Spring things

ENERGIZING INDIANA
     Energizing Indiana Home Energy Assessments can help raise your home's performance, lower energy bills, improve in-home air quality and increase your home's value. Complete an enrollment form and Energizing Indiana will call to schedule your appointment. Your energy advisor will install the following items for you: Energy efficient CFL's, Energy efficient faucet aerators and showerheads, and Water heater pipe insulation. Energizing Indiana programs are funded by utility rates and there are no separate fees to participate.
      Call Judy Church (Lake Shores resident) at 478-6757 for an enrollment form. They will also be available at the April general association meeting. When your assessment is complete, Energizing Indiana will donate $25.00 to First Christian Church, 4800 S Calhoun St, as a nonprofit organization.

SPRING BREAK
     We have been advised by the police department to be aware that during spring break vandalism is usually on the rise. If you notice anything unusual or suspicions please call 911. Also, after the fact please report any vandalism to police. One resident did have a pipe bomb or fire crackers explode in the mail box several weeks ago. This is an example of an incident that needed to be reported to police and it was. So often we are tempted to just say "oh, well" and take care of the damage. You can always call 427-1230 for non-emergencies.

DATES TO REMEMBER
     Spring Garage sales: April 25-26
     General Meeting: April 28 @ 7:00 p.m. Avalon Missionary Church West building.
           If you are in favor of snow removal by the association, please plan to attend as we will be voting on this issue at the meeting.
           Jean Wyss, a master gardener, and the judge for our yard of the month, will speak on Native plants and rain gardens.
           Register for a chance to win a gift certificate to the stand.

LAKE SHORES NIGHT AT PARKVIEW FIELD
     Thursday, June 12  Call president Walt Halley @ 747-0165 to sign up.

Happy Holidays!

Neighbors, Fabian and Agnes Gabrek, donated the large evergreen from their yard to be displayed at Hardin and Shine Law Offices on Broadway. The decorated tree is absolutely beautiful! Be sure to see it during the holiday season. Thank you to the Gabrek's for their generous donation.

Judging of the homes decorated for the holidays will be done this week. Be sure to have your lights on each evening from now until Saturday night. Thanks to everyone for making Lakeshores shine brightly this holiday season. Winners will be announced on the blog soon.

Statement from Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry  


Fort Wayne City Council tonight voted favorably on one of the most important initiatives in the history of the City of Fort Wayne. I want to commend Council members for demonstrating leadership by passing a financial plan for the future that will sustain our community and position us for success.

In a bipartisan manner, we’ve made a commitment to invest in Fort Wayne. We’re moving the City forward with more police officers and firefighters, funding for street and parks improvements without having to borrow money, property tax relief for homeowners, and a small income tax increase to continue with important, necessary services that citizens expect and deserve.

I want to thank our City employees, citizens, businesses, community leaders, and the Fiscal Policy Group for coming together for the betterment of Fort Wayne. Over the past year and a half, we’ve had an open dialogue on how to maintain our viability and sustainability. We’re all making sacrifices that will make a meaningful difference for today and tomorrow.

I’m excited about our future. There’s positive momentum in Fort Wayne. By investing in ourselves, we’re saying we’re committed to a great quality of life, tremendous neighborhoods, new jobs, and business growth. Our time is now.
