Lighting Committee Volunteers Needed

The Lakewood Grove HOA is investigating options for adding security and/or decorative lighting around the lake and park areas. Our primary consideration is security, however, we may like to add some decorative aspects at the same time to add value to the community. This could include lampposts, up-lighting of trees, path lighting, lighting of the island, etc. Other considerations will have to include available electrical power and capacity to accommodate the additional lighting. We feel this is a great opportunity to not only improve security at the lake and parking areas, but also add value to the community. With that said, we are asking for volunteers who would be willing to work together as a committee to investigate lighting options and costs and then make recommendations the HOA Board. We would greatly appreciate your input and assistance to come up with a solution that we can all benefit from. If you are interested in participating on the committee please respond by Wednesday, January 9, 2007. We are hoping that the committee can begin to meet sometime in January and have a recommendation to the Board by April 1, 2008. If interested please contact Terrie Brown at SCS Management at (281) 463-1777.

Santa Ride a Success! Thank you to Greg Crawford of Maycrest Court for giving his time to be our Santa. He did a wonderful job. Thank you also to Cypress Creek Volunteer Fire Department for providing the transportation for Santa and a big thanks to our event coordinator Henry Silva for coordinating this special event for us.
