We're Award Winning!

Here's an exciting message from our president, Carla:

Hello Neighbors,
I received a nice bit of good news recognizing all of your efforts.  Joel McEachin of the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission emailed me the following:
"I am pleased to inform you that the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission will be presenting the "Great Save Award" to the Lake Shore Area Preservation Society for your commitment and accomplishments in stabilizing and restoring the Lake Shore subdivision gates.  The award will be presented as part of the Commission's Annual Preservation Award Program scheduled for Thursday, May 6th."
You should all take pride in this acknowledgement.  It is especially appropriate to receive this award on this date since the original Open House/Dedication of the neighborhood was on Mother's Day weekend, May 10th, 1925.  Almost 85 years ago to the date!
Thanks to all of you for your commitment and involvement.
Carla

What wonderful news! We'll post more details as we get them.
