Presidents Pen
Hello Lynnwood, spring has arrived and looks like summer is just around the
corner…
Well we are in full bloom now and I have seen some beautiful yards being set
up for another year, great job to all who take so much pride in their property it truly
helps to make our community stand out as one of Edmonton’s hidden gems in the
center of our ever expanding city.
Our Karaoke party was a huge success, thank you to everyone who helped
make this event such a fun successful night!
The 2015 Spring Fling is this coming Saturday and I am so excited to see the best
Hawaiian outfits and to get myself some of that tasty Hawaiian grub! We are hoping
to get all community members, new and old out for this annual event. This is such
an amazing party and is a great opportunity to start the year off with a bang and get
out with all your neighbors. I hope to see all of you there this coming Saturday.
Doors open at 5pm Dinner at 6pm.
Our Annual General Meeting was held at the end of April and our
Community Executive is as strong as ever and we will continue to represent our
community and the needs of our constituents. If you have any concerns please do
not hesitate to contact us. It is with sad hearts that we are losing two members of our
executive, Dacia and David Herman our Social Coordinator and writer of our
Lynnwood Link who are moving on to a new home outside of Lynnwood. Thank
you again for all your hard work. We wish them and their family the best of luck
and still hope to see them at upcoming events. Come send them off with a bang at
our Spring Fling event!
Please Note we have vacant spots on our Community League Executive for
both Social Coordinator and the writer of our Lynnwood Link Newsletter, so please
consider getting involved in your community. You can email me directly at
president@lynnwoodcommunity.com if you have any questions about how you can
contribute to making our community the best in Edmonton.
