There will be a meeting this Monday, January 23rd at the LakeShore Woman's Club at 6:30. This is a critical time for this group as we determine if there is enough interest to keep LAPS going. We are hoping for a fresh, new start so if you believe LAPS adds value to this community please come with your ideas and support.

LAPS will be taking a hiatus for the rest of this year. We will meet again on the 4th Monday in January at the LakeShore Woman's Club. At that time there will be nominations for new board members. We ask that everyone give some thought over the next few months about what you would like this organization to be for our community and then come together in January to share thoughts and ideas. Blessings to all.

We had planned to have a covered dish dinner and meeting this Monday, October 24th to discuss and hopefully nominate new board members. Norma, the treasurer nor I are able to attend Monday and due to my job and ongoing training I will be unavailable on Mondays for the next six months. Therefore I think it is best that a new secretary be elected as well. I am willing to keep up the website if the information gets forwarded to me but will be happy to turn it over as well if someone wants to do it.

The most immediate thing is to have someone volunteer to get the keys to open up the building and be responsible for making sure everything is clean and locked up afterward. Please let me know if anyone can step up for that. If not, I think it will have to be put off until November when Norma can be there. Blessings to all, Betsy

Twelve people braved the rain and came out to the LAPS meeting Monday night. Everyone in attendance agreed that we should try to keep this organization going in some form. It was decided that we will hold a pot luck dinner for our meeting in October and hold nominations then for the two open board positions (President and VP). We hope to advertise this heavily to encourage as much participation as possible, via the website, blog, e-mail, posters, signs and hopefully a banner or two.
We also talked about the things we thought were important to do or keep doing at minimum. They included:
• The Spring Yard Sale
• Have some kind of program or speaker for the meetings (anyone feel called to be program chairperson?)
• Go back to renewing of all memberships in January (we can work something out for folks who renewed late in the year if necessary)
• Organize social opportunities like cookouts, etc. so we can get to know each other better
We will be open to more suggestions at future meetings and everything will be considered if we get overall agreement and willingness to volunteer from the membership.
We also want to give kudos and high praise for whoever a) weeded the flowerbed up at the arches and b) tended to the trees at the ballpark. Thanks to anonymous worker bees!
Please help out by telling your neighbors about the pot luck on Monday, October 24th, 6:30pm at the LakeShore Woman’s Club and make sure you come yourself and nominate someone you love to serve on the LAPS board. Of course, you can always volunteer yourself !!

There will be a LAPS MEETING on Monday, September 26th. We will be discussing the future and direction of this organization. We NEED your ideas, input and inspiration if this is to be a viable group. If you would like to keep this group going please be sure to be in attendance. We will not be rehashing where we have been in the past but rather where we want to go and what we want to be now and into the future. We sure hope you’ll be there.
