MISSING BERTIE!

The mature black & white my granddaughter gave me a week ago escaped from the garage yesterday. I’m frantic as this is a favorite cat. Call Richard
719.1854 with any sightings or information.

From Sally Boyington (on Timberlake):

I found an elderly female yellow lab today, with no tags. She’s too arthritic to have gone far, and she is well fed and (except for being filthy) well tended.

If you know of anyone who has lost this treasured family friend, please call me: 865-309-4785.

Thanks.
Sally

Sally Boyington has one dog found running on Timberlake. It is a yellow retriever. She could not catch the other dog; it is a shepard looking dog that is white with brown spots. Both dogs look like they have been out overnight: wet and dirty. Sally’s phone number is 865-309-4785.  From John Rennie

Hi Neighbors,

We want to thank Niles and Nancy Larson for their generous contribution to our tennis court refurbishment project.  Their donation at the silver level put our total contributions at $19,700!  Thanks again to all of you who have supported this project! What a wonderful neighborhood we live in!

Dear Neighbors,

Unfortunately, when the list of donors for the tennis court refurbishment project was published, the names of two couples were inadvertently left off.  Please accept my sincerest apologies for these oversights!  We want to also acknowledge the generous contributions from Mike Parker and Suzan Bowman and Jim and Linda Worden.  My apologies also to Karen and Harvey White whose surname White was not included.  Once again I am so very sorry for these oversights.

i was asked to post the following message from Carolyn and Don Dougall:

Two days after buying and placing on our property a Hillary for president sign, it was stolen. This has happened every presidential election year beginning in the 1990’s. Our property has been violated as has our right to speak what we believe. I am ashamed of our community, Lake Hills. This is stupid and childish!

Carolyn and Don Dougall

Great news! Our fund-raising campaign for our tennis courts refurbishment project has been a great success! We were able to raise $18,705, so we will not only be able to fund the original improvements, but we will also be able to straighten and paint the chain link fence surrounding the courts. The work will commence in August, and we plan to have a “ribbon-cutting” celebration at 5:00 on August 28. Please plan to join us for this joyous celebration.

The success of this campaign comes down to the support and generosity of so many of you in our community. First of all, we appreciate so much that Lake Hills Presbyterian Church is funding 25% of the total cost of the project. Also the Lakemoor Hills Homeowner’s Association and the Lake Hills Tennis League each donated $1,000 to this endeavor. We also want to thank our 44 individual contributors who donated $16,700 to the project. A list of these contributors is attached and will be posted at our “ribbon-cutting” on August 28 and at our homeowner’s meeting on September 13. Due to church policy, a plaque will not be located at the courts.

A fund-raising campaign of this magnitude took a lot of teamwork, and we can thank Jim de Ropp, Penny Mitchell and Stuart Worden for all the time and effort they put into this successful drive. We also appreciate the help of committee members Flo Curtis, Sue Humble, Cindy McLaughlin, and Kathy Unger. A big thanks also goes to Alex and Pat Shivers who shared their lovely home, Speedwell Manor, for our fund-raising reception. Penny Mitchell did a great job organizing and handling the details of this event.

Our fund-raising campaign would not have gone so smoothly if it had not been for the assistance of the Lakemoor Hills Resource Council. President Charlie Mulligan kept everything on track, Sue Humble made numerous trips to the P. O. Box, and Treasurer Bill Stoess did a masterful job of documenting and acknowledging the tax-deductible contributions with a hand-written note. Arnold Cohen handled all legal issues and Richard Gillespie is project administrator.

In closing, this community project would not be possible without the support and commitment of Lake Hills Church, our homeowner’s association, the tennis league and so many concerned and giving individuals. We can all be very proud that our courts will continue to be a safe and attractive asset for our community. We thank every one of you for making this project a reality.

With much appreciation,

Diane de Ropp

Tennis Court Refurbishment Project Chairperson
