Please use our Post Office on Marshall
Foch rather than dropping your mail off at other
Post Offices
Our Post Office is graded for the amount of mail
that goes through it. It is
important
to keep our Lakeview postal volume high so that
our Post Office will not even be considered as
the U.S. Postal Service seeks to cut spending. There
are no plans to close our Lakeview Post Office
at this point! We can all do our
part to stack the deck in our favor to help in
whatever way we can to keep it continuously
running.
Adopt-a-Block Program Needs You! * The
LCIA's Greens Space Committee needs volunteers
for the Adopt-a-Block program. As
a volunteer you would focus primarily on 
litter
pick-up and regular upkeep of our green spaces
near your residence or business. Russ
Barranco, who heads up the Adopt-a-Block
Committee said,
"In my opinion, driving into a neighborhood with
no litter and neatly trimmed trees and shrubs
says more than anything else that this is a
neighborhood of people who care. In
Lakeview, we have chosen to fill our neutral
grounds with trees, primarily with the help of
volunteers. We
have planted hundreds of crepe myrtle trees
because they are not only pretty, but are well
suited to our climate.
The only problem is that they require frequent
pruning to eliminate the sucker shoots that grow
out of the bottoms and other light pruning to
keep their canopies in shape. Connie
Uddo has
done an excellent job in coordinating primarily
student volunteers to perform most of this work,
but weeks or months may pass between prunings,
sometimes the leaving the trees looking shabby
...With Lakeview neighbors' help, we can keep
our trees looking beautiful all year round"

Congratulations to Peter J. Compagno
Award Winners Mary Anne Colwart, Charles
Ciaccio,
and
Mark Uddo! As
LCIA President Todd Wallace said, "Your
contributions to our community and to its
recovery are inspirations to so many of us and
have served to inspire others to answer the call
to volunteer our time and energy."
