November News - Lake Desire Community

November 12 Updates

1. Missing cat – Please keep an eye out for a missing cat “Sam”, pictures attached to this email. Sam escaped the house and has been missing a week. His owners are anxious to find him and hoping he's just lost.  He's chipped and collared with tags, and they saw him last heading for their back pasture. They live at the horse farm near the swamp. If you see Sam please email Sonja.kairis@gmail.com.

2. Next Tuesday – Lake Desire Community Meeting – 7pm at the Clubhouse
Have any items for the agenda? Want to come meet your Board? Join us! We usually have treats. See you there!

3. Kent School District Clothing Bank As the holidays roll around and you are thinking about charity giving, please consider the Kent School District Clothing Bank. They are in need of clean, gently used coats, hats, mittens and blankets and NEW socks & underwear.  So check out your closets.  All sizes needed, even high school. So they can take adult sizes.  Contact Tammie Cook (tammiecook29@yahoo.com) for donations.

4. Yearly print newsletter coming in January – We are looking for anyone who might like to help us contribute articles and design our upcoming print Lake Desire Newsletter in January. We typically start assembling articles, etc in December for mailing in January. This is the time of year we ask for memberships to be mailed in, and would welcome someone who might be interested in helping us coordinate the newsletter this year. Please contact staffordlkdesire@gmail.com if interested.
