Lakewood Heights Residents Band Together For Important Cause

Mary Payton Vigil has been in school with 2 of our children over the past 3 years.  She is a beautiful 5 year old child who was diagnosed in January 2008 with a very rare, at Mary Payton Vigil this time fatal, neurological disorder called
Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (LINCL), sometimes referred to as Batten Disease. Clinical trials have begun and have had tremendous progress but they are unable to continue due to funding.  A group of Mandeville residents started Mary Payton’s Miracle Foundation in honor of Mary Payton Vigil and are determined to help fund treatment and research for the children affected by LINCL. Friends and family are determined to help save this baby’s life.  Please visit the website that has been created to read more about Mary Payton, LINCL and to make an online donation. A benefit  is being hosted on October 3, 2008 at Benedicts restaurant and sponsors, live and silent auction donations and volunteers are being sought out to help work the event.   If you are interested please email Michelle Boudreaux at michelle@marypaytonsmiracle.com or call me 504-382-2621.  If you are not able to help at this time, please read her story anyway and remember how fortunate we all are to wake up with our healthy children everyday!  There is nothing more important!




Lakewood Heights Participates in National Night Out

Tuesday, August 5th was National Night Out Against Crime (NNO) and over 30 Lakewood Heights Adults and Chiildren participated in the event by walking the 'loop' of our subdivision along with Mandeville Police Officer Ottillio. Organized by the LHIA Board, this event included the distribution of glow sticks for the children, freezer pops and cold bottled water. "This event alows neighbors to meet each other and the more of our neighbors we know the better we can work together as a neighborhood to fight crime", stated LHIA President Ken Winn.

Jamie Hamel, an LHIA Director whom helped secure Officer Ottillio for the event, stated that "We are hoping to build upon this for next year. It was fun walking the neighborhood and stopping along the way to meet neighbors". The LHIA Board thanks everyone whom participated in the event and hopes to increase the turnout in 2009.

 
Lakewood Heights Spring Party
 

The Lakewood Heights Annual Spring Fling was held on Sunday, April 5th from 3pm – 5pm. With the local park as our backdrop and great weather, there was lots of FUN for everyone. The afternoon started with coloring, cookie decorating, face painting and tattoo’s for the kids. We definitely have some up and coming artists in the neighborhood. And the cookies were as fun to decorate as they were to eat.

Next on the agenda was an egg hunt. The park grounds were layered in colorful eggs just waiting to be discovered. Over forty kids of all ages searched for as many eggs as they could find. Each age group received cool prizes which were awarded to the girl and boy who found the most eggs, the person finding the least eggs and the lucky kids who found the extra special gold/silver eggs. After collecting all the goodies inside the eggs, we took part in a little healthy competition. The “Bunny Hop”, also known as the sack race, brought everyone to their feet hopping about the green grass. We rounded out the day with an old fashioned Egg Toss. Young and old alike enjoyed this suspense filled activity with no major casualties.

When it was all said and done each child was a winner that afternoon and received a gift. From jump ropes, chalk, batons, kites, silly string, planes and bats with balls there was something for everyone. It was a super day watching the kids laugh, run and play while the adults enjoyed catching up with friends and neighbors. After all, isn’t that what it’s about? Enjoying time with our children and celebrating a community we love and call home. Thanks to everyone for making the Lakewood Heights 2009 Spring Fling a huge success. We look forward to seeing you all there next year in 2010. For a full set of images, visit the Photo Gallery.
