Ms. Ailey will be addressing these concerns.
Announcements will include updates from the Lakemoor Hills Helpers, our emergency response group; the annual neighborhood picnic (May 21), which includes a car show and art exhibit; Alcoa Hwy update; raccoon safety; kudzu and other issues of interest. Dogwood mailbox bows will be available for $5.
There will be no mailbox flyers announcing this meeting, so if you have a neighbor who does not check the LHHA email, please encourage them to come.
Kudzu Task Force Update and Review
The Kudzu Task Force is currently in a discovery mode to determine what we can do to curtail the invasion of Kudzu in our peninsula.
The next step is a representative from V&V Land Management & Resource Recovery LLC will be coming out to review the Kudzu issue within Lakemoor Hills. Anyone interested in attending is welcome. Our task force will be meeting at the church parking lot (at the Montlake entrance) Monday April 11, 2016 at 2:00pm. This location will allow us to park safely and walk down Montlake to review some of the bad areas. We may also travel to other areas.
V&V has performed landscape clearing services to a resident in our community along with proposing Kudzu removal at another resident.
If you have any questions or want to join the Kudzu Task Force please contact Randy Kerns 937-694-5626 [email protected]
Thank you
