*****LCC Annual Meeting*****
Here we go! Supposed to start raining this evening and forecast to continue through Wednesday. Do you believe it snowed a little last week? Supposed to get up to low 70's tomorrow and then the temperature will taper off to the 50's during the day and low 40's at night. Start a warming trend Wednesday. Here's a link to my weather station for current conditions.
*****LCC Annual Meeting*****
The annual meeting of the Lakeway Civic Corporation was held last night at the Lakeway Activity Center. First a little history. The LCC was set up in the 1960's to enhance the lives of Lakeway citizens. The LCC Board manages a fund that started with a $200 contribution from the sale of each lot in the original Lakeway area. That fund is currently around $1.5M. The LCC Board distributes earnings from this fund to qualified projects in Lakeway that included bout $48K last year. Projects include park projects, swim center projects, Lakeway Activity Center projects, the community library and other enhancements and improvements in the city.
This is in combination with the Lakeway Community Foundation (LCF) that is charged with managing a fund that was donated by Jack and Myrtle Hamilton to maintain the greenbelt they generously donated to Lakeway - Hamilton Greenbelt. That fund provided about $14K last year.
The LCC also recognizes citizens for their contributions over the years by awarding "Meritorious Service Awards" and "Outstanding Citizen of the Year Awards".
This year’s recipients included:
Ron Massa - Meritorious Service Award
Joan Astorino - Meritorious
Service Award
Major General Rod Kelly - Meritorious Service Award
Paula Crawley- Meritorious Service Award
David Taylor - Outstanding Citizen of the Year Award.
The individual accomplishments of these recipients is far too long to list individually, but they have all worked hard to give back to the community, amazing folks!
