Hi Lake Lackawanna Neighbors,

Another year has passed, and the community continues to grow positively.  We continue to get more financially healthy, so thank you for doing your part by joining the lake and encouraging our neighbors to join.  The healthier our budget, the better our chance of keeping our community flourishing.  A healthy balance sheet is not the only thing that keeps the community flourishing.  All the volunteer hours that go into keeping Lake Lackawanna a beautiful place to live are a testament to our community pride.  And I thank everyone who takes the time to contribute in one way or another.

What to expect in 2023.  The clubhouse is on its way to being reopened.  There was and is still much work that needs to be done to bring the clubhouse up to par, but in the past six months, the clubhouse has had new insulation installed, most of the roof has been replaced (the remainder will be completed soon), and a new HVAC system has been installed.  Over the course of 2023, we will be looking for volunteers to help complete the rest of the work that needs to be done so we can get our inspections and officially reopen the clubhouse for the community to utilize and enjoy.  Communication will be shared throughout the year, and if you have a specific skill set that would be beneficial to help with the interior of this project, please reach out.  The more experienced hands we have, the better.

The lake.  We have had a mild winter, so we anticipate much extra work to be done this spring and throughout the summer to try and maintain the weeds and floating algae properly.  This is always a constant battle for the group of volunteers who help with this, and they are constantly in communication and collaborating to do what they can to keep the lake clean.  Volunteers are always needed, so feel free to join this group if you can.

Thank you to all who have helped in the past and continue to help make this community awesome.  For any new neighbors, there are always opportunities to get involved.  Keep an eye out for announcements through social media, chat with a neighbor who has lived here for a while, or feel free to give me a call.

I look forward to seeing everyone around the community.  If you need anything, as always, feel free to reach out. Please visit www.lakelackawanna.com for more information about membership and rules and regulations.

Cheers,

Shawn Steffens

Your Community President
