Welcome to the New Year! Our first civic league meeting of 2025 will be Tuesday, January 21st, 7:00 pm, in the Shelton Park Elementary School cafeteria (enter behind the school).
We will have Ashton Holliday-Goulart, an extension agent from the Virginia Cooperative Extension, as our guest speaker. You may ask yourself “what’s the Virginia Cooperative Extension, and why is that important to residents of Lake Shores?” Those are two good questions. One is she will provide information on the Hampton Roads Agriculture Research Extension Center, that expansive undeveloped area bordered by Northampton to the south, Baker Road to the east, and Diamond Springs to the north. Some of you may remember a proposal a couple of years ago to swap land and move the AREC to the Pungo, area and develop the current property with more housing. Ashton will also discuss the work of the Virginia Cooperative Extension, and also speak to the Master Gardener program.
Some folks have asked about having a speaker from the Master Gardeners come to one our meetings, however we’d like to gauge the interest since their presentations are focused on specific topics and can be 45 to 60 minutes long. You can see a list of speaker bureau presentations here.
We’ll have our normal membership meeting with committee reports, minutes from the previous meeting, and any new business after our speakers.
Our treasurer will also be happy to take dues for the rest of the 2024-2025 year. It’s only $10 a year per household and you need to be a member to vote on any issues.
Please park in the rear of the school and access the cafeteria through the double glass doors. Please see the map on this post.
