I was contacted by a neighbor today with concerns about two asphalt paving companies that they saw were doing business in our neighborhood.  These two companies are reputed to have bad track records.   We have a listing of recommended contractors and subcontractors that neighbors have positive experiences with, but I do not think any asphalt paving companies are on that list yet.  If you have had a positive experience please share their name and contact information on the LHHA Andy’s list.  If you are doing or contemplating a paving project at your home and want to know the questionable company names, please contact me.  If you do not know how to post to Andy’s list, just send the information to Kathy Proctor and we will get it added to the list for you.  Thank you for looking out for your neighbors!

Well it looks like winter is here yet again, and sometimes winter brings us situations that take our power down in Lakemoor Hills.  Tuesday, April 17 at 7 PM at Lake Hills Church we will have representatives from Lloyd’s Electric, who have provided back up generators to a number of Lake Hills residents, on hand to explain about back up power options.  They will talk about whole house generators, portable generators, neighborhood discounts and financing options.  If your electrical power situation makes you a little nervous, then come to this informative meeting to hear what the experts have to say.  The more of us that are involved, the deeper the discount.  Take advantage of this opportunity tomorrow evening.

Another great offer from the Lakemoor Hills Garden Club – They are selling Caladiums at a fantastic price.  Caladiums are easy to grow in landscape beds as well as containers. They prefer partial shade and will grow best where protected from harsh sunlight and wind.  All proceeds go to the further beautification of our neighborhood.   Please see attached for more details and ordering.  

The judges are waiting for Spring to make an appearance before they tour our neighbor.  They expect to be judging sometime late next week.  As usual, signs will be placed in the winners yards and we will announce the winners.   –  Be sure to drive our neighborhood and enjoy the beauty of where we live.

WOW!!  You guys are great!  We had 33 volunteers to help with Neighborhood Cleanup Day over the two-day weekend.  Some brave souls tackled the tasks on Saturday despite the ugly weather and the rest of you showed up on Sunday, or even completed your commitment before the weekend arrived.  Thank you so much!

Now some of you must have really loved the gloves, safety vests and pickers that Keep Knoxville Beautiful LOANED to us.  But if you are finished with them, please stuff them in my mailbox/ paper box or come up the hill and leave on my front porch (2429 Lakemoor.).  I hope to return them to KKB on Tuesday.

If anyone still needs a pink & green bow for their mailbox, please see me or Ann Graf.  They are $5.  They have proven to hold up well in the rain so far!

Thank you again and now we are ready to put on the show for the Dogwood Arts Festival.  Trails open March 31.

A Sip & Snoop gift card is the perfect Easter treat for a neighbor who is a bit too old for a bunny basket and a bit too young for an orchid corsage. We’re thrilled to give you a chance to take a water taxi to see the Zitzman house (pictured), the Farr house, and the Worden house on Sunday afternoon, October 7, from two until five. Two more houses you can visit only by land will be announced soon.

To purchase a Sip & Snoop gift card, e-mail: [email protected], with recipient name address, phone number, and e-mail address. Your check for $40 per card goes to 4000 Maloney Road, 37920. Happy Easter.

A couple neighbors asked me where to find Hollyhocks like those in front of the serpentine wall at Westwood Manor on Kingston Pike. Did some research and was able to locate them. I will be picking some up at a nursery next week.  If you would like some let me know soon.  They will be $10.00 for a gallon container.  Profits (if any) will go to the Sip & Snoop project.  Email [email protected] and tell me how many you want.  No need to pay until I deliver them to you.

Volunteers

It currently looks like we might be having significant amounts of rain on Saturday.  IF it is RAINING/ SNOWING at 8:45 AM on Saturday, March 24 then we will postpone the Neighborhood Cleanup until Sunday, March 25 at 2 PM.   We will still meet in the church parking lot at 2 PM on Sunday, pick up your supplies (garbage bags, gloves, pickers & safety vests) and get our assignments.  We will have Pink & Green Mailbox Bows for sale ($5) available also.  All funds go towards beautification of our neighborhood.

See you Saturday or Sunday!
