Our Communications team has developed the ability for you to pay your LHHA dues online now through our website.  It is similar to the renewal process that you go through when you renew your auto license plate.

Go to www.lakemoor.org and log in with your user name and password.  Then select the tab across the top of the screen that says LHHA (to the left of RESOURCES).  That is a pull down menu.  Select HOA MEMBER DUES & RENEWAL at the bottom of the list.  There is information about the process, the address if you would just like to mail in your $25 check, or the ability to charge the renewal fee to a credit card.  (a small processing fee of $1.06 will be added).  Once your submit the information, you will immediately receive a receipt by email.

We hope this makes renewing your dues convenient and easy.

Did you know that Lakemoor Hills has an art group which meets every Monday from 4:00 – 6:00 PM at the Lake Hills Presbyterian Church.   Our founder, Kenneth Pace, recently died but we all want to continue the group in his honor.   And you are invited!  It is a casual group open to anyone who would like to create art or work on crafts during the time.   Everyone works in their particular technique including watercolor, drawing, acrylics, pottery and stained glass.   Folks have also worked on bead jewelry, needlepoint and crocheting.  Whatever is your interest is welcome.   So pick up those projects that have been on hold and come on down to the church tomorrow afternoon.   You will find a welcoming group and a creative force.

Many people in our neighborhood have complained of difficulty seeing the highway at night in order to safely turn out of our neighborhood onto Alcoa Highway from Montlake, due to the fact that there has been no street light at that intersection since construction began. Over a number of months we have made multiple contacts with both TDOT and Knoxville City traffic engineering, with each of these entities referring us back to the other. It appears that unless TDOT hears from enough individuals who have either had or witnessed accidents/near-misses at that intersection to make clear to them their responsibility for correcting this safety hazard (which they created), the problem–and the accidents– will continue until late 2019, when consruction is due to be completed.

Therefore, I strongly urge you to contact TDOT officials to apprise them of your concerns. Below is contact information for Tracie Widner, TDOT Operations District Supervisor, and Keisha Gregory, TDOT Administration Services Assistant.

There’s no guarantee that this approach will be effective, but there is a chance that TDOT will respond when, due to the number of complaints received, they have a more complete picture of our concerns.

You recently received a bill for $25 to renew your homeowner’s dues.  About half of you have renewed to date.  We will be submitting the updated list to Waste Connections in the next couple of weeks, at which time the rate that you pay for garbage pickup may be impacted.

LHHA members receive approximately a 50% discount on this service.  Well over the cost of the membership dues.  So find that envelope and send your check in today to Tom Ingram, Treasurer at 2020 W. Velmetta Cr.  Thank you for supporting our organization.

On Sunday, September 24, from 10 AM to 3 PM at 3929 Maloney Road children from Mount Olive Elementary and South Doyle Middle School will have coupon books for sale. $ 9 of every $10 paid goes directly to benefit the schools.  But even better, Linnette Montalbo-Tumpson is enhancing your return with a free bottle of water and snack/ hotdog for every purchase.  Her children are committed to selling 100 coupon books.  Let’s help the kids  make their goal.

If you are purchasing libations for your game day weekend, consider Ashe’s Wine and Spirits.  They are donating wines for our neighborhood Sip and Snoop.  Sip and Snoop gives you the chance to sip a variety of wines while snooping six very different homes here in your neighborhood.  Make your reservations for the  October 12 event by e-mailing Linda Haynes at [email protected]
