c Thursday, August 8, 1957 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEB "'fib isiiSsi Lakeland Park P •i Joan Krlter's The rains came--but definitely ' cussed* as to building problems, ' means of financing, etc. The park site has been plowed to level the ground, and work on the baseball field is in the making. Perhaps the operation seems slow to you, but remember, we are trying to save the community house assessment money for the actual building, and working on the money we receive from dues, which0 is only twenty-five cents per month per family, it takes a lot of budgeting to do each small project. Take any one project around your own home as an example; perhaps the cost of installing your driveway, fend you will readily see what your board of directors has to cope with. Approximately two months of dues from each family goes to defray the cost of stickers for your home and car alone. The com-, munity house and other projects can only be completed through your prompt payment of dues and assessments. The sooner you pay, the sooner the work is done. --these past weeks and the effective operation of the storm sew: ers are now evident, I am sure, to all of us. To those of us who can remember back two or three years to the small" lakes on almost every lot with every rain, large and small, an extra measure of gratitude for the storm sewers fills our hearts as we view the perfect drainage throughout our subdivision. Our continued success in keying our land dry, however, hinge's on each and every sewer being kept open and in good working Order. The cost of having this work done by a contractor is prohibitive, and actually the time aind labor required to do oije sewer is very little. If YOU have a sewer near your home, please keep to check on it to see that it is kept open at all times. If the lines running from these sewers clog with debris, it will mean the end of drainage for your property and a good many other residents. Working parties for cleaning Women's Club sewers can be formed. Please con- T ^ ... - .. tact your block captain and dis- T . . /p , .,7 , . , , , cuss the matter with him. THIS L®k ftland P^k Woma" S ?ub had jo a • another meeting on Monday evening, July 29 at the home of Helen Haynes. The committee is working hard on the revising of the bylaws in order to have them ready for presentation at the club's September meeting. Dolores Belohlavy, Helen Kotryck, Alice" Quaiver, Helen Haynes and Lyda Radisch were at this meeting. After the work session, refreshments were served. Members of the ways and means committee are still hard at work raising funds for the club. Helen Strandquist ^nd Dorothy Uttich hostessed a delighful beach luncheon on Thursday, August 2 at the west"beach. Along with thirty women present, forty four children also enjoyed the hot dog and barbeque beef menu. Surprisingly, the thundering herd of children were not heard at all, making for a very pleasant and relaxing afternoon for the mothers. The guest list. of grownups included Lyda Radisch, Marge Casey, Betty Laurence. Mary Laurence, Marge Schmidt, Ann Leigh, Lee Glorch, Alice Quaiver, Pat Linnane, Helen Kotryck, Lucille Stevens, Clara Reinhardt, Dolores Rogers, Sophie O'Gara, Marge Dent, Ivy Lezak, Ann Borovec, Joyce Quaiver, Rose Association .News Kluk, Arlene Bartos, Ann Herzog, The community hou§e project Mary Brochocki, Rita LaPar, Jean V Dues .The dues for the sefcond quarter are now past due. If you have not already made your payment, please contact your block captain. No block captain is more than a block or two from your home. It is a hardship for these good people who are donating their time to , have to make several trips, and spoil several days of their free ••time, to find everyone at home. It *will be a great help to them if you will take a walk in our good country air and leave the dues with them. This is a good way to cement good neighbor relations with your block captain as they, themselves, are certainly the best of neighbors Also, remember, the LPPOA has to pay the garb^eman monthly whetner we have received your 0noney or not. By not paying your dues on time, you are actually taking unfair advantage of your neighbors who pay promptly as the dues money from them, which could be used for community inv provements, has to go to take care of your past due bills. desiring to do their bit can take a clue from this very successful event. 'Teen Club Corner Thursday, July 30 was the date. The event--the Junior 'Teen Club went horseback riding^ near Fox Lake.

Sorry To Hear Helen Strandquist fell on the breezeway of her home and is suffering from a sprained ankle with complications. Anyone knowing Helen also knows the tremendous amount of work she does for the community in all the various projects. For so fine a person to have an accident makes us feel doubly bad. All we can say is "Hurry and get well, Helen, we miss you." Jhas certainly not been put aside or forgotten by the board of directors.
