Lakewood Civic

Hello Neighbors! We hope everyone is staying safe and well. Due to the CDC’s recommended guidelines on the coronavirus we will be postponing the Lakewood Community Garage Sale until further notice. Thank you for your interest.

The 2020 Neighborhood Watch Meetings will be held:

• March 26th, 2020
• Annual Lakewood Civic Association Meeting, May 21st, 2020
• June 25th, 2020
• October 6th, 2020

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! It’s time to gather all your treasures for another LCA sponsored Lakewood Community Garage Sale which will be held Saturday, April 18th from 8 am – 2 pm. At the end of March Tammy Calaway will collect names and locations of people who plan to sell items and are interested in having a yard sign for the sale. Our subdivision’s previous garage sales have been a huge success and we expect many residents will be participating in this sale too.

There was a significant increase in both home and vehicle burglaries around the holidays. Let’s start off 2020 with improved security by making sure to lock the doors of your home and your vehicles and setting your home alarm system if you have one. Most of our crime issues can be cured by securing your home and cars.

If you see something suspicious call the Police Dept. (281) 422-8371 and report what you see.  Provide as many details as you can, i.e., color, make and model of a vehicle.  Give physical details of the individual in question, hair color, what they are wearing, etc.  These observations will help the officer replying to the call. 

It’s time again to recruit volunteers for the Lakewood Civic Association Board of Directors. The Lakewood Civic Association (LCA) began in the 1940s to maintain Lakewood as a wonderful place to live. The LCA is a voluntary organization comprised of Lakewood residents, both homeowners and tenants, with 8 board members. Each year four Board positions come up for election. You may ask, “What is it like to be part of the Board of Directors?” Although the purpose of the LCA is to solve community problems of common interest to the residents and property owners of the Lakewood subdivision, it is so much more than just enforcing deed restrictions. Some activities this past year include sponsoring community garage sales, hosting a Summer Kickoff party at the Lakewood Pool, upgrading security and fencing at the Lakewood Boat Ramp, and providing financial assistance to the Lakewood Pool, upkeep of the Boat Ramp and maintenance of the Lakewood Sign. Many people volunteer with LCA activities and the more volunteers the LCA has, the more that can be done.

The LCA Board typically meets once a month so it’s a small investment of time with a potential for big community impact. If you are interested in running for the LCA Board please send in your name, address and phone number by using the ‘Contacts’ tab on this site. You can also turn in a request to run for the LCA Board through the LCA Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/LakewoodCivicAssociationBaytownTX/) or PM Randee King through the LCA NextDoor Lakewood site (https://nextdoor.com/neighborhood/lakewoodbaytown–baytown–tx/). Nominations will be open until February 29^th.

Thanks!

The Lakewood Boat Ramp has an improved look and upgraded security with a new gate and fencing. Boat Club members can still access the area using their current keys.

Please note that there has been an increase in both home and vehicle burglaries. Make sure your vehicles are locked and set your home alarm system if you have one. In at least one instance the thieves covered the surveillance cameras and stole the security system DVR. If possible it’s good practice to hide the DVR if it is not continually backed up to cloud recording.

A BIG Thank You to everyone who helped with the BJS Color Run this morning and also to those who came out to cheer for the runners and walkers. It was a wonderful fundraiser for BJS Girls Athletics. Here’s a few pictures from this fun event.

Thanks to everyone who hosted a garage sale or came out looking for some fantastic deals. It was a great success. Special thanks to Tammy Calaway for coordinating this event, Fran Parent for making those amazing Garage Sale signs and Gay Lynn Milliorn for advertising it.
