Lakewood Civic

It is with deep sadness that the Lakewood Civic Association (LCA) mourns the passing of our long term Board member and friend D. Spencer Carnes. Spencer had a long and distinguished record as a community volunteer. As a LCA Board member and professional engineer, Spencer provided pro-bono services to projects in Lakewood, including analysis to show our new Lakewood entrance sign met the City’s wind load requirements and permitting calculations for the sign and fence at the Boat Ramp. Spencer’s company, Carnes Engineering, also recently donated Lercy’s gift certificates for the first 50 people who joined the LCA.

Spencer and his wife Joy took great pride in living in Lakewood. They have previously won the ‘Light Up Lakewood’ award for their beautiful holiday decorations and ‘Yard of the Month’ for their immaculate landscaping.

We were honored to work with Spencer and will miss him greatly.

The Lakewood Civic Association in conjunction with the Lakewood Pool will be holding a Summer Kick-Off Party on May 28th. It will be a FREE fun day to meet your neighbors, with swimming (noon – 8 pm) and games for children and adults (1 pm – 4 pm). Volunteers are welcome and needed to assist with the activities. Please private message us if you can help.

The Lakewood Pool (located at 233 Greenbriar Street) has plenty of parking, tables, and chairs with shaded areas. The children’s pool and the large pool have been cleaned and are ready for your enjoyment.

We hope you and your family can attend.

Get those family parties scheduled now!!!

With the rampant inflation affecting us all, we have decided to go against our financial instincts and are NOT raising our rates or party fees. Please spread the word on the best deal in town! We open on Memorial Weekend. May 28th – 30th. Saturday is free swim and free pizza will be provided for lunch.

Please help us recognize Gary Beltz as the latest recipient of the Lakewood Good Neighbor award. Gary’s welding skills are well known by many and he has used his talents to help make improvements at the Boat Club. He has also helped out with a neighbor’s plumbing problems and is always looking for ways to improve our neighborhood. We thank Gary for being such a good Lakewood neighbor.

The street sign topper that received the most votes for the major roads into our subdivision was the blue sign with houses, seagulls and waves. However some people were concerned that the houses looked like they had snow on the roofs with snow drifts in front. We went back to the City to see if the colors of the sign could be inverted or if the graphic color could be inverted inside an oval. While the City’s contract with the sign manufacturer does not include having a white sign with blue lettering, they are able to make blue houses and waves inside a white circle. So please vote for your preferred Street Sign Topper.
