With the New Year practically just around the corner, your LPPOA board of directors are in the process of ordering car stickers once again for its members. Everyone driving to the city is fully aware of the benefits of having one of these stickers for their i autos. These stickers are given to LPPOA members free of charge, as one of the many services rendered. Inasmuch as the cost of these stickers is high when compared with the dues collect-' ed, the stickers will only be passed out to members in good standing. A member in good standing is one who has paid all dues and assessments. Therefore, anyone who has not paid their community house and light assessments will not be entitled to nor receive a car sticker. The Community house and light assessments were voted in by the membership and it Is, therefore, the duty of all members to pay and pay alike. If you are not "positive about your standing as a member, contact your block captain or board momber. They will be more than happy to check the. records for you to ascertain whether, your assessments are all paid. Regular Service > Don't l'orget to set out "ye old garbage pail" tomorrow.
