Link to the meeting minutes of the Lakewood Civic association annual meeting: May 14, 2019 Minutes There were about 50 people in attendance.

The first annual Summer Kick Off Party co-sponsored by the LCA and the Lakewood Pool was a huge success. Sparkling water, perfect weather, games, prizes and outstanding food by Burton Backyard Barbeque – what an awesome day! Much thanks to the volunteers that made this happen – Renita Price, Joy Huntington, Sheila McClellan, Tammy Calaway, Fran and Kevin Parent, James Springer, Joanne Springer, Ken Martin and Randee King.

The Lakewood Civic Association in conjunction with the Lakewood Pool will be holding a Summer Kick Off Party on May 25th from 12 – 4 pm. It will be a FREE fun day to meet your neighbors, with swimming and other activities like lawn twister, ring toss, giant jenga, volleyball and more. You might even win a prize. Burton Backyard Barbeque will be selling BBQ plates, superfries, burgers and other delicious food.

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

If anyone is interested in setting up a booth to sell items or can assist with activities during the party, please reply or private message us. We hope you and your family can attend.

The LCA board will not meet in May because there is a LCA annual meeting the following week on May 14, 2019 @ 7PM at Lakewood Church of Christ.

In the weeks following the annual meeting, a board meeting will be scheduled around the availability of the members of the new board to ensure all are present to elect officers. At that meeting the future routine board meetings will then be set and published shortly afterwards.

The Lakewood Civic Association in conjunction with the Lakewood Pool will be sponsoring a Summer Kickoff Party on May 25th. It will be a fun day to meet your neighbors, with free swimming and other activities. If you are interested in helping plan this event please comment or send me a Private Message. I’ll set up a meeting for the volunteers. Thank you.

This is the first of several events planned in order to bring a greater sense of “community” to our neighborhood. If you wish to participate please notify Rebecca Spann at: catsmeow47@hotmail.com , and let her know if you would like your address listed on the flyers that will be available at street entrances. Signs as being made for each entrance into Lakewood. We will also post the information on various Facebook sites. If you have a Facebook account you may wish to post it there. There is no cost to participate as the Lakewood Civic Association will pay for the City permit. These events are usually quite successful and we’re sure ours will be too. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Sea Scout Nate Gifford installed a new sign for the Lakewood Boat Club launch as a part of his Eagle Scout project. Nate took the LCA plans and organized the construction of the sign using LCA funds. Nate and his fellow crew members of Sea Scout Ship 208 did a great job with the new sign. We thank Nate for his service and wish him success on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.

Per the Lakewood Civic Association (LCA) bylaws, a nominating committee was assigned by the LCA president. As it has been done in the past, the nominating committee this year was comprised of several LCA board members that were not running for re-election to the board. The available board members for the nominating committee were Wayne Hanson, Frank McKay, and Randy Dickey. Multiple potential candidates were under consideration from both residents that submitted their own names and residents that were asked to run for the board. Eight candidates have been selected for the four available positions per the bylaws.

The eight candidates will be on the ballot in the newsletter planned to be mailed out mid-April. The votes of the paid members who return ballots will be counted a couple of days before the annual meeting on May 14, 2019. The new board members with the largest number of votes will be announced at the annual meeting.
