This is a friendly reminder about our upcoming neighborhood association meeting on Thursday, October 17 at 7 PM. The meeting will be held in Room 244 at Lafayette High School.

We have two important topics on the agenda:

  1. Lexington Long Term Planning Update: Representatives will discuss the potential impacts on our neighborhood and provide insights into upcoming projects.
  2. Lexington Parks Sustainable Funding Initiative: Our guest speakers, David Lowe and Virginia Meyer from the Lexington Parks and Recreation Board, will present an overview of the Parks Sustainable Funding Ballot Initiative. This proposal seeks to establish a dedicated fund for city parks through a portion of Lexington’s property tax. A referendum on this issue will be on the November 2024 ballot. David and Virginia will provide details and answer questions about this important topic.

Please use the library door to the right of the main entrance to enter. Our board members will be there to help direct you (see photo).

Lafayette’s 75th Anniversary will be held this Friday and Saturday.  Hundreds of former alumni are expected to attend.  Picadome Neighbors who are not alumni are also invited. Please help us welcome these guests into our neighborhood by being understanding that there is limited parking for such a large event. Many guests will have to park along our neighborhood streets.

Update: 75 Trees for 75 Years

On March 21, we successfully planted 75 trees on the grounds of Lafayette High School.  However, after the planting, we discovered that 23 of the trees had been planted too deeply. According to Dave Leonard, certified arborist and volunteer consultant on this project, trees will die if planted too deeply.  We had to devise a plan to lift the trees.

Thanks to 10 determined volunteers working over Saturday and Sunday, all 23 trees that needed to be raised up in their beds, now have been!  All that will be needed in the next few weeks is mulching with the wood chips that Dave Leonard, has generously offered to donate and deliver. When the wood chips are delivered, we will be adding mulch to each of the 75 trees. Thank you to all who gave time this weekend for this great project!
