Please join us in recognizing Duane McLendon as the latest recipient of the Lakewood Good Neighbor award. Duane is always willing to help anyone in time of need. With the May derecho storm, Duane cleared a tree that had fallen across the roadway to make it passable. He helped the neighbors clean their yards, cut up limbs and hauled them to the road for pickup. During Hurricane Beryl he had two extra generators that he let the neighbors borrow to use for the six day power outage. He refueled the generators during the day to keep them running while the neighbors were at work as well as changing the oil to keep the generators running smoothly. Duane mows yards for people when they don’t have the time or days off to do it. If anyone has an issue with anything he’s the first one there to help! We thank Duane for being such a nice helpful neighbor!

If you would like to recognize someone in Lakewood for the Good Neighbor Award, please visit http://www.lakewoodcivic.org/?page_id=2404   This distinction is awarded on a quarterly basis and recognized with a yard sign and gift card.

The Lakewood Civic Association is sponsoring a special performance of Baytown Little Theater’s “Queen of Bingo” on September 26^th for LCA members.

In the tradition of the hilarious Harvey Korman and Tim Conway sketches from the old Carol Burnett Show, comes the stage comedy The Queen of Bingo! ‘Sis’ and ‘Babe,’ two sisters on the other side of 50, want to add a little fun and excitement to their lives…but where to find it? BINGO!

Jeanne Michels and Phyllis Murphy’s The Queen of Bingo explores the worlds of Bingo, family ties, diet crazes, widowhood, hot flashes and winning! The audience joins in the fun during the “Middle Bird Special” – a real Bingo game where some lucky audience member will win a Special Gift! There will also be a Cake Walk ($5) during intermission. Theatregoers young and old will howl with laughter as two zany gals, light up the stage in the comedy hit The Queen of Bingo!

The show starts at 8 pm and there will be light refreshments available starting at 7 pm. Space is limited to 50 people for this free event.

If you would like to attend please respond to this email with your name, if you want 1 or 2 tickets and your phone number. You will receive confirmation if you will have a seat for this performance or will be placed on a waiting list.
