Larry Hance, an LTNA board member who lives on Sperry St has spearheaded a regular men’s walk. This is an informal get together, and walk, from the SOPAC garden toward the lake and around the area, probably for an hour or so weekly, and of course, you can turn back whenever you’d like (or keep going!). The men enjoyed walking the trail during spring, and now that they weather has cooled off, they are back to walking again.
 
The purpose is to give men in our neighborhood a chance to meet, connect, and maybe build some long-term relationships. Or for some, it’ll just be a little exercise! If you’d like to try it out, they will be meeting Saturday morning, November 22, at 8:00am. Please meet under the shade structure by the SoPac Butterfly garden area. And if you can’t make this, but are interested in future walks, you can reach out to Larry directly at larryhance@gmail.com  or on the Lakewood Trails NA Member GroupMe app.

For over 11 years, Lakewood Trails has provided a Thanksgiving meal for the Station 55 Fire-Rescue personnel who are on duty that day, and a Christmas meal for the Dallas Police Department Northeast Substation, both 1st and 2nd shifts. Every year, our LTNA neighbors have generously contributed food and cash donations to help make these efforts a great success and have helped deliver the meals. Needless to say, our support has been much appreciated by our firefighters and our local police personnel who work during the holidays. 
 

If you would like to contribute money to support the Christmas meal, you may either drop off or mail cash or check (payable to LTNA) to our LTNA Treasurer Larry DeBoever at 7108 Bob-O-Link Drive. You may also pay online using Venmo @LakewoodTrailsNA (please note "Holiday Meals"), or at LakewoodTrails.net (“Contact Us/Online Payments”), or use the QR Code on our Home page. Either way, please consider renewing your LTNA Membership for 2025 at the same time ($30 per household; $80 for a Friend of Lakewood Trails membership).    

 
Thanks again for your help in this worthwhile cause!
