Newsletter
March 2013
Greetings Neighbors,
I hope you all are well and looking
forward to hopefully an early spring. I
know I am.
First, I want to let you all
know that Kevin Brown is leaving the Lee’s Crossing Board of Directors after
15+ years of service to our community.
Kevin has been a long time active member in our community, helping to
grow and shape it over the many years he and his family have lived here. I think most of us not know him from his
involvement with the Social Committee, but also from being on the men’s tennis
teams and the Board for so many years.
His contribution to the neighborhood has been positive for us all. Thank you, Kevin, and we will be seeing you
around the neighborhood.
The City public works council
had another working session on Feb25th to further discuss the speed table
ordinance. Walt Walker was able to attend for the Board along with a few
residents. They had another opportunity to talk with the council on the pros
and cons for the tables. No decisions
have been made yet on whether or not the whole neighborhood will get to vote on
the proposed speed tables. We will
continue to send out notices of planned City meetings where the speed table
ordinance is involved.
In a continuing effort to
improve overall communication to the neighborhood, a new sign will be posted at
the front entrance when the newsletter comes out. The sign will have the LC website listed and also
let you know a newsletter can be picked up from the mailbox by the clubhouse
front door. The Board decided in the
February meeting to start posting the meeting minutes on the LC website so
residents can see what topics were discussed.
Meeting minutes will not immediately be posted after each Board meeting
since they must be reviewed and approved by the Board.
I hate to end on a negative subject,
but recent complaints of a few people walking their dogs around the Clubhouse
lawn and playground areas and not cleaning up after their pets are just
appalling. These areas are for all our
residents’ children to enjoy. I hope the
offenders see this and feel ashamed of their activity. There is no reason this should be happening. Please pick up after your pets or don’t walk
them at the Clubhouse.
Please don’t hesitate to
contact me or send a note to LeesCrossing@comcast.net for questions you may have regarding our
neighborhood.
Be healthy and safe and I will see you around the neighborhood.
