Lakes residents are invited to attend the Lakes Book Club on Thursday, October 17 at 7 PM. We will be meeting upstairs at the Lakes Clubhouse. All are welcome to attend the discussion even if you have not read the book
Maureen Harrison will lead a discussion of The Women by Kristen Hannah. This book is an epic tribute to the unsung female heroes of the Viet Nam War. It is about deep friendships and bold patriotism.
The Lakes Activities Committee is hosting a community lighted bike parade on Saturday, October 19 at 6 PM. This will be the second annual Halloween Lighted Bike Ride. The first ride was a big, fun night and we're doing it again. This is a family friendly event, not a race so, get creative with colored lights, streamers and bells on your bikes, trikes, and scooters for a fun neighborhood ride.
We will meet at the Beach and Tennis Club at 6 PM and pass out glow sticks to all participants. We'll depart together and stop at two candy stations at The Lakes parks. Parents are responsible for their children during this event.
We will have two categories for competition.
Kids are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes if they would like and neighbors are encouraged to view from the parks and sidewalks as they pass. You are welcome to bring some candy to pass out as well.
