Tonight's Meeting

What a great meeting tonight! So good to see so many neighbors in attendance to hear the presentation from the St. Johns River Water Management District on Waterwise Landscaping. Those books on landscaping she gave us will really help us figure out how to "put the right plants in the right place."

The SHADCO meeting will be on Thursday evening January 27th at Ortega United Methodist Church and there will be a presentation on Crime and Older Adults. Fo more information e-mail jsozone4@jaxsheriff.org or call 573-3165.

Our quarterly cleanup of our "mile" at the half bridge by the railroad tracks will be this Saturday morning at 9. The more help we have, the faster we'll get it done!

A Good Time Was Had...

... we had a great time despite the frightful weather conditions at our Holiday Party. You can see more pictures on our facebook page.

Luminaria!

Stop by today (Saturday) and buy your luminary kits. We're selling them up by the arches on Bayview from 10 am until 2 pm. $5 for 6 bag/sand/candle kits. Then join us tomorrow night from 6 to 9 for the party!

Get 'em while they're ...

... well, not hot, because the candles aren't lit yet. But our Lake Shore elves are busy assembling luminary kits for next week's celebration. The kits are $5 each and we take cash or checks. They'll be on sale TODAY (Saturday) until 2 pm up on Bayview near the arches. If you can't stop by today, we'll have them on sale next Saturday and Sunday also but the supply is limited so don't wait too long!

Calling for Volunteers!

Our Lights of Lake Shore party is a community event and it's going to take some help from the community to make it the best one ever. We can use volunteers for everything from assembling, selling and delivering luminary kits, decorating the medians, setting up before and cleaning up after the event. E-mail us at website@lapsjax.org if you can lend a hand. And we look forward to seeing everybody there on Sunday the 12th between 6 and 9 p.m. A good time is sure to be had by all!

November Meeting Tonight!

Don't forget tonight's general LAPS meeting. 6:30 p.m. at the Lakeshore Woman's Club. We still need some volunteers to help with our Luminaria Celebration on December 12th and signup sheets will be available at the meeting. See you there!
