Put it on your calendar....

The next Lakemont Adult Social will be October 1st beginning at 7:30 at the top cul de sac.  We're mixing things up a little this year and the homeowners association will provide the finger foods leaving you to an afternoon of relaxation before coming our way for a little friendly neighborhood gathering. Really, this is just another way your homeowners association dollars are working for you! ; )

As for you, you have two jobs:
#1  RSVP to Maura, Kathleen or me.
#2 Bring your own beverage.

It's really that simple.

See you on the first!

Love scaring the bjeezums out of unsuspecting children?

Well listen up, this post is for you!  Anyone interested in participating in the 2011 Halloween-a-palooza, come on down to the Jacquins' Sunday afternoon, September 18th at 3:00 and let's talk scary!  Those of you that were involved last year did a great job making for a very frightful evening and with some neighborhood wide collaboration, we don't doubt this year will be even better!

Feel free to call me at 678-242-8900 if you have any questions.  We look forward to seeing you and planning another great afternoon and evening of family fun!

Roswell Lacrosse Team Pinestraw Fundraiser!

Here's a great way to do something good for your yard and the Roswell lacrosse team!  They are selling pinestraw as a fundraiser this year until November 4th. 

The minimum sale is 20 bales, which starts at $87.00, and if you would like, the company they partnered with, TeamWorks, will come install the pinestraw for you for an added fee. The price includes sales tax and delivery- (delivered only) $4.35/bale or (delivered and installed) $5.35/bale. 

If you have any questions about prices or ordering, feel free to ask Christina Archer. Please help out their team this year and let her know if you want to buy some pinestraw! 

Thanks so much!

A special thanks to the Rehkopf's!

We wanted to give a big shout out to our very own Dede Rehkopf, former MPE parent and current MPE grandparent!  She has been very busy working in MPE's courtyard. She and her husband, Tom, generously donated a roof and much needed repairs for the gazebo. Dede was a PTA VP 25 years ago and was instrumental in supervising an Eagle Scout project to build the gazebo and brick walk. She has always wanted to install a roof and had that completed this summer. Dede's granddaughter, Julia, is in 1st grade and her little brother Paul (who are our neighbors as well!) is a future Mustang. In honor of Dede and her family MPE will be naming the gazebo the P & J Pavilion. MPE students will continue to enjoy this outdoor classroom area for many more years!

So when you see Dede and Tom, give them a pat on the back and a big thanks!!

Getting ready for the 4th!

It's that time, Lakemont, so get out your red, white and blue and get ready for some patriotic fun!  You all have gotten a flyer in your mailbox but to reiterate, we're sending the info via "gaggle" as well.

Also anyone interested in buying mini flags to line their curbside can buy 10 for $10 through Kathleen Foit.  She will need these orders by Thursday to get them in time for the 4th.  Proceeds from these sales as well as any additional donations will be given to the Roswell Fire Department who has always been so good to us over the years in donating their time and energy to our celebration!

10-10:30 Parade!

11:15 Fire Truck Fun

12:15'ish Picnic and Talent Show

It's official, the Rapps will be hosting two weddings!

It's another pretty girl for the Rapp household!  This raven haired beauty arrived Thursday, June 23 weighing in at 7lbs 1oz and 21inches long!  Her name?  Britton Eileen of course!

Mom and dad couldn't be prouder, big brother, Gregory, is thoughtfully optimistic about another sister and big sister, Natalie, is just thrilled mom would go through all this for the best baby doll EVER!

Welcome, Britton!  Don't get too big, too fast!

Remember Fear Factor?

Well, I heard it's coming back.  That's not what this post is about, however.  My own personal fear factor would be attending the below event.  Seriously.

I know all of you don't feel about snakes the way I do so with that in mind I'm passing along the following.  Forgive me if I don't ask how it went....: )
